Camlab Blue Nitrile Powder Free Gloves When it comes to PPE, how certain are you that yours or your colleagues hands are protected against chemical, biological or other hazards? How do you know which gloves are likely to provide more protection than others? When it comes to selecting gloves, a simple place to start would be to look at the AQL (acceptable quality standard) rating.
What is SDI?
Silt Density Index (SDI) is a measure to assess the fouling in water purification systems from Suspended solids and colloidal materials. When it comes to reverse osmosis membranes, suspended solids within the water can cause problems. Then these levels get high, it can cause fouling of the membrane. This will lead to:
Increased cost for maintenance
Reduced lifetime
In...
Endecotts have moved to an automated production of their 200mm/8” stainless steel sieves. This will improve the quality of sieve reproducibility and shorter lead times. These new sieves are still compatible with the old style with all the same great features.
These include:
Sturdy frame – made from stainless steel to help reduce corrosion and makes the cleaning of the sieve easy.

There are many things that can influence the weighing accuracy of a balance. One aspect that can be overlooked are environmental influences. These typically include: temperature, humidity, air-flow, electrostatic charges and vibrations. Here we will outline how these factors may influence readings and possible solutions to overcome these.
Temperature
Fluctuating temperatures can influenc...
A moisture balance (also known as a moisture analyser) is an instrument that measures the moisture content of a sample. This is done by weighing the sample, then heating it to remove moisture and finally weighing the sample again. The final weight is subtracted from the starting weight and the difference in values is the moisture content. While easy to use, the setup and method development can...
Plastic is a material made from polymers that can be shaped and moulded for various uses. When looking for a product you need, you might notice things such as ‘PP’, ‘LDPE’ and many others in relation to plastic. These refer to the different forms of plastics, as each have different properties, making them better suited for certain products.
High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE)
This type of p...

There are many situations where weighing in the lab isn’t possible and measurements need to be taken in the field. In these cases, a portable balance is needed and there are various features to consider based on your application to achieve the most reliable results. Not all instruments are considered portable in the same way. These are the main features you need to consider when looking for a ...
When working with measuring and transferring a liquid, there are many options to select from. Pipettes and dispensers can come in different shapes, types and sizes. Choosing the correct liquid handling device can seem confusing. Here we will help you in making an informed decision.
Measurement of liquid
First, you want to decide is the volume you are working with small or large. In this ...
There are many ways to work with water to gain information about a selected sample, with a lot of options for equipment. Laboratory balances can be a great option to measure different properties with many different methods possible. To view our range of balances suitable for waste water analysis, click here.
Analytical balances for waste water analysis
Balances provide quantitative...
When collecting data, it is not always efficient to take samples back to a laboratory. Sometimes, weighing needs to be done in the field. This does pose many influencing factors on the measurements due to the different environment you are using your scales in. Here we will help you with your measurements out in the field and keep protected from the elements.
Precision balances and compact b...
