Glove Boxes: Isolation or Containment Without Classified Space
Glove boxes are enclosed, controlled-environment chambers that serve as isolation or containment spaces for laboratory work. Most glove boxes operate in isolation mode, under positive pressure, to protect samples or experiments from the environment.

How It Works
Ultrasonication of Single-Walled Carbon Nanotubes
Problem: Single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) differ from multiwalled carbon nanotubes by their electric properties. The band gap of SWCNTs can vary from zero to 2 eV and their electric conductivity features metallic or semiconducting behavior. As
Lab Analytics for the Whole Lab
Lab Analytics is information about the utilization of assets in the lab, including people, equipment, supplies and samples.
Multiplex Testing to Conserve Sample
Problem: As more analytes are discovered, more tests are required per biological sample for drug discovery, research analysis and diagnostic testing. However, an unlimited amount of sample is never available.
Bacterial Culturing for Faster Microbe Detection
Problem: When it comes to bacterial culturing, modern laboratories have little choice but to wait days for definitive proof that bacteria are alive and pose a health threat. Labs typically wait 18 to 24 hours for E.coli and Listeria cultures to grow,
