[Histonet] New Lab

[P Sicurello]

Hi Tasha,

How fun!  All I can say is ventilation, ventilation, ventilation.  If you
can't get proper ventilation I recommend Sentry Air Systems.  They have
portable fume extractors that use a series of carbon filters, to suck up
the xylene or formaldehyde vapors.

Sincerely,

Paula Sicurello, HTL (ASCP)CM
