All Lab equipment’s are designed to sustain specific conditions for operation, either consistent temperatures when it comes to Cold Storage, Ovens or Incubators or speed for centrifuges etc.
If these are maintained and operated properly, they will reliably make analysis or research publications valid.
Our own Jean Fallacara, Managing Director of North Sciences was recently interviewed by Lab Manager, the only publication specifically focused on all aspects of running a lab.
A biobank is a collection of biological samples and the data associated with them. The samples usually originate from humans and can include tissue samples, blood, and bodily fluids. Biobanks are highly valuable tools in medical and health research.
If you have a lab refrigerator or an ultralow temperature (ULT) freezer, what is its temperature? ‘Cold’ is the first thing that will come to mind. And yes, it is true that refrigerators and freezers are cold.
ULT stands for ultra-low temperature. ULT freezers operate in the range of -40 to -86ºC, hence the name. They come in a range of sizes – most ULT freezers are upright freezers that resemble large refrigerators, while some are so small they can fit on a tabletop. There are also chest ULT freezers that look like the freezers used to store meat in restaurants. There are even walk-in ULT freezers with much larger capacities.
As technology expands day to day, we often find ourselves as simple observers in our life, watching as our world slowly morphs into the robotic city we’ve always dreamed of. Love it or hate it, technology has implemented itself into our reality, like ivy growing around our windowsills. From technological advancements in cell phones, to living robots, its range is ever changing, making it difficult yet accessible to become accustomed to this new manner of life. Through all these changes, the spotlight remains focused upon two elements: virtual reality and artificial intelligence, terms we hadn’t even heard about twenty years ago. Just like in any other circumstance, adaptation and improvement are the best ways to live life: to accept change with open arms, and in this way, these two aspects are able to reach their full potential.
