Steam sterilization in autoclaves is used - especially in biological and medical laboratories - to inactivate natural or genetically modified microorganisms. However, during the heat-up phase, in which air is removed from the pressure vessel, biological agents can potentially escape into the work area as aerosols.This means that exhaust air filtration is extremely important, especially in light of the current coronavirus epidemic....
Porvair Sciences announces a special version of its popular Homogeniser Spin Column optimised for RNA extraction from buccal swabs. A large number of current COVID-19 diagnostic tests are reliant on detection of viral RNA from buccal swabs by PCR.

A double door, or pass-through autoclave provides a pathway for objects into a room. Anything entering or leaving via this portal is sterilised. This is especially useful when either trying to keep biologically hazardous materials inside or out of a room. However, not all pass-through autoclaves are equal. Let’s have a look at some of the features you should consider when purchasing a pass-through autoclave...
The latest range of Purite ECO water purification units, available from SUEZ Water Purification Systems, is designed to minimise the volume of water and energy used by laboratories. Depending on water usage, the new compact system can reduce operating costs by over £100 per month; where multiple Purite units are in use this saving can quickly become substantial.
Honeywell’s story began more than 200 years ago when German chemist Johann Daniel Riedel successfully manufactured pharmaceutical products. While the world has changed greatly since then, Honeywell have remained committed to providing the highest quality chemicals through innovative and cutting-edge manufacturing processes. Honeywell offer a wide range of Research Chemicals under their own brands...
