There are many features of a high performance UV/Vis spectrophotometer to consider before making your final purchase. This guide will assist you in short-listing a few models by examining three main selection criteria.

Leading Change

By: Ronald B. Pickett Published: May 7 2010

A change in behavior, in attitude or in lifestyle is not easy to achieve, and some seem near impossible. However, the change process can be understood, and change can be implemented more successfully and more reliably by following a few rules.

Maintaining Sample Viability

By: Lab Manager Magazine Published: May 7 2010

Problem: Screw cap tubes are found in the vast majority of laboratories and are commonly used for the long-term storage and cryopreservation of a plethora of sample types. Effectively maintaining sample integrity in these storage environments is of e

Managing Obsolescence

By: Wayne Collins Published: May 7 2010

One of the best approaches for proactively managing obsolescence is to develop and maintain a multiyear capital plan that explicitly designates a specific portion for instrument replacement each year.

Managing the Coming Data Flood

By: John K. Borchardt Published: May 7 2010

Lab managers will face an increasing challenge in the next decademanaging a rising tide of data. To realize the full benefit and value of these diverse and voluminous data requires effective data management techniques, institutional arrangements, an

Measuring Sample Volume and Detecting Precipitates

By: Lab Manager Magazine Published: May 7 2010

Problem: Significant time and effort is expended in screening chemical and biological sample libraries. However, no matter how advanced the screening system, the end results are only as good as the quality of the sample in the microplate wells.

Perspective On: An Environmental Lab

By: Sara Goudarzi Published: May 7 2010

Q is for Quality

By: Bernard Tulsi Published: May 7 2010

Despite the vigilance of federal, state and local regulators and of accreditation organizations that evaluate and certify laboratories, the development and maintenance of quality in laboratories are constant concerns.

Raman Spectroscopy: Stepchild of Vibrational Spectroscopy Comes of Age

By: Angelo DePalma, Ph.D Published: May 7 2010

Raman spectroscopy is based on the interaction of visible, near-infrared, or near-ultraviolet light on chemical bonds. When excited with light energy, bonds experience short-lived, higher-energy vibrational states.
