Revolutionizing Laboratory Efficiency: The Power of Benchtop Centrifuges Nowadays, small laboratories must function quickly as well as save on space to successfully operate diagnostic tests and research. This is where benchtop centrifuges are small but powerful; these smart tools are a necessary part of any medical or research application that employs the centrifugation process, especially in the case of the blood sample. Why Benchtop Centrifuges Are Essential The stand-out feature of   benchtop centrifuges is their very compact, very easily stowed-away layout which is perfect for any laboratory. Despite the tiny size, the units function incredibly well, giving a slew of features that streamline ease-of-use and the speed of the procedure. Up-to-date technology guarantees noiseless operation, absence of vibrations; meanwhile, the LED signage shows the information in a clear and easy-to-read manner. Security is at the forefront with automatic brakes on the system and transparen...

Micropipettes or pipettes, are instruments used to measure liquid ranging between volumes of 1-10000 µl and transfer it from one sample container to another. This is a basic liquid-handling instrument for almost all scientific laboratories. Types of Micropipettes There is no 1 way to classify micropipettes. It can vary in a number of ways. 1. Number of Channels Single Channel Micropipettes A single-channel micropipette has only 1 channel to aspirate and dispense the liquid. It means you can handle only one sample at a time. Multi-Channel Micropipettes Multi-channel micropipettes can handle 8, 12 or 16 samples in one go. It can attach multiple tips at the same time and you can get the work done faster especially if working in high-throughput labs. 2. Volume Adjustment Fixed Volume Micropipettes Here the volume a pipette can aspirate and dispense remains the same and you don’t have the option to adjust or choose between a range. They offer consistent and accurate results for repetitive p...

Like deciding what to wear for the day, walking into a laboratory means you have to choose the right pipette tips for your experiments. This is about precision in avoiding mistakes and contamination rather than personal preferences when working in a lab. There are various types of tips, each designed with a specific application in mind. Below is an ultimate guide on how to make sense of different kinds of pipette tips and their uses. 1. Non-Sterile vs. Sterile Tips Non-Sterile Tips: These can be used for general laboratory procedures where sterility is not necessary. Using non-sterile tips may save money if you are dealing with non-sensitive samples or performing routine tasks. Sterile Tips: Required when doing tests where contamination would lead to compromised results, such as in microbiology, molecular biology or clinical settings. Such tips are pre-sterilized and certified free from contaminants like RNase, DNase, endotoxins etc. Although it might seem appealing to autoclave non-s...

When it comes to media storage in laboratories, the choice of containers can significantly impact the integrity and safety of the stored materials. PETG bottles have emerged as a top choice for many laboratory professionals. In this blog, we’ll discuss the reasons behind their popularity and why they might be the perfect fit for your media storage needs. What are PETG Bottles? Polyethylene terephthalate glycol (PETG) bottles are a type of plastic container widely used in various industries, including the medical and scientific sectors. PETG is a thermoplastic polyester that offers excellent clarity, chemical resistance, and durability. These properties make PETG bottles ideal for storing a wide range of media, including solutions, reagents, and samples in laboratory settings. PETG bottles are known for their high transparency, making it easy for visual inspection of the contents. They are also lightweight and shatter-resistant, making them a safer alternative to glass bottles. Additio...
