Microscopy means many things to many different laboratories. One constant remains beyond the dizzying array of choices: constant technologic improvement based on the confluence of diverse technologies.

Pipetting is part of nearly every laboratory’s workflow. Yet this established technology continues to undergo improvements, most related to usability and consistency.

For all its maturity and secure establishment in chemical analysis, predicting the future of gas chromatography is an exercise in uncertainty.

Across research laboratories and industrial manufacturing facilities, many processes must be kept at a specific temperature, and that requires baths and chillers.

In a 2012 report, Global Industry Analysts in San Jose, California forecast a growing market for carbon dioxide (CO2) incubators. That comes as no surprise given this technology’s laundry list of applicable fields, which includes cell and tissue culture, protein synthesis, and much more.

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

Matching the machine to the task provides longer life and better results

New applications are being developed for homogenizers and are important in mixing suspensions, lotions, pastes, and dry-grinding solid materials.

As regulators have redefined environmental methods for low-abundance analytes, and demanded the analysis of more analytes, column manufacturers have done well to provide greater sensitivity and selectivity.

Electronic Laboratory Notebooks (ELNs) play crucial roles in most kinds of science and much of the R&D in industry—from agrochemicals and cosmetics to food and beverage.
