[Histonet] lab humidifiers

[Sanders, Jeanine (CDC/OID/NCEZID)]

Thanks. We dog log the temp. I have had several service techs come in and comment on how much static we have. It has been worse than usual lately so am looking into options. Thanks much for your input!

We are struggling with our humidity constantly.
Colorado is dry in the winter.
We use at least two humidifiers to try to keep humidity at minimum 30% due
to equipment manufacturer¹s specs.
We have log sheets and thermometer/humidifier measurers to keep track of
humidity.
Standard for equipment seems to be 30 - 80% humidity per manufacturer¹s
specifications of processors, etc.
Good luck
