Early instruments were hand powered, but in 1912, with the introduction of electric centrifuges, that changed. The early centrifuges were mostly used for non-biological applications, such as separating milk and collecting precipitates.

Read More Management Tips Guidelines Toward an Ergonomically Friendly Lab The office aspect of laboratory research should not be overlooked In today’s modern laboratory, it’s just a fact that you are going to spend some time on a computer and perform other repetitive actions. Do you have grant or budget information or data to enter into spreadsheets? Do you have a stack of standard operating procedures, a chemical hygiene plan, or chemical inventory documents to review and update?

Read More Feature Article Gas Generators and the Benefits of Preventive Care Labs are increasingly doing away with gas cylinders and acquiring on-site gas generators instead A number of factors, including cost, safety, and the environment, are motivating the change to on-site gas generators. The lower maintenance demand of gas generators versus gas cylinders is another key reason why so many labs are eager to get themselves set up with an on-site gas solution.
