In such systems, however, the exhaust port of the oil rotary vane vacuum pumps must be either equipped with active alumina filter or the pipe must be directed to an outdoor atmosphere to get rid of the nasty oil mists. </div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">Cheers</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">Ferrie </div><div><br></div><div data-smartmail="gmail_signature">Dr.-Ing Farzad Hamdi, <br>EM Engineer - Staff Scientist<br>Kastritis Laboratory for Biomolecular Research (KLBR)<br>Cryo-Electron Microscopy & Computational Structural Biology<br>__<br>Institute of Biochemistry and Biotechnology<br>Martin-Luther-Universität Halle-Wittenberg (MLU)<br>ZIK HALOmem & Biozentrum, Room A.2.14 & 15<br>Weinbergweg 22, 06120, Halle (Saale), Germany<br><br><br>Phone: <br><br><br>Office: +49 345 5524984<br>Glacios Room: +49 345 5524883<br>JEM-3200FSC Room: +49 345 5524868 <br><br>web (Lab): <a href="https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://blogs.urz.uni-halle.de/kastritislab/__;!!Mih3wA!G--tjnEs_GdqCCok0Y3u6C_J-E9ne_CG-2r4X2YwqdPsO2ZM-m9LU0fnOa-B4AmHy_pKZcZ1osPshd_Yfg$">https://blogs.urz.uni-halle.de/kastritislab/</a><br><br>Achtung: Falls Sie diese E-Mail auf Deutsch erhalten, bedenken Sie bitte, dass sie mit dem Deepl AI Übersetzer übersetzt werden könnte.<br> </div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Wed, Feb 14, 2024, 21:48 Morgan, David Gene <<a href="mailto:dagmorga@indiana.edu">dagmorga@indiana.edu</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">

This is for any of you who have a plasma cleaner. What have you done about venting the "exhaust gases" from the device? </div>

We are moving our Fischione plasma cleaner into a new area sample prep area. In the old location, we were able to connect the exit port of the cleaner directly into the exhaust snorkel where a fume hood was once connected. In our new location, that will either
be impossible or will require a connection that spans many meters and passes through multiple walls. </div>

I am wondering how necessary people think it is to vent directly into some sort of building exhaust system. Any thoughts?</div>
