Innovative laboratory gas delivery system for flexi labs at AstraZeneca

The innovative laboratory gas delivery system Medical Gases has designed for the AstraZeneca Research and Development Centre, which comprises over 100 000 metres of pipework and more than 1000 outlets, makes flexi lab working a reality. The copper pipes supplying the gases have outlets in the laboratories which connect to special flexible hoses, providing those using the laboratory with the option to reconfigure the layout of it and still safely deliver the gases required to wherever they are needed, or to add additional lines. Although this is a  high specification specialist system this innovative approach means that modifications can be carried out by on-site maintenance with no compromise to the system’s integrity and without specialist intervention. The couplings between the hoses and taps are specific to the gas to be supplied to avoid cross contamination and the various threats to health and safety that may result from this.
