Clinical labs should put these basic measures in place to reduce infection rates and prepare for continuity Safety Here are the basic safety measures clinical labs can take to prevent the spread of infection: Any staff member who becomes sick should stay home until they are asymptomatic. All staff should avoid spending time around other people who are sick. All [...]
Reliable storage and temperature monitoring are essential to maintain the cold chain and avoid catastrophic vaccine loss The key to successfully completing vaccination campaigns is safely storing the vaccines until they are administered. Every time vaccines encounter heat, cold, or light, they lose efficacy. In order to maintain an ideal environment, vaccines are often stored in dedicated refrigerators and freezers—or [...]
Key considerations when it comes to ultra-low temperature freezer performance, as well as creating the best cell culture environment What you need to know when buying an ultra-low temperature freezer What does BTU performance actually mean when evaluating an ultra-low temperature freezer? As the industry strives to develop more energy efficient freezers, it is important to be knowledgeable of British [...]
While collecting samples is step one of any diagnostic procedure, storage is equally important. Without the right approach and lab equipment, scientists risk jeopardising the integrity of a sample and the results generated. So how do laboratories store samples correctly? It all depends on the type of sample collected and the environment in which it’s being stored. Below, we take [...]
