At the S-Lab awards this September, the University won in the Best New Product category for our StarStream device and we were Highly Commended in the Environmental Improvement category for Wind Responsive Fume Extract.
S-Lab awards bring together University, commercial, and public sector laboratories from across the UK to share practice and innovation. Southampton was recognised in both of our nominated categories, making us the only institution to pick up more than one award.
The StarStream device supplies a gentle stream of water through a nozzle that generates ultrasound and bubbles, which dramatically improve the cleaning power of water with reduced additives and heating. The Wind Responsive Fume Extract works to ensure that fumes from laboratories can be safely extracted in all weather conditions.
Our congratulations go to all those involved in these fantastic projects, and other winners at the S-Lab awards.
