What is a Muffle Furnace? Its Uses and Features in Industry

Image
Any industry needs several apparatuses to function correctly. One such apparatus which makes a massive difference in the industry's functionality is referred to as a ‘Muffle Furnace’. Now you can also buy muffle accessories , but before making the final purchase, ensure that you rely on the best manufacturers. Let us discuss it in detail. What Do you Mean by Muffle Furnace? Muffle furnaces are well-known devices that create an environment suitable for processing materials at high temperatures. Of course, this process is helpful in many areas, like glass manufacturing or metalworking. It is highly helpful in heating material to high temperatures while keeping it contained as well as fully isolated from external contaminants, chemicals or substances. The muffle furnace is a device that is used for the heat treatment of various materials. The main feature of the muffle furnace is the presence of a special compartment known as a muffle. It protects the workpiece from direct contact wit...

A Complete Guide About the Calibration Weights in Laboratories

Image
Calibration weights are perfectly suitable for balancing measuring instruments, scales, as well as balances. They are commonly seen in laboratories, manufacturing, as well as in shipping applications. In addition, they are mainstays in most laboratories as they help ensure that the lab balances provide you with accurate readings. However, they all are not made the same. The calibration weights are assigned a class based on the weight's accuracy. Moreover, there are different sets of weight classes, including ASTM, OIML, & NIST and there are certifications granted to different weights. Basically, these weights are used to check the scale's reading to ensure if it is still accurate. They are used when calibrating a scale. In this blog, we are going to discuss different classes of calibration weights, and we also see other factors to consider when purchasing weights. Important Classes of Weights NIST: NIST is referred to as the National Institute of Standards and Technology (...

A Brief Introduction of Pipets- Modes and Types

Image
A pipet is a laboratory equipment used to measure and transfer small quantities of liquid, usually milliliters (mL) or microliters from one container to another. Due to its transferring property, the transfer pipets are widely used in chemistry, medical sciences, molecular biology, and various experiments. The design of the pipet completely fulfills its efficiency in the working environment. Modes of Pipet Majorly, there are two modes of pipet used in the laboratories: Forward mode Reverse mode Forward Mode Forward mode is used for most aqueous solutions because it is more accurate and precise when it comes to providing better outcomes of laboratory work. In forward mode pipet, firstly, the plunger is pressed to the second stop by immersing the pipet tip in the sample. And then, the plunger is released to grasp the solution from the container. Finally, the complete solution is dispersed to its destination by pressing the plunger to the second stop. Reverse Mode The reverse mode of tra...

A Quick Overview about the Test Tube Brushes

Image
  Wondering if it’s  important to use test tube brushes to clean the test tubes?   This is one most common questions that strike our  minds.   There can be excessive liquid & chemical substances remaining in the test tube after performing experiments. Some lab technicians just wash test tubes with water which will not necessarily remove substances and later on, it can proves to be harmful. There can be some residues which may affect the accuracy of the future experiment. In fact, it may cause damage in some cases, that is why, it is important to use the Test Tube Brushes to clean the tubes deeply.   Test tube brushes are majorly used to clean test tubes in most chemical laboratories. There are many manufacturers who are known for manufacturing high-quality test tube brushes. So, there can be possibility that most of the manufacturers use a different kind of material to design the test tube brushes. In addition, there are some brushes which are man...

Briefly Describe the Muffle Furnace?

Image
A laboratory furnace is an ideal choice for heat treating, reacting studies, sintering processes, & ceramic firing. It is one of the essential laboratory furnaces which serves excellent usage. They are used to isolate the samples from the fuel & combustion to remove the contamination of the samples.  Muffle Furnaces are highly durable, reliable, & work well for various uses. They are the ideal choice for research and development, materials testing, quality control, heat treatment, and much more. There are many types of furnaces available in the market. So, people got confused while selecting the best them. All models of the Muffle Furnaces have an autotuned feature that allows the furnace to perform better functions whenever needed. The Basic Control Furnaces features a single LED display that toggles between actual & setpoint temperatures. The Single Set Point Control Furnaces consists of two LED displays that are used to display actual & setpoint temperatures...

How to Choose the Best Hazardous Waste Containers for your Laboratory?

Image
If your business produces hazardous waste, you should be aware of the importance of managing & storing wastes properly. This job must be done properly; otherwise, it may degrade the environment up to a much extent. Choosing the proper Hazardous Waste Containers to store & transport the wastes may be a challenging task. Before choosing the right containers, there are many things that you should consider. When selecting the container, one must consider whether the wastes are incompatible or reactive. This is because combining incompatible wastes is prohibited. If you keep the incompatible wastes separated, it helps prevent the wastes from reacting with each other. Thus, it will not create a fire, explosion, or maybe an unsafe condition. Ensure that the waste is not going to react with the container itself. Some wastes are highly corrosive. Thus, it may cause a reaction with a metal drum, which possibly causes the drum to fail & finally release the waste. Moreover, the Steel ...
