Cryopreservation is a process where biological materials such as cells, tissues or organs are frozen to preserve the materials for an extended period of time.
Vortex mixers are mainly used to mix samples in tubes, plates and occasionally flasks by creating a vortex within the sample. Vortex mixers come with different accessories to enable it to mix samples of different sizes or multiple samples at once. For more information about vortex mixers please see this blog here

A vortex mixer is a piece of laboratory equipment that is used in the rapid mixing of samples. This type of mixer has a small footprint with a high rpm. Vortex mixers can be used in any laboratory but is mainly used in microbiology, biochemical, bioscience, and analytical laboratories. Vortex mixers mainly mix samples/reagents but they can also be used to suspend cells.

The basic principles of a circulating chiller is that a temperature of a system or object is governed by the heat flow into it and the heat flow out of it. There are a lot of heat sources electrical, mechanical, radiation, or chemical etc. that enter into systems that need to be overcome to maintain a constant temperature. Typically when is cooling needed? Want to keep a sample/syste...
Using the right water in your water bath will help to avoid corrosion and give the bath a longer life.
We've taken a look at selecting suitable water to make sure your bath stays clean, free from corrosion and reliable.

Ultrasonic baths are a great way to clean items or to dissolve solids into solvents fast.
If you are concerned that your ultrasonic bath may be dropping in performance, you can perform a quick foil test (also known as the "foil ablation test") to check it.

Water baths are an excellent way to maintain samples at a set temperature, though when they are run at high temperatures or for long periods of time the water will of course evaporate.
If the bath runs dry this will not only mean your samples are out of temperature, but it can also damage the bath.
There are several things you can do to ensure this does not happen.

Maintaining a constant temperature is vital in many processes to ensure consistency and safety. This can be difficult in a laboratory environment.
Cooling systems might be used to keep a reaction or piece of equipment below room temperature. They are also employed to remove excess heat generated by the system to give a constant temperature which might be at, or even above, the room temperature...
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...

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...
