Read More White Papers and Application Notes Productive Biological Sample Concentrator Range Incorporating an improved pressure controller with intuitive programming and graphical display, miVac concentrators are now even easier to use, extremely quiet, and are 40% faster than comparably priced biological sample concentrators. Capable of removing solvents from a variety of sample formats including tubes, microplates and vials, miVac concentrators can also be used to freeze dry aqueous samples. miVac systems are suitable for use with a wide range of solvents, from volatile organic types through to water and many medium boiling point solvents.

Read More Lab Health and Safety Fume Hood Installation Tips for Optimal Performance The chemical fume hood is probably the single most-used piece of equipment in research laboratories. Often, the chemical hood is shared by lab personnel, and occasionally it’s shared between labs Common problems we see with hoods include improper installation and setup and its all-too-frequent use for storage, among others. So we thought a discussion on basic design principles, proper operation, and proper installation of the chemical fume hood was in order. Read More Considering a Gas Subscription Service? Evaluating a Gas Subscription Service Learn about the advantages of a gas subscription Join Linda the lab manager and her team as they consider the benefits of purchasing a gas subscription in this short video sponsored by Peak Scientific. View Now Feature Article Grow, Mow, Mulch: Finding Lawn's Value Research team finds that the amount of carbon deposited into the soil was affected by the species of grass and how it was mown Cranking up the lawn mower on a Saturday afternoon may be a child’s most dreaded chore. But little does he or she know that it also affects how much carbon and nitrogen are present in the soil below the grass.

Yet in conventional two-dimensional (2D) cell cultures, cells are grown on flat and rigid substrates that often fail to capture the natural 3D environments present in tissue. Learn more about how 3D cell culture has allowed researchers to overcome the limitations of 2D models.

The research could lead to huge economic gains in the pharmaceutical and agrichemical sectors, plus more affordable medicines for healthcare providers. Read More Feature Article Study Finds Troubling Inconsistency in Dialysis Blood Testing Methods The inconsistency means doctors are left to make important patient-care decisions based on potentially inaccurate information A blood test used to determine the health and well-being of dialysis patients produces worryingly inconsistent results depending on which testing method is used, new research reveals. Read More White Papers and Application Notes Titration Automation Guide Automating titration solutions means more than simply the titration results and calculations performed by automatic titrators. Sample preparation steps and operator independent sample series analysis must also be included. The main focus is on the repeated analysis of routine tasks. Why Automate? Improve results quality Increase efficiency Provide result security and compliance Download the FREE guide to learn more White Papers and Application Notes Using FT-IR Microspectroscopy for Contaminant Identification in Engineered Plastics Engineered plastic components are ubiquitous in modern society. Plastics have the advantage of lowering cost, reducing parts count and weight, and providing ultimate industrial design flexibility as complicated functional shapes can be easily produced. The analysis of contaminants in engineered plastics is important for aesthetics or functional acceptance.
