In 2023, the 5910Ri and 5427R Eppendorf centrifuges became the first centrifuges worldwide to receive the ACT label. The ACT label resembles a nutrition label, showing how products rate in various sustainability categories. The 5427R centrifuge now uses a hydrocarbon cooling liquid, propane, in place of the hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) to reduce HFCs environmental impact. This blog covers the cha...
When it comes to sewage treatment, effluent testing is crucial in ensuring the quality of discharged wastewater. By performing regular tests, you can monitor the effectiveness of your sewage treatment process and ensure compliance with effluent standards. This blog will cover an overview of the importance of effluent testing, the methods involved, and the standards governing sewage effluent.

Camlab are a small organisation, meaning we have a limited ability to dramatically affect our emissions, but we are very efficient and have looked at several ways to reduce our emissions. Reduce greenhouse gas emissions for climate change and sustainable development Emissions Camlab have been working on reducing our emissions since 2013.
Testing of ground and surface water is a key part of routine testing for water companies. Depending on the need, a number of different parameters are often assessed. The Horiba LAQUA range has a meter specifically designed for this type of analysis.
The U-50 series of multi-parameter meters enables the simultaneous measurement and monitoring of up to 11 parameters with one ...
A climate chamber (also known as a test chamber, humidity chamber and environmental chamber) is used to simulate a range of environmental conditions. They are widely used in lifespan and stability tests across multiple industry types including pharmaceutical, cosmetics and aeronautical engineering. Memmert offer a comprehensive range of climate chambers, with different test parameters such as ...
Turbidity is a measure of the cloudiness of water and is used as a key water quality indicator. This can then be used to quantify the amount of particles disrupting light passing through a liquid. For example, muddy water has a lot of small soil particles. This disrupts light going through it and makes it very cloudy and turbid. However spring water tends not to have many particles in and so is...
The Telescoop sampling system by Burkle is a environmental and water sampling dipper system that comes in two parts - a telescopic rod and a sampling tool/attachment. This makes it highly versatile with many combinations of rod and attachment. To make up the complete system you need to separately buy a suitable rod and appropriate sampling attachment. Should you need to change either part, then...
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 ...
The DR1900 by Hach is a portable spectrophotometer with over 220 pre-programmed test methods, accepting the Hach and the Lange chemistry. It is rugged and has a large, clear screen, with easy to use navigation, making it great for use in the field. [caption id="attachment_15657" align="aligncenter" width="300"] The DR1900 portable spectrophotometer[/caption] The DR1900 will accept the followi...
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...
The DR900 by Hach is a robust, portable colorimeter, capable of performing many dozens of different tests, supporting the Hach chemistry type. It can accept a number of different sizes cuvettes/samples cells – 1 inch round sample cells 1cm sample cells 16mm COD/TNT vials [caption id="attachment_15641" align="aligncenter" width="300"] Hach DR900 colorimeter[/caption] Every Hach method c...
The DR300 by Hach is a robust, portable single parameter colorimeter. It is the follow on from the Pocket colorimeter II which has been discontinued for most parameters - offering improved waterproofing, a large display and ergonomic design combined with optional Bluetooth and system integration. This unit is available in two formats – a single wavelength (either 500, 528, 600, 655nm) or pre-pr...
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...
