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 Feature Article Researchers Develop Device That Emulates Human Kidney Function Model is a unique platform to study interactions between drugs and cells or tissues where current models are lacking Instead of running tests on live kidneys, researchers at Binghamton University have developed a model kidney for working out the kinks in medicines and treatments. Read More Management Tips Treat Your Employees like Volunteers There are benefits to a leader treating their employees like volunteers In dire situations, a leader must give orders based on their position—with no push back or discussion. In today’s workplace, it is often not very effective. People resent being told what to do—especially when they receive conflicting direction from multiple leaders.

Read More Shopping for a New Rotary Evaporator? Choosing the Best Rotary Evaporator for Your Application Purchasing the right rotary evaporator for your lab might not be as straightforward as you think Linda the lab manager and her team examine some of the features to consider when purchasing a new rotary evaporator for your lab in this Lab Manager video sponsored by IKA. View Now White Papers and Application Notes Using FT-IR Microspectroscopy for Contaminant Identification in Paper Products The global production of pulp and paper products exceeds 400 million tons annually and is growing. With an emphasis on product quality and yield, it is important to identify contamination in paper products and remove the source. Infrared (IR) spectroscopy is ideally suited to characterize unknown solids and the utility of FT-IR microspectroscopy in the microanalysis of pulp and paper contamination. With advances in instrumentation, the technique provides better optical performance at reasonable cost, bringing FT-IR microspectroscopy within reach of more analysts.
