Sustainable laboratory practices are essential for safeguarding our environment, any future funding or support of laboratories, as well as improving the quality of our work. In this blog post, we
Safety is paramount when conducting chemical reactions under pressurised conditions. Yes, your department ordered a fabulous new pressure reactor that you’ve been itching to get your hands on – but
Recirculating coolers can have a significant impact on your water consumption but they can save you a lot of valuable space, and hard cash too! We break down the systems and the figures to give you all the information you need to fully consider your options.
Solvent evaporation occurs routinely in nature when water gains energy, often as heat, and transitions from a liquid state into a gaseous one. Thermal molecular agitation is what underlies this
Pilot-scale manufacturing is a valuable precursor to full-scale production. It ensures a cost-effective approach to research and development (R&D), scale-up, and eventual commercial production of key drug compounds. Generally, pilot
Synthesizing target molecules for biological applications such as drug development or modern organic synthesis applications involves researching the feasibility of complex catalyst synthesis pathways
Oil, water, and sand baths are often used in laboratories to supply a steady heat source for the thermodynamic control of reaction mixtures. In an oil bath, a thermometer is
As nitrogen is an abundant gas in the atmosphere, liquid nitrogen is frequently used as a cryogenic refrigerant. The widespread availability of nitrogen means that large quantities can be easily
It’s the International Day of Light on Monday 16th May 2022 and we’re looking at productive ways you can light up your lab in relation to this important topic.
