The recent event in the MRI installation at NY Hospital has me thinking that
my lab should have a safety sensor to detect low levels of oxygen.
My lab is well ventilated, but what is ventilation should fail and
something else,
such as a quench or break to one of the liquid N2 tanks I keep in the lab?
(We keep several, the mass spec needs it...)
Maybe far-fetched, but actually, maybe not very....
I have looked in my AMMRL archive and found a few discussions,
including the recent one in April concerning safety issues.
But nothing about sources and specific brands of these monitors
(and costs)
Scanning through my Fisher catalog, I see a few, including
and inexpensive pocket model.
So I am asking AMMRL's: if you have a sensor in you lab, what brand
do you have?
Any positive/negative experiences with any?
Any recommendations?
Thanks, and I'll summarize if I get enough responses!
