It’s a routine operation performed thousands of times each day in laboratories around the world, but it’s still possible to get microplate sealing wrong. A properly sealed microplate will protect its samples from contamination by dust, spores, or other atmospheric…
Research into the fluid dynamics of fine particulate materials at the department of chemical engineering at Imperial College London is set to benefit from a customised laboratory reactor system from Asynt. With a bespoke glass reactor vessel, ReactoMate Datum support…
MANY laboratory processes and reactions can be operated effectively at the micro scale, taking advantage of the growing usefulness of microfluidic technologies and micro-reactors. But many real-world operations involve suspended solids or other particles, which make micro-technologiess ineffective because the…
A compact new benchtop laboratory reactor from Asynt has the flexibility to accommodate a wide range of reaction vessels, with volumes from just 100ml to five litres. The ReactoMate Datum is a controlled lab reactor (CLR) that allows chemists to…
HEROLAB says it is well known for making centrifuges, but less well known for wide range of centrifuge tubes and bottles. The company says its Centrifuge Labware guide gives extensive information on product selection information, and contains valuable information for…
COLE-PARMER offers three new high-speed multitube holders as accessories for its original Vortex-Genie 2 and Vortex-Genie pulse mixers. The new tube holders are optimised to achieve the highest vortex action when mixing only a small number of tubes. The Vortex-Genie…
STORING high sample volumes in the minimum space is a challenge faced by many laboratories. Micronic now offers a new answer to this perennial dilemma with its 2.00ml storage tubes, which provide higher volume storage within an industry-standard 96-tube rack…
LAUNCHED in response to concern over the potential health and environmental issues of phthalates and Bisphenol A (BPA), Cole-Parmer’s new Masterflex Tygon E-LFL tubing is now available for use with peristaltic pumps. The new formulation replaces Masterflex LFL tubing, which…
WATCHING a chemist struggling to pipette an unusually viscous oil sample into a standard autosampler vial, Jerry Finneran recognised that standard labware wasn’t making this tedious job any easier. Because of the viscosity of the sample, the oil was adhering to…
MANY laboratory samples are sensitive to degradation by light, presenting particular challenges in handling and storage. Now Asynt has launched a new range of black screw-top centrifuge tubes which will solve this problem for many users, providing secure storage of…
