The Brix scale is used to measure the sugar content of food and beverages which is useful to know when evaluating the quality of produce. This can be useful for checking produce to see if its ripe enough before harvesting. This meter can be used to measure fruits, jams, pastes, juices and more.

Pipettes are used to transfer specific volumes of solutions from one place to another. These are used mainly in analytical and microbiology, cell biology, DNA analysis, PCR etc, where small volumes are used. Pipettes can come in fixed volumes or as variable volume so you can set the desired volume. Variable volume pipettes come in a particular volume range.

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.

DPD tablets (diethyl-p-phenylenediamine) are used to determine chlorine in water and can also be used to test bromine, iodine and other disinfectants. These tablets come in four different types and are used alone or in combination, depending on your measurement parameter. The convenience of using a rapid version is that it dissolves quickly but is used as a visual test only.

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...
What is Suspended Solids?
[caption id="attachment_2055" align="alignleft" width="313"] Suspended solids[/caption]
Suspended solids refers to small solid particles which remain in suspension in water. It is used as one indicator of water quality, typically for wastewater applications and is used as part of the Charging system for trade effluent in the UK using the Mogden formula.
It is ...
Silt Density Index (SDI) is a test used to determine the levels of colloidal and particulate suspended solids in the feedwater to reverse osmosis (RO) systems. This in turn will enable you to estimate the fouling potential. This measurement is of importance as it can be used to predict the lifetime of the RO membrane. This can help save time and money. It is measured following the test...
Oxidation reduction potential (ORP) otherwise known as a REDOX potential measures an aqueous system’s capacity to either release or accept electrons from chemical reactions. When a system tends to accept electrons it is an oxidizing system. Conversely, when it tends to release electrons, it is a reducing system. Like pH, it is not a measure of a concentration directly, but of an activity level....
Palintest have announced that the ChloroSense, ChlordioXense, ChlordioX Plus, ChloroSense HR and PAASense units have been discontinued and have been replaced by the Kemio. The Kemio is a multi-parameter next generation instrument capable of measuring chlorine (free and total), chlorine dioxide, chlorite and peracetic acid (PAA) in water. You can read our post on the feature of the Kemio here.Â

The FOS/TAC ratio is a commonly used indicator for assessing the fermentation process within biogas reactors, where FOS is a measure of the volatile organic acids (measured in mg CH3COOH/l) and is TAC is a measure of the total inorganic carbon i.e. the alkaline buffer capacity of the system (measured in mg CaCO3/l). In simple terms, this ratio looks at acid vs alkaline in the system which helps...

This has a high importance in the livestock industry as colostrum milk is a...
Flame photometers function on principle of atomic excitation and de-excitation followed by light emission to measure the levels of particular elements (including K, Na, Li, Ca and Ba). Over particular ranges, the intensity of the light emission is directly proportional to the number of atoms of that type present in the sample. Also known as flame atomic emission spectroscopy, it is a branch of ...
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...
