INTEGRA has prepared an explanatory application guide that demonstrates the benefits of its electronic adjustable tip spacing VOYAGER II pipette range in transferring liquid samples between different labware formats.
Many laboratory applications require liquid transfers between various labware formats. Due to varying requirements in their sample processing, different labware vessels are typically used for sample storage, processing and analysis tasks. Traditional multichannel pipettes were not designed to accommodate the wide variety of labware formats used today because their tip to tip spacing is optimized for use with standard 96-well microplates....

Read MoreIndependent Scientific Reports Evaluate Air Versus Water CondensersAug 22, 2016
New scientific evaluations from the Department of Chemistry, University of Uppsala (Sweden) and the Australian National University (Canberra) report on their testing of the performance of the Asynt CondenSyn air condenser versus traditional water-driven condensers and an alternative commercial air condenser in “real-world” laboratory conditions.
Synthesis labs are aware that water-driven condensers use a large amount of water which is wasteful / expensive and offer the possibility of leaks from the condenser which can result in flooding thus are keen to find an alternative. In the two independent reports the Asynt CondenSyn air condenser displayed comparable performance to even the most efficient water-driven condensers and outperformed...
