When working with measuring and transferring a liquid, there are many options to select from. Pipettes and dispensers can come in different shapes, types and sizes. Choosing the correct liquid handling device can seem confusing. Here we will help you in making an informed decision.
Measurement of liquid
First, you want to decide is the volume you are working with small or large. In this ...
Most labs will need to sterilise liquid solutions. Media, agar, saline, water and lysogeny broth to name a few, but how should you do this in an autoclave?
An Autoclave liquid cycle is used to avoid the phenomenon known as "boil-over". This is when a liquid boils so violently it spills over the top of the container. This can occur if the pressure in your autoclave chamber is released too qui...
Whether you work with millilitres or litres, liquids should always be handled with care and can present a range of hazards if they are handled badly.
There are a few key aspects that should be considered when manipulating or pouring liquids - we've explored the main risks and what controls can be put in place to make your work safer.
