Dear All,

I would like to ask if you can give me information or website link on NMR
safety protocols with regards to handling biohazards. Specifically if there
is any device that you install on top and bottom of NMR magnets in case of
sample breakage inside the probe in order to absorb or filter aerosols
during "accidental" sample ejection. The other way the sample can leak is
towards the variable temperature (VT) gas line, so it is probably best to
turn off VT gas flow when doing such experiments. Please let me know details
of design and materials of such devices.

Thank you very much in advance.

Sincerely,

Christian Canlas
