Running out of a specific solvent can cause your lab to come to a complete halt because solvents are an essential part of medical lab work. Inventory management can be a time-consuming task since the majority of medical labs use a variety of solvents. The chores can take a lot of time, from working with the purchasing department to ensure the suitable solvents are always accessible to disposing of solvent waste safely, ethically, and legally. While you may be aware that fractional distillation accessories and equipment can recycle solvents in your lab, you might not completely comprehend the advantages and practicalities of doing so. You might also believe that installing fractional distillation recyclers costs a lot of money and requires specific knowledge. Recycling solvent waste with fractional distillation equipment can save your lab time, money, and labor, and it is simple. For laboratories looking to develop more environmentally friendly procedures that better protect lab person...

What are Dosing Pumps and How It Works?

Image
Positive displacement pumps are dosing pumps that inject chemicals or other materials into the flow of water, gas, or steam. Small dosing pumps offer an exact flow rate for optimal control. They are the focal point of an integrated dosing system created for the chemical industry's autonomous chemical dispersion. The applications and industries covered by this definition of dosage span from food processing to wastewater treatment. How Does a Dosing Pump Work? A dosing pump sucks a specific volume of fluid into its chamber, injects the chemical into a tank or pipe containing the liquid to be dosed, and then repeats the process. It is driven by an electric motor or an air actuator, and it features a controller that handles the flow rate and spins the pump on and off. More advanced control mechanisms are featured in some versions. Parts of a Chemical Dosing System   A chemical dosing system consists of these parts: Chemical Container Injector Pump Dosing Line Control System Foot ...

5 Top Tips to Renovate Your Lab

Image
Are you in dire need of renovating your lab? Are you looking for the best ways to renovate your lab? Scientists and researchers do critical work in the labs, so they need updated facilities for the accurate results of their experiments. As we remain up-to-date according to the latest fashion in the same way, the laboratory needs to be up-to-date according to the current trends. Laboratory equipment such as  acrylic burets , test tubes, and jars also need to remain clean and clear so that there is no discrepancy in the experiment's results. To run an effective workroom, there are many factors to keep track of, from layout design to equipment. Most labs can benefit from typical renovations, while other facilities require particular considerations depending on their sector. Here are some useful suggestions for improving your lab. Find Out Your Pain Areas    The foremost step in constructing a reliable and effective restoration plan is identifying any possible weak points in ...

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...
