Demand for trace metals analysis in the environmental laboratory is growing strongly due to stricter  environmental regulations. ICP has previously been the standard for metals analysis, but as demand for lower detection levels grows, labs are experiencing a significant transition to ICP-MS. This transition is placing increased emphasis on the sample preparation method.

Labconco Corporation has combined its patented fully-featured Protector Hood design with Erlab’s GreenFumeHood (GFH) Technology to deliver a multi-use fume hood that requires no ducting. The Protector Echo delivers safety, energy savings, and adaptability to ever-changing laboratory spaces.

In today’s era of cell culture experimentation and production, scientists rely on a tightly controlled, decontaminated environment within their CO₂ incubators to precisely simulate the in vivo conditions from which mammalian cells originate. While designing the PHC cellIQ™ CO₂ incubator, we  implemented cutting edge technology to address key concerns and provide effective solutions for  problems during daily culturing operations. The cellIQ™ was designed with your experiments in mind, so that precision of our incubator ensures precision in your data.

Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) is a method of determining the identity of an item using radio  frequency communication. RURO’s FreezerPro® RFID edition software creates a unique ID number for each laboratory vial (or box, or freezer) and associates the number with sample information and location. 

Dieter C. Gruenert, PhD, (bottom left) is a professor of otolaryngology—head and neck surgery at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) and pediatrics at the University of Vermont (UVM). He has a PhD in biophysics from the University of California at Berkeley and was a postdoctoral fellow in carcinogenesis at L’Institut Suisse de Recherche Expérimentale sur le Cancer in Lausanne. He was co- director of the Gene Therapy Core Center at UCSF, director of the Division of Human Molecular Genetics at  UVM, and head of the Stem Cell Research Program at California Pacific Medical Center. His research focuses on development of gene editing and cell-based therapies for inherited diseases and cancer. He has developed novel diagnostic and oligonucleotide-based therapeutic strategies to ameliorate disease pathology.

Problem: U.S. food testing labs are closely monitoring discussions over proposed legislation regarding food safety. This year, lawmakers could approve more stringent safety standards. That means food laboratories will be looking for efficient and affordable equipment to help them adhere to regulations.

Understanding "How It's Made Matters" was the tenet around which the Helmer Scientific Ultra-Low Freezer was designed and developed.  Care was taken to focus on each aspect of the product to ensure that every component works together to create an optimized system that instills confidence in the user.

Prior Scientific has published a new 12-page catalogue that brings together its range of high performance LED and metal halide light sources proven to provide the best possible illumination for your microscopy work.

Lab glassware washers offer an excellent solution for laboratories that need to clean dirty labware including beakers, test tubes, Erlenmeyer flasks, cylinders, and BOD bottles. Technicians may be unsure whether dirty plasticware can also be cleaned in a glassware washer, leading them to hand wash the equipment which can be extremely time consuming. Lisa Choplo, Application Specialist at Miele Professional, addresses the most common concerns users have about cleaning plastics in a glassware washer.

In 2014 the State of California was in the midst of an unprecedented drought with a big drive from the State of California University Office of the President to save water.
