Acquaint Yourself With the Main Categories of Lab Supplies

There are many different types of science lab supplies. Depending on what type of science you are studying, what type of experiments you are testing, and what you want to own in your own collection - you will need to be equipped with differing supplies.
Some of the main supplies that can be categorized and organized […]

The Essence of Human Development

Human Biology was founded at the Stanford University in 1970. It is considered as an interdisciplinary field of medicine, nutrition, biological anthropology and biology, focusing in humans. It can be associated with primate biology as well as several other fields.
Human development, on the other hand, deals with the process of growing to maturity. Biologically, […]

Lighting Specification Glossary Of Terms (Part 1)

Every industry has its own special vocabulary that outsiders don’t understand. But in the lighting field, the technical lingo is sometimes confusing if not incomprehensible even to lighting industry insiders.
In a never ending battle to promote the advantages and technical superiority of their products, manufacturers are increasingly turning their efforts to enhancing ad copy […]

Introduction to Vinylcarbazole - Properties and Synthesis

Vinylcarbazole has been used in research labs since the early 1920’s. When produced from non-coal tar sources it is found to be most pure and typically is a more white/off-white crystalline material that melts at 65-67 degrees Celsius. The final monomer has good solubility in polar organic, aromatic, and chlorinated solvents, with only minimal solubility […]

Why Is Amino Acid Analysis Useful?

Amino acid analysis refers to a variety of methodologies which are used to determine the amino acid content of peptides, proteins and other samples. Amino acids, of course, are organic compounds which contain an amino group and a carbolic acid group as well as any of many possible side groups. These side groups are […]

How Gel Dryers Are Used In the Laboratory

There are a variety of different gel dryer units which are commercially available for different gel drying applications in the laboratory. The exact drying methods used differ depending on the nature and size of the gels involved.
Polyacrylamide gels of standard size can be dried by oven-like air drying systems, while gels containing corrosive […]

Is Sieve Certification A Snare, A Delusion Or Both?

Sieving in its most elemental definition is the separation of fine material from coarse material by means of a meshed or perforated surface. The technique was used as far back as the early Egyptian days as a way to size grains. In order to understand sieving today, it is essential to examine the definition […]

What is Induction Lighting?

Induction lighting is an emerging technology that is energy efficient and environmentally friendly. Many of the larger induction lighting fixtures now house lamps of up to 400W in power.
These, along with smaller, self ballasted induction lamps, wireless and remote controlled dimmable functions, motion sensor integration capability, and an extensive array of customized fixtures represent […]

Why Chromatography Is An Important Technique In The Lab

Chromatography analysis is used to determine the presence and concentration of analytes in a sample.
Chromatography refers to a set of laboratory methods and techniques for the separation of mixtures. It involves passing a mixture that dissolved in a mobile phase through a medium known as the stationary phase. This separates the […]

When Is HPLC Analysis Used In The Laboratory

HPLC analysis (high performance liquid chromatography) is a variety of chromatography which is often used in biochemistry and analytical chemistry laboratories whose purpose is to identify, separate and quantify compounds in a sample.
The method is a type of column chromatography using a column which contains a chromatographic packing known as the stationary phase, a […]
