Cytiva have collaborated with TerraCycle to recycle filtration devices to help reduce how much ends up in landfills. TerraCycle was started in 2001 to help eliminate waste by making worm poop plant food from leftover food waste, and then was packaged in waste such as used soda bottles. Since 2001 TerraCycle has prevented over 8 billion pieces of waste ending up in landfills.

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...
Selecting the right filter for your lab filtration will help to ensure you get the desired results.
After considering whether you need vacuum or gravity filtration, you then need to select a suitable filter material and size.
[caption id="attachment_9504" align="aligncenter" width="300"] With so many types and sizes of filter paper available, make sure you choose the right one for the tas...
Suspended solids tests are conducted as a water purity indicator, and to form part of discharge consent. The gravimetric method of suspended solids testing requires filter papers to be used, but these must be of the correct grade to ensure correct results.
We've taken a look at which filter paper grades are approved for suspended solids tests.
Which filter paper should I u...
Syringe filtration is a great, quick method of filtering samples prior to further analysis by HPLC, UV-VIS analysis or other analytical techniques.
Some samples which have a high amount of solid particulates in them can block up syringe filters, slowing down the process.
GE Whatman have designed two specialist syringe filter ranges with a clever filter structure which aims to combat this,...
If hazardous waste is mismanaged it has the potential to cause harm to the environment and human health. As a result, strict controls apply from the point of its production, to its movement, management and disposal. Most common labs are home to at least one fume hood or controlled storage cabinet fitted with carbon filters. By trapping and binding harmful chemical vapours these filters are k...

When performing experiments requiring detection of more than one fluorophore, it is highly desirable for minimal overlap in signal from each dye. Whilst the choice of fluorophore used is important, the design of the optics for samp...

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...
