  • Hematology Analyzers—From Complete Blood Counts to Cell Morphology

    Friday, May 23, 2014
    Hematology analyzers are used widely in patient and research settings to count and characterize blood cells for disease detection and monitoring. Basic analyzers return a complete blood count (CBC) with a three-part differential white blood cell (WBC) count. Sophisticated analyzers measure cell ... read more
  • Environmental Monitoring, Protein Determination, and Quality Control: An Introduction to Nitrogen Analyzers

    Thursday, April 24, 2014
    Nitrogen is a common element, present in every living organism. It is vital to lifecycles and important in many industrial processes in its different forms. Organic nitrogen occurs in proteins, peptides, nucleic acids, urea, and many synthetic organic materials. read more
  • Precise Automation for High-Throughput Liquid Handling

    Friday, January 17, 2014
    Automation in the lab improves productivity and throughput. Automated liquid handling systems save time, increase precision, and contribute to quality control. read more
  • Pipets: Delivering Precise and Accurate Liquid Volumes

    Tuesday, September 24, 2013
    Pipets are used widely in biology, chemistry, and medical laboratories to transfer small, measured volumes of liquid in the region of 0.1 µL to 10 mL. Pipets can be manual or electronic, single or multichannel. read more
  • Viscometers: The Science of Measuring Fluid Flow

    Wednesday, August 14, 2013
    Viscometers measure the viscosity and flow properties of fluids. Viscosity arises from the internal friction of a fluid and is defined as a liquid’s resistance to flow or shear stress. read more
  • Clinical Chemistry Analyzers Technology

    Thursday, May 30, 2013
    Clinical chemistry analyzers run assays on clinical samples such as blood serum, plasma, urine, and cerebrospinal fluid to detect the presence of analytes relating to disease or drugs. Clinical chemistry analyzers are used in a variety of settings, including small clinics, research labs, and high-... read more
  • Spectrophotometers Overview

    Tuesday, April 23, 2013
    Spectrophotometers measure the amount of light of a specific wavelength that is absorbed by a sample. A spectrophotometer is used chiefly to measure the concentration of analytes in solutions, but is also used to characterize liquid and solid samples. read more
  • Mercury Analyzers in the Laboratory

    Wednesday, March 20, 2013
    Mercury is a toxic element, harmful to the environment and poisonous to humans, even at very low levels. It is generated by industry, by burning fossil fuels and as a by-product of some bacteria. read more
  • Ion Chromatography System Purchasing Guide

    Friday, January 04, 2013
    Ion chromatography systems are used to separate charged particles from a liquid and measure their concentration with sensitivity down to parts per billion. Ion chromatography (IC) analytes include anions such as fluoride, chloride, nitrate, nitrite, and sulfate; cations such as lithium, sodium, ... read more
  • Buyer’s Guide to Water Baths and Chillers

    Tuesday, December 18, 2012
    Water baths and chillers are used to heat or cool liquid samples and maintain them at a constant temperature. They are ideal for substances that cannot be exposed to direct heat, such as flammable liquids or biological materials. read more
