In a previous Greening the Bench post, Switch Off to Save: Tackling Plug Load in the Lab , we explored how small changes to equipment habits can cut energy use. This time, we’re looking at biosafety cabinets, a piece of lab kit often left running 24/7, and how simply switching them off when not in use can save energy without affecting safety. Whether you’re working with cell cultures, buffers, or other sensitive materials, it’s common for biosafety cabinets (BSCs) to be left

In a previous Greening the Bench post, Rethink Before You Recycle: Tackling Lab Consumables Waste , we looked at how rethinking what we use can have a big impact on lab waste. This time, we’re taking that same mindset to the experimental scale itself, exploring how much can be saved, both financially and environmentally, by simply doing more with less. Whether you’re preparing buffers, culturing cells, or running chromatographic analyses, there’s often room to scale down. Min
