Chuck Akers is the Founder and CEO at Isolation Sciences.
Dr. Akers co-invented the Continuous Access Port technology in 2006, with the inspiration: If one could have movable ports in a physical flexible barrier film, one could have unobstructed access to the interior of an isolated or containment space. The initial concept application was a
temporary individual patient isolation enclosure that would allow medical personnel full unobstructed, rapid and continuous access to the isolated patient and maintain full medical isolation capability.
In 2008, Chuck was asked to apply the Continuous Access Port technology to fume hood operations to lower excessive energy loss and improve fume hood containment features. As a laboratory scientist doing research and development, Chuck has first-hand experience with the dangers of poor fume hood containment and high energy loss. Utilizing the current Fume Hood CAP™ design and future technologies, Chuck hopes to lower the need to “conditioned” laboratory air that is currently being exhausted through fume hoods to meet OSHA and ANSI standards and improve the containment capability of fume hoods to lower laboratory exposure toxic contaminates.
