FlowChrom from TESTA Analytical is an automated non-invasive, real-time monitoring system providing a continuous digital record of your HPLC system performance. While most HPLC and UHPLC are designed to operate 24/7, it is common for issues to arise when liquid chromatography systems are left unattended. In many instances, it is then difficult to understand what the source of the operating problem was and to determine when it occurred and how many HPLC separations were affected and must therefore be repeated...
Bio-aerosols aren’t welcome in any laboratory. They can consist of bacteria, cell fragments, fungal spores or viruses, as well as byproducts of microbial metabolism. Aerosols are easily generated in various concentrations during simple routine tasks in the laboratory, such as centrifugation, pipetting or shaking. For this reason, Eppendorf has taken another detailed look at the risk of contamination during pipetting and put their filter pipette tips to the test once again...
