Firstly we are well aware of the dangers of HBTU and it's potential effects
on the respiratory system and our lab does everything it can to minimise
the possibility of this occuring.
We are wondering if anyone else has had a person(s) in their Laboratories
become hyperallergic to HBTU.
We have and this person only has to enter the lab sometimes and will begin
to sneeze. Trace contacts gives severe respiratory reactions (ie become
extremely difficult to breathe) and swelling at contact point. This
person has worked in our labs for sometime now and has only recently (last
couple of months) become this severerly reactive to HBTU. We are of
course moving her onto other areas of endevour within our laboratories.
So far no body else in the lab has been affected in this way desipte
working as long or longer with HBTU. We would appreciate knowing if there
have been cases in other labs where this has occurred.
And lastly
Thank you to those people who replied to the request about converting the
ABI430A to PC control. We considering our possibilities.
With many thanks
Steve
