StarFish makes an eco friendly splash
StarFish makes an eco friendly splash
The StarFish multi-experiment work station from
Radleys, reduces waste and costs while increasing
productivity in the chemistry labs at Bradford
University.
Laboratory Manager, Alan Hague, from the
School of Life Sciences at the University of Bradford
has invested in multiple StarFish systems for use
in the Chemical & Forensic Sciences (CFS) teaching
labs.
Alan Hague said: ‘Before we invested in StarFish
we would often have five individual water baths
or heating mantles set up, each taking up space,
requiring their own electric and water supplies and
individual condenser set ups. We wanted a simple, versatile alternative to improve
the student experience, make better use of laboratory facilities and space as well
as give the students an experience of up-to-date technology in use in Industry; the
Radleys StarFish delivered in all aspects.’
Bradford is an Eco-versity and the StarFish sits very well with the universities’
aim of reducing energy and waste. Using only one heat source, as opposed to
five, reduces the electrical energy requirement and therefore the carbon footprint
and cost of operation.
