Lab drying ovens are a vital piece of equipment in many laboratories, used for drying samples, removing moisture from materials, and sterilizing equipment. Choosing the right lab drying oven can be a challenging task, as there are many different types and models available. In this blog post, we will provide some tips on how to choose the right lab [...]

Cross-contamination is a major concern for any laboratory and can lead to false and inaccurate results. It is important to have a clear understanding of what the traffic within the laboratory will be like on the day of the relocation itself. Laboratories can be crowded spaces with workers often sharing assets and facilities and high traffic areas where there is [...]

A CO2 incubator is a gassed incubator that creates a natural atmosphere in order to develop cell and tissue cultures. The temperature, humidity, and CO2 content must match the cell culture requirements. CO2 incubators are enclosures designed to precisely control the environment needed to grow biological or cell cultures. CO2 Incubator is widely used in modern medicine, biology, chemistry and [...]

The freezers that are used in the lab are used a lot. If you are anticipating heavy use, then it is best to purchase stainless steel. Buy a freezer that comes with a ducted airflow that allows rapid recovery of temperatures. Shelves and the self-closing door should also be looked for in the cold storage unit. Security It is [...]

Every sector has a part to play in reducing carbon footprint and impact on the environment. But how can laboratories take this approach when the industry produces higher emissions than the automotive industry. Plus, with the healthcare sector contributing around 4.4% of global gas emissions – it can present challenges. The key here is taking the first steps and making [...]

A muffle furnace, also known as a retort furnace, is a piece of oven-type equipment that can reach high temperatures. It usually works by putting a high-temperature heating coil in an insulating material. The insulating material effectively acts as a muffle, preventing heat from escaping. How does a muffle furnace work? A Muffle furnace allows rapid high-temperature heating, recovery, [...]

A particle size analyzer is an analytical instrument that measures, visualizes and reports a particle size distribution for a given particle or droplet population. Particle size analyzers play an important role during process development and quality control of particle systems in order to develop efficient processes and achieve high final product quality. Traditionally, sampling and offline particle size analyzers [...]

A fume hood is typically a large piece of equipment enclosing five sides of a work area, the bottom of which is most commonly located at a standing work height. Two main types exist, ducted and recirculating (ductless). The principle is the same for both types: air is drawn in from the front (open) side of the cabinet, and [...]

From reliance on single-use plastic products to the use of high-energy-consumption equipment like -80°C freezers and fume hoods, modern clinical labs leave a surprisingly large carbon footprint. Indeed, a laboratory typically consumes between four and five times more energy per square foot than a commercial space. This scenario can be a wake-up call for clinical labs to adopt more sustainable [...]

Laboratory shakers, also known as mixers, are laboratory products used in chemistry and biology to mix liquids and prepare solutions and suspensions. This equipment creates a movement between liquids or between liquids and solids to achieve processes of mixing, suspension, dispersion, homogenization, heat transfer, etc. At present, stirring systems (agitators) are used in all laboratories, be they chemistry, or [...]
