Some Things About Geographic Information Systems
Lots of people are learning some things about geographic information systems these days. One of the first things they are learning, is just what one is. A GIS as they are referred to, helps us to question, interpret, understand, and visualize data that can sho [read more...]
Laboratory Instruments For Flow Chemistry
Flow Chemistry is the technique of performing chemical reactions in continuously flowing streams rather than in round bottom flasks (i.e. batch production). The process is simple: pumps push reagent streams through tubes or channels, and at points where reagen [read more...]
Acids and Bases - What are They?
Acids and bases are the terminologies that are used by chemists to classify chemicals based on their pH levels. An acid is any matter that submit a hydrogen ion in solution. Alternatively, a base is any substance that produces a hydroxide ion in solution. H [read more...]
What Are Load Cell Amplifiers And The Different Types Of Load Cells And Their Uses
Before we look at what an amplifier is let’s see what exactly a load cell is. A load cell is an electronic device that converts force into an electrical signal which can then be measured. In simplistic terms it is a device that allows us to weigh items a [read more...]
Getting Better Research From Good Testing Laboratories
In every microbiology lab, the most advanced medical research and studies are done for the greater benefit of mankind. To prove its worth and effectiveness, testing should be made first especially when it comes to drugs or any other kind of medications for som [read more...]
Monitoring Plant and Stack Emission
Historically, combustion exhaust is analysed for species such as O2, SO2, CO2, CO, total hydrocarbons, NO, and NO2 using multiple single gas analysers. These individual analysers have a high initial cost, continuing maintenance cost and cannot measure wet samp [read more...]
How Well Plates Are Used In The Laboratory
The testing of bacteriological, viral, and cell cultures is made easier with well plates. These plates are usually rectangular and average about 14 mm in height. There are many holes formed in the plastic, or “wells”, that are used as miniature t [read more...]
Universal Plausibility Metric Falsifies Evolution
Carl Sagan, the famous skeptic who died of cancer some years ago, often invoked the phrase “billions and billions of years” when he asserted that evolution had enough time to work. Random collisions of atoms in a primordial warm little pond somewh [read more...]
What Are Analytical Standards
Analytical standards are used to provide a reference measurement of an unknown material, substance or levels against a known measurement. They are also used to calibrate instruments that provide an analytical analysis of the required materials. There are sever [read more...]
Why Freeze Dryers Are Used Extensively in A Lab Environment
There are many ways that freeze-drying adds to the quality of our society. The food industry, pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries, and even the preservation of flowers and ceramics utilize the use of lab freeze dryers. Without the aid of freeze-dryin [read more...]
