Read More Considering a Ductless Fume Hood? What to Consider When Choosing a Ductless Fume Hood Simpler to use, safer to operate Join Linda the lab manager as she discovers some of the options to consider during the evaluation and purchase of a ductless fume hood in this video sponsored by Erlab. Read More Feature Article Small Nanoparticles Have Surprisingly Big Effects on Polymer Nanocomposites When researchers tried to verify that shrinking nanoparticle size would adversely affect the mechanical properties of polymer nanocomposites, they got a big surprise Polymer nanocomposites mix particles billionths of a meter in diameter with polymers, which are long molecular chains. Often used to make injection-molded products, they are common in automobiles, fire retardants, packaging materials, drug-delivery systems, medical devices, sensors, and consumer goods. Read More Management Tips Maximizing Your Conference and Seminar Spend When organizations are forced to reduce operating budgets, travel and conferences are often the first line items to be cut Conferences—from scientific meetings and trade shows to educational training events focused on specific skills like lab management—are at the core of scientific innovation. These venues provide lab managers with key opportunities to showcase their work, build future collaborations, and develop essential skills to enhance research capacity. Read More White Papers and Application Notes Evaluation of Micro-Fibers Utilizing Microspectroscopy Forensic investigations commonly involve the collection of textile fibers when examining crime scenes. The need to characterize and identify those fibers is vital as they can provide extensive information relating to a crime, tying a suspect to a location. FT-IR presents a nondestructive method to identify those fibers. FT-IR can be coupled with microscopy, presenting the ability to provide a forensic examiner with both detailed visual microscopic information and simultaneous material identification.

Today, newer purification technologies have proved their efficiency and robustness, and compete with distillation. Download this technical report and learn more about: The basic principles of water purification technologies How the Elix® UV technology compares to single and double distillation concerning removal of organics, ions, and bacteria Download your FREE resource Feature Article New Enzyme-Like Tool Lets Chemists Modify Hard-to-Reach Spots on Drug Molecules Researchers demonstrated their new catalytic template by using it to modify molecules that are commonly found in drugs and other biologically active compounds Chemists have devised a versatile molecule-building tool for creating new drugs. The tool is a small molecule known as a template. It has a long, curved structure and functions like a crane and wrecking-ball, anchoring itself temporarily to one part of a target molecule and swinging an atom of palladium to break a chemical bond at a distant part of the molecule.
