Local Supplier To Health Industry Donates Microscope To Local School
Helapet, leading UK cleanroom consumables company and filter manufacturer, are delighted to present local school, Houghton Regis Academy, with a Euromex Metallurgical Type Microscope, a significantly more advanced scope to be used alongside their own equipment in the Science Lab.
Helapet were conducting one of their regular tours of their manufacturing facility to spot any ways they can improve efficiencies as part of their 5S policy. The microscope was spotted as an unused item that had been languishing in the corner. Its purpose had been to inspect the filtration media used in their filter manufacturing for quality control. It stopped being used when more advanced inspection techniques were adopted. In order to make way for more efficient processes, it was decided to remove the unit and find another owner in a drive to be more environmentally aware.
Helapet has a strong ethos of giving back to their local community so went in search of a worthy school to donate this and were pleased to discover local middle school Houghton Regis Academy, would accept and make use of the microscope. It will be used by students aged 9 to 13 years.
Helapet has recently been awarded the Investors in People - Gold.
