The Pipetting Cycle is part of a series of tutorial videos; this first tutorial demonstrates the five distinct steps of pipetting and how to do them correctly. These have been created as part of Anachem's Good Pipetting Practice Programme (GPP).
The majority of scientists will agree that pipetting is normally the most frequently practiced activity in the lab. The accuracy and precision of pipettes is vital for producing good quality results. However it is not just the pipette that needs to be considered when evaluating the accuracy of experimental data. There are a number of factors that can influence the accuracy, quality and reproducibility of the generated data, including pipetting skill, pipette maintenance and calibration....
Ideal for size reduction of soft to medium-hard, tough-elastic and fibrous materials as well as for heterogeneous mixtures. They are indispensable in the areas of environment, plastics, agriculture, forestry, construction materials, textiles, chemistry and foodstuffs as well as for analytic and sample preparation for RoHS-analyses, like for example mobile phone LCD glass, mobile phone keypads, electronic chips, circuit boards....
An automated dynamic light scattering system from Malvern Instruments has become established as an essential part of the analytical toolkit used by SARomics Biostructures AB, a leading provider of protein 3D structure determination and structure-based drug design services.

The company, which is based in Lund, Sweden within the biotech cluster of the Medicon Valley, is a research-intensive organization with clients around the world.
Market leaders in temperature controlled microscopy, Linkam Scientific Instruments have launched their first educational videos to help introduce users to some of the new thermal microscopy techniques and associated testing methods.
Building on the success and principles of SMART Automation, Sakura Finetek proudly introduces the next step in Total Laboratory Automation: Tissue-Tek® AutoSection® Automated Microtome, advancing histopathology laboratories and improving patient care.
Simple operation – fully automatic measurement, analysis and cleaning!
So simple, but also very flexible! With the FRITSCH Laser Particle Sizers ANALYSETTE 22 MicroTec plus (0.08 – 2000 µm) and NanoTec plus (0.01 – 2000 µm) particle measurement becomes a simple matter, for professionals as well as for any employee – in production and quality control or in research and development. No prior knowledge is required. Just start the programme, select a SOP and add the sample – the rest takes place completely automatic. Fast. Reliable. Efficient...
RAININ's New LR Low Retention Pipette Tips Can Help
Now available from Anachem the new LR Low Retention pipette tips improve pipetting accuracy by minimising residual volume. These tips prevent samples from interacting with the polypropylene surface of the tip, making them especially useful when transferring complex sample liquids, viscous liquids and those with reduced surface tension due to the presence of detergents and other organic constituents....
The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences has decided to award the Nobel Prize in Chemistry for 2014 to Eric Betzig, Janelia Farm Research Campus, Howard Hughes Medical Institute, Stefan W. Hell, Max Planck Institute for Biophysical Chemistry and German Cancer Research Center and William E. Moerner, Stanford University, Stanford, CA, USA
“for the development of super-resolved fluorescence microscopy”.
As Mastersizer 3000, the world-leading laser diffraction particle size analyzer, celebrates its 3rd birthday, Malvern Instruments is delivering even smarter particle sizing with the launch of two new additions to the Mastersizer portfolio.
INTEGRA has introduced a Row Dilution Plate Holder accessory for its VIAFLO 96 and 384 handheld benchtop pipettes.
The new row dilution plate holder adds the functionality to perform serial dilutions in rows. Serial dilutions are often carried out in row format because it allows experimenters to dilute more samples (12 instead of 8 in a 96-well plate). The plate holder can easily be adapted to work with either 96 or 384 well plates.
Avacta Analytical has released a number of software updates for its innovative Optim® series of biophysical characterization instruments.
Designed to reduce the time and cost of therapeutic protein preformulation studies, the compact and robust Optim instruments can probe multiple protein stability indicating parameters at high speed using ultra-low sample volumes. The latest software updates have been developed to streamline this process, offering faster, more flexible operation and analysis....
The DrySyn MULTI from Asynt converts any standard hotplate stirrer into a high performance reaction block accommodating 3 round-bottomed flasks or up to 12 reactions in tubes or vials.
The Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI) has produced a new version of the video Making a Difference Through Newborn Screening: Blood Collection on Filter Paper (NBS01-A6 DVD).
This video is an updated version of the LA04-A5 DVD and is based off of CLSI document Blood Collection on Filter Paper for Newborn Screening Programs; Approved Standard—Sixth Edition (NBS01-A6). For hundreds of years, newborns who appeared healthy at birth later had severe intellectual or physical disability, or died because their genetic and heritable disorders went undetected and untreated. Thanks to advancing science and...
An informative video interview with Professor Steve Conlan of the College of Medicine at Swansea University (UK) highlights the latest research developments in women’s reproductive health using unique molecular biology tools.

A prototype of new technology to help specially trained dogs ‘sniff out’ the tell-tale signs of cancer in biological samples has been unveiled by The Open University (OU) at the 2014 Royal Society Summer Exhibition.
CHN microanalysis is a key analytical technique for determining whether or not a sample is pure by providing a precise and accurate analysis of its percentage Carbon, Hydrogen and Nitrogen content and comparing the result versus theoretical figures.
Drawing upon over 25 years experience in the technique, Exeter Analytical Inc. has produced a video that provides an informed and easy-to-understand introduction to accurate determination of Carbon, Hydrogen and Nitrogen by CHN microanalysis....
Its space saving stackable design allows you to make the most of your lab space and the modular design allows for different combinations to suit single and multiple GC applications.
Looking to the future, the F-DGSi Modular Alliance Series can also accommodate Helium to Hydrogen conversion as natural resources run low and costs rise, with our high purity H2 generator model WM-H2. Hydrogen provides many advantages over helium including, higher resolution, shorter run times, longer column life, and cost savings. Many instrument manufacturers now provide resources to make switching carrier gas easier....
