When discussing laboratory balances, accuracy and readability are common terms that are used to understand the readings they give. Weighing uncertainty is an important factor, however it is less known and not as discussed. Uncertainty is a variable that can be measured. It is essential, especially for calibration laboratories. It can be useful for the comparison of results from experiments car...
There are many options out there when it comes to laboratory balances. Other than the maximum capacity, one of the main differences you may have seen between balances is their readability. The term readability is often used interchangeably with terms like repeatability (precision) and accuracy. However, they each have different definitions that are important when trying to understand the differ...
Many tasks in the lab rely on accurate liquid volume measurement using a micropipette.
To keep the pipette accurate it should be stored properly - we've taken a look at how pipettes should be stored, and why.
[caption id="attachment_11217" align="aligncenter" width="201"] Micropipettes are used in most labs - store them carefully to keep them accurate[/caption]
How to store micropipe...
A huge range of tests in the laboratory require the use of volumetric glassware such as bulb or volumetric pipettes, volumetric flasks, graduated cylinders and burettes, to accurately measure larger volumes of liquid. As this volume measurement is a critical part of the overall test the glassware should be considered for regular monitoring. [caption id="attachment_5129" align="aligncenter...
Do you work in the field of research and are finding that your current pipette is not accurate or precise enough for your pipetting applicaton? Or you may be looking for a lightweight, soft pipette to reduce hand fatigue? Camlab recommend the Acura 826XS extra sharp micropipette from Socorex. So what makes this pipette different? Narrow Conical Shaft End Small diameter provides for eas...
Thanks for sharing such a great information.. It really helpful to me.. I always search to read the quality content and finally i found this in you post. keep it up!
I came across your article about "DPD Tablets" on Camlab Info, and it's a valuable resource for anyone seeking information about water testing and analysis using DPD tablets. Your explanation of their usage and significance in water quality monitoring is quite informative.
This article on nanocolor tube tests is a gem for analytical enthusiasts. The idea of zero calibration is intriguing, and your detailed explanation makes it accessible. The step-by-step process helps demystify the technique for beginners like me. The use cases you've highlighted, particularly in...
Grant have introduced the new Controlled Rate Freeze Thaw (CRFT), which is a liquid nitrogen and cryogen free controlled rate freeze and thaw system for cryopreservation in a wide range of applications. Cryopreservation is a process where biological materials such as cells, tissues...
A dipslide is a means of testing the microbial content of liquids. This is a common method of monitoring and measuring microbial activity within many systems and commonly cooling systems. Usually the use of a dipslide is the first line of defence for the testing of microbial issues that could be...
Purchasing items using donated funds without the burden of VAT will now save many Millions of pounds each year which can be put to better use in advancing scientific knowledge to provide new treatments and cures that will shape the medicines of the future.
Working with pressure/vacuum conditions in the lab is common but not all products are designed to withstand this. Products with appropriate geometry and wall thickness are suitable for working safely with pressure. For example, filtering flasks, desiccators, or flat flange vessels, as well as...
