Lab Necessities

In most labs where pipetting operations are regularly conducted, certain analysis and operations involve challenging liquids. These liquids may be viscous, light-sensitive, or possess fluorescent properties. It is also likely that the operations may involve handling of fluids under strict conditions or be corrosive or dangerous if it meets skin or other surfaces. In such cases, pipetting becomes a challenge. Nevertheless, it is possible with due care and proper preparation. Tips to pipette fluids of varying density and samples that require high precision results If the density of a liquid is very low, as in the case of PCR reagents, pipetting can be performed efficiently with narrow orifice tips. Along with an extended tip support, the addition of an extra narrow tip will improve the reproducibility of the results. Standard tips of 10uL will work fine with liquids that have densities similar to that of water. In certain lab operations, high precision and reproduc

A scientific research environment needs absolute precision.   These research activities require absolute and accurate measurements of different factors such as temperature, timing and weight. The use of modern technology in manufacturing various testers and measurement devices have led to authentic products like analytical weighing scales, digital thermometers and other measuring instruments that give precise and absolute readings. Analytical balances are the sought-after devices for scientific research purposes. These balances are very accurate and show readings up to seven decimal places. Such accurate readings are very essential for success of an experiment. Along with being accurate, analytical balances are also functional. These balances are able to read the weight of the samples and show minor dispersions on the scale platforms as well. The most important feature of RADWAG analytical balance is its zeroing capability. An ideal balance should take less than five secon

The United States Pharmacopeial Convention 857 or USP 857 necessitates that all equipment imported into the USA by pharmaceutical companies in the country should mandatorily satisfy their set of requirements. This mandate was established and brought into play on 1st May 2016 and continues to affect all vendors in this field of operation. The USP 857 standards contain very specific criteria for verification of wavelength accuracy and photometric accuracy of concerned equipments. There are also new requirements suggested for spectral resolutions and stray light which wasn't present previously. Apart from this, they have also laid out very specific requirements for filters for each verification that is conducted. These USP requirements are more in tandem with International Pharmacopeial requirements. All new and existing laboratories in the USA are expected to conform to these new set standards and actively involve in testing these changes which are now recognized officially.
