In chemistry, biology, and medicine, a pipette is a piece of typical equipment for transferring a precise amount of liquid. It is one of the most important advancements in pipetting. Different designs, capacities, and technical capabilities are available in electronic pipettes. To get accurate findings, pipetting should be done with extreme precision. Why use electronic pipettes? You should use manual [...]

Since its invention over 400 years ago, the microscope has opened our eyes to a veritable world of living things all around us. The ability to magnify a sample to many times its actual size has allowed to us to surpass the capabilities of the human eye and unlock a wide number of breakthroughs in many aspects of science and [...]

An artificial environment is used for the placement of cells during cell development in cell culture. This makes sure that the requirement of oxygen along with other nutrients is supplied equally. It also ensures that the ideal temperature required for the development and growth of the cells is met. An incubator along with a lab shaker is necessary for such [...]

Freeze drying, also known as lyophilisation, is widely used across the pharmaceuticals industry. The process exposes products or specimens to temperatures below freezing, then uses a high-pressure vacuum to extract water and transform it into vapour. A condenser is used to collect vapour, where it’s converted into ice crystals and removed. After the initial freeze drying stage, the product or [...]

WHAT ISSUES CAN ARISE WHEN LABORATORY STAFF PROCESS BLOOD SAMPLES MANUALLY? With whole blood processing, normally you should mix the sample well, open it, and then start distributing. What operators often do instead to save time is mix all of the samples sitting in the rack first, and then open all the tubes and start pipetting. Unfortunately, while you are [...]

Why automation? As laboratory methodologies became more specific and specialized—with added attention to the value of laboratory results—the volume of orders increased along with diversified test menus. Automation generally eliminates tedious time-consuming tasks. Automation improves laboratory ordering/testing/reporting. This is accomplished through higher throughput, higher production rates, increased productivity, efficient use of reagents and materials, and standardization, which decreases the frequency [...]

Laboratories use a lot of resources. In general, laboratories use 10 times more energy and four times more water than office spaces.But how can your laboratory do its part to reduce the amount of waste it produces? This article reviews the different waste streams and explores ways that labs can reduce the amount of waste they produce without adding a [...]

It is critical to select a microscope serving your purpose depending on the type of application. Understand these basic concepts before buying a microscope: There are two magnification sources in a microscope. The first is the objective lens, and the second one is the eyepiece lens. The calculation of the total magnification is done by obtaining the product of the [...]

Prolonged pipetting can cause fatigue, pain and even the risk of injuries. Correct pipetting techniques can significantly improve your results, enhance your working comfort and reduce the risks associated with RSI. Find out three tips and tricks to pipette like a Pro. Pipetting liquids is a key part of scientific research. In recent months, the Covid pandemic has for many, [...]

Every sector has a part to play in reducing carbon footprint and impact on the environment. But how can laboratories take this approach when the industry produces higher emissions than the automotive industry. Plus, with the healthcare sector contributing around 4.4% of global gas emissions – it can present challenges. The key here is taking the first steps and making changes. So, [...]
