Low-temperature laboratory freezers will achieve temperatures of -40°C to -85°C, much lower than their kitchen-based counterparts.

A Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS) serves as the interface to a laboratory’s data, instruments, analyses and reports.

The question of limited access or general access to laboratory goods and services applies to a range of instruments, utilities, and competencies.

Turning a sample into a suspension—the essence of homogenizing— occurs in a wide range of laboratory applications.

Glove boxes are specialty enclosures that allow tight control over experimental conditions. Sizes range from less than five to several hundred cubic feet.

If you’ve had to lug a tank of gas to an experiment station and secure it in place, you know the hassle and danger involved.

The technology behind visible light microscopes, the oldest true laboratory instruments, has not changed much in fundamental operation in 200 years.

Time-of-flight (TOF) mass spectrometry (MS) works by imparting equal energies to all fragments. Since smaller particles thereby travel faster, their masses are determined by how quickly they travel from the source to the detector.  

Integration is the main reason for the virtual disappearance of the specialist GC or MS supplier that produces chromatographs for someone else’s mass detector, and vice versa.

Find what you need to know when buying a mass spectrometer and what our readers had to say about their MS instruments in our latest survey.

One of the primary safety devices in laboratories where chemicals are used is the laboratory fume hood.

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