Our world is becoming more environmentally aware with recycling being considered a necessity both domestically and commercially.
Anybody working in a laboratory that uses pipettes and tips knows how much waste tip racks produce, how expensive they are to dispose of and the amount of space these used racks can take up. For most labs the cost of running a recycling scheme can be prohibatory as they tend to be priced upon the weight of the plastic being recycled....

The HSE issued guidelines to help employers select the right type of protective glove for their particular situation. They realise that considering all possible implications in the decision can be a daunting task, and so they have provided 5 main factors that all employers should consider when choosing the right type of protective glove...
Markes International has announced the launch of a new technology for high-capacity sorptive extraction of organic chemicals from liquids and solids.
The new HiSorb product range includes probes and accessories that sorptively extract volatile and semi-volatile organic compounds (VOCs and SVOCs) for analysis by thermal desorption (TD)–GC–MS. They can be used for both immersive extraction from liquids, or headspace sampling from solids. “HiSorb will especially appeal to existing TD users looking to extend their capabilities”, says HiSorb Product Manager Dr Lara Kelly...
Quite often, generic pipette tips on a multichannel pipette resemble a mountain range rather than perfectly aligned tips.
The reason for misaligned tips lies in the widespread generic tip cone and tip fitting design as well as in the memory effect of the tip material, which gradually moves back to its original, non-stretched shape. Pipette tips not being perfectly level on a multichannel pipette are very likely to cause issues such as different immersion depths or faulty touch offs of individual tips, leading to negatively impacted pipetting results....

BBI Solutions has launched Morffi™,a novel conjugate blocking technology that enhances signal intensity and improves the sensitivity of lateral flow immunoassays, at the Lateral Flow Test Development seminar in Seattle, USA, on the 20th September.
The technology, developed in-house by BBI Solutions scientists, improves the limit of detection of an assay, providing an increase in sensitivity of up to ten times and a faster time to result. Lateral flow immunoassays (LFIs) rely on the specific interaction between the analyte of interest and an immobilised binding partner, such as an antibody, antigen or enzyme. To improve performance, a ‘blocking’ agent is bound to unoccupied conjugation sites on the...

Asynt has produced a new report that compares the thermal performance and advantages of vacuum jacketed versus non-vacuum jacketed reaction vessels.
Data is presented for vacuum jacketed and non-vacuum jacketed reaction vessels connected to a Julabo Presto A30 temperature control system. The report demonstrates that a vacuum jacketed vessel not only achieved faster rates of cooling but was also able to maintain a reaction at -20°C compared to just -15°C for the non-vacuum jacketed vessel. Beneficially, also using a vacuum jacketed vessel was shown to eliminate ice formation on the outside of the...
