This time next week it will be all about the Microscale, as the chemistry team at CLEAPSS decamp to support the UK edition of the International Microscale Conference. CLEAPSS will be supporting the event all week long, if you are there come and collect a CLEAPSS Mug or see our model chemical store.

Today we are at possibly the largest technicians conference in the UK (possibly the world?). Yes we are at the Technicians Conference in Birmingham run by John Booth. This event is always full, and has a great range of speakers and presenters including Steve Jones our director.

Chemicals and Hot Weather If temperature is high only during the day and fall overnight, this is unlikely to present a significant issue. However, if the temperature in your store room stays above 28’c for 24hrs a day, and for a week or longer then consider additional controls.

CLEAPSS is international.... Although we are best known for our work across all schools in England, Wales and Northern Ireland we have members across the world. Any overseas school can be member of CLEAPSS which gives you access to our resources and out training and audits.
