Problem: Mass spectrometry (MS) has become an indispensible technology for the analysis of compounds of biological interest, is widely available and offers rapid and accurate detection with broad applicability.

The environmental safety and food production industries are facing a rapidly changing climate, being increasingly affected by regulatory and financial pressures.

With the invention of the centrifuge came the problem of rotor balance. Specimen containers must be properly sized and properly located on the rotor to provide rotor balance each and every cycle.

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.

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.

Lab Analytics is information about the utilization of assets in the lab, including people, equipment, supplies and samples.

Popular 96- and 384-well microplate-based applications are often not ideally suited for manual pipetting methods. Although readily available in most laboratories, manual pipette use in these formats is neither efficient nor consistent.

Automation solutions offer a great alternative to laborintensive manual processes. Liquid handling automation eliminates human errors and process inconsistencies over extended periods of time, resulting in an increased robustness compared to manual processes.

The Thermo Scientific iCAP 6000 Series ICP-OES and Thermo Scientific iTEVA Software are ideal for the analysis of trace elements in pharmaceutical products.

Rather than simply purchasing a gas chromatograph, lab managers can choose from over 200 analyzers or pre-configured gas chromatographs designed to comply with specific ASTM, UOP, EN or GPA standard methods.
