The application of instruments and strategies to reduce the sample prep blank is often called the application of Clean Chemistry techniques. Learn the factors impacting blank quality, in particular when microwave digestion is used, and about some Clean Chemistry products and technologies designed to help the analyst generate superior analytical data.

The TOC-L Series features a wide sample range from 4 µg/L to 30,000 mg/L.

Low-temperature laboratory freezers can achieve temperatures of about -40° C or lower. 

The latest equipment, instrument and system introductions to the laboratory market.

Over the past year, the trends in portable instrumentation that we first explored in July 2010 have continued to progress, with devices getting smaller, faster, and more powerful as demand for portability remains high.

In the late 1970s and early 1980s, the increased availability and reduced cost of electronic air velocity sensors made sensor-based feedback loops a viable solution for biosafety cabinet manufacturers.

SPECTRO Analytical Instruments, a leading supplier of analytical instruments for optical emission and XRF spectrometry, has introduced the next-generation SPECTRO xSORT handheld energy dispersive X-ray fluorescence (EDXRF) spectrometer.

The latest equipment, instruments and system introductions to the laboratory market.

Of all the factors contributing to the performance of a pipette, the most critical are the skill and expertise of the operator.

Chromatin states can influence transcription directly by altering the packaging of DNA to allow or prevent access to DNA-binding proteins, or they can modify the nucleosome surface to enhance or impede recruitment of effector protein complexes.

The function of molecular diagnostics is to analyze the composition of a patient’s genetic makeup in order to reveal any potential predispositions of that individual to specific diseases. Identifying these biomarkers can allow treatment options to be outlined that are likely to be effective in particular patients and not in others.

As a result of automation in the pharmaceutical industry, large compound libraries for future analysis and screening for potential drug candidates are routinely created. Alongside an increase in chemical compound samples, the number of biological sam
