Repetitive strain injuries (RSIs) can be caused by prolonged and repetitive movements, and almost 90 % of scientists who regularly use pipettes for more than an hour a day report hand and elbow disorders, while others experience discomfort in the wrist, arm, shoulder and neck. The likelihood of developing an RSI from pipetting is dependent on various risk factors. The 3 major ones are posture, force and repetition.
Figures show that the UK produces 3 million tonnes of hazardous waste every year. With 15% of healthcare sector waste classed as hazardous, the cumulative impact can be substantial when waste isn't managed properly. Mismanagement of hazardous, contaminated, or expired materials can lead to health risks, environmental harm, and even legal consequences. As a result, the safe disposal of laboratory waste is crucial for protecting your local area...

In pharmaceutical quality control, deviations are not an option. This is why a LC column that delivers consistently reliable results, regardless of the measurement series or production batch, is needed. This requirement is exactly met by YMC-Triart UHPLC columns: a precisely controlled manufacturing process with tight specifications ensures consistent performance and minimises unwanted variances. The result is stable retention times, consistent peak shapes, and documentable quality, day after day...
