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....
Q: I need to send shipments overseas, but need to make sure that they have not been temperature abused during shipping. How can I prove to my customers that the goods have stayed within temperature while in transit? A: As you're sending the goods out to customers you need a datalogger which is low cost and easy to use - I would recommend the Ebro EBI330 loggers. [caption id="attachment_75...
Thermometers are used in most laboratories across all industries, and a wide range are available to suit any temperature monitoring task. For high accuracy applications that need to adhere to international standards, traditional glass specification thermometers are still the most popular choice.

Starter kits are a great option to make sure that everything you need to get started is included in one box, making it easy for you to begin work quickly. We are big fans of starter kits, from our COD starter package to our vacuum filtration starter kit so we're glad to hear that Stuart's Undergrad hotplate stirrer units are now available as a kit which includes the SCT1 controller and all t...
Building on the popularity of the IC25 programmable heating and chilling block heater (also known as a dry bath), 2 new models with extended temperature ranges are now available. The new models extend the temperature ranges, so setting from -20°C to +100°C or from -10°C to +110°C is now possible [caption id="attachment_6893" align="aligncenter" width="300"] The IC25 block heater chiller -...
Infrared thermometers measure the temperature from the thermal radiation being emitted by an object. They are used to serve a wide variety of temperature monitoring functions such as calibrating oven temperatures or checking mechanical equipment for hotspots. In order to gain an accurate reading there are some key factors to consider - watch the video below to find out more. [embed]https:/...
Mercury is a naturally occurring element found in the air, water and soil however exposure to the substance, even in small amounts, can lead to severe health and ecosystem issues. Mercury in products can find its way into the environment in all sorts of ways such as manufacturing, spills, recycling and disposal. Due to the health risks posed products such as mercury-containing thermometers are...
