The microplate has evolved over the past 65 years into an indispensable piece of equipment used in many labs today. Learn more about the history and evolution of microplate technology. Download the FREE infographic Feature Article How to Deal with Solvent Bumping and Foaming During Evaporation Both products and techniques can help reduce these issues Bumping and foaming are problems that commonly arise during evaporation and can lead to sample loss and contamination. The primary culprits are applying too much heat, too much rotational speed, or too much vacuum to a particular application. Read More Management Tips A Lab Manager's Guide to Sustainable Lab Practices Scientists often overlook some of the intuitive but less-obvious ways to reduce energy use in the lab Opportunities for conservation in research laboratories are varied and abundant, yet scientists often focus their attention on the most visible form of lab waste—plastic—and overlook one of the largest contributors to greenhouse gas emissions: electricity.
