Product Focus: Power Supplies

Almost every piece of equipment—from a computer to an oscilloscope and beyond—uses a power supply. Scientists expect power supplies to keep going and going. Luckily, most of them do. Those power plants inside devices, though, come in a wide assortment.

Product Focus: Freeze Dryers

by Mike May, PhD
The use of freeze dryers extends from applications in academic labs to zoos. Moreover, this technology contributes to basic research and manufacturing.

Product Focus: Lab Washers

by Mike May, PhD
A lab washer provides convenience, saves water and energy, and provides many more options for cleaning. In fact, the options just keep growing.

Power Supplies

Since standard laboratory equipment contains its own individually-designed power supplies that plug into standard electrical outlets, many labs rarely use external power supplies—mostly for specialty applications, instrument testing, and design. OEM power supplies operate steadily and predictably at one output inside equipment, instruments, and computers. By contrast, low- and medium-voltage programmable supplies are designed for applications—particularly in testing, measurement, and instrument design— where users might require 12V one day and 5V the next.

Product Focus: Chillers

by Mike May, PhD
Many labs use chillers to control the cooling needed for some processes. To make the device work, a chiller uses a fluid, and the best kind of fluid depends on a range of factors. Part of the selection process depends on lab preferences. This article explores some of the thinking behind picking one chiller fluid over another.

Product Focus: Casework

by Mike May, PhD
More than just surfaces and storage, today’s laboratory casework makes a statement. For one thing, the right casework makes a lab operate more efficiently—putting the right drawers or shelves in the most at-hand places. In addition, casework can even keep track of pieces and parts in a lab. Plus, today’s options in cases—from materials to colors—give scientists an opportunity to create a lab with pizzazz.

Product Focus: Fume Hoods

by Angelo DePalma, PhD
Fume hoods are notorious for consuming expensive resources, particularly electricity and conditioned air that is vented to the environment along with volatile chemicals and other toxins.
