Pupils at Writhlington School are learning the aseptic techniques required for orchid seed sowing, one skill amongst many which may be of use to them in a range of future careers. Several distributors and manufacturers of laminar flow cabinets were approached – Bigneat was selected, their cabinet being purchased through leading laboratory distributor, Scientific & Chemical Supplies. The main reason for this choice of cabinet supplier was based on the willingness of manufacturer Bigneat to work with and support Writhlington School and other associates such as Botanic Gardens Conservation International in their work. Simon Pugh-Jones commented: “We really think all schools should be working in clean air and teaching aseptic techniques so that students are prepared with skills which will be of use in a range of future careers in biological fields such as medical,
chemical and life sciences, across to physics subjects such as microelectronics
and nanotechnology.”
