Cleaning laboratory syringes helps prevent contamination and ensures accurate dosing. You should always adhere to the protocols of your institution and the manufacturer of your syringe. Specific cleaning requirements may vary based on the intended use of the syringe, its material composition , and the sample fluid introduced. Here is a typical protocol for cleaning a laboratory syringe.

Laboratory syringes are used for accurate measurement and administration of fluids in medical, laboratory, and industrial settings. Proper maintenance is crucial to ensure their functionality and accuracy. Here we will examine some common maintenance issues you may encounter with your reusable laboratory syringes.

The foundation of many research laboratories is the ability to do in vitro studies, which rely on the ability to culture cells in the laboratory. Cell culture technologies have advanced significantly, allowing researchers to successfully culture many types of cell lines.

Laboratory forceps are surgical instruments that come in a variety of types. Here’s a brief overview to help you choose a set of forceps for your application. Surgical forceps can be divided into two broad categories, thumb forceps (also called tweezers) and hemostatic forceps. Tweezers can be further divided into dressing forceps and tissue forceps.

The EVOM™ family of TEER measurement meters have been cited in over 16,000 peer-reviewed, scientific journal articles. The EVOM™ Manual has been designed to improve workflow efficiency, increase stability, and provide more repeatable measurements than older Trans Epithelial Electrical Resistance (TEER) meters including the Millipore MilliCell® ERS-2, Millipore MilliCell ERS and World Precision Instruments EVOM2, EVOM and EVOMX. Here’s a quick summary of benefits of the EVOM™ Manual versus the MilliCell ERS voltohmmeter.

The EVOM™ Manual requires an electrode for use. Choose an electrode suitable for your application. Here's a matrix to help you choose an appropriate EVOM electrode.

Choosing the right syringe type depends on the specific application and the requirements of your task. Syringes come in various sizes, materials, and designs, each suited for different purposes. Here are some factors to consider when selecting a syringe type.

Deciding which syringe pump is best for your application involves factors like the flow rate, number of channels, and precision that you require to select and appropriate system. Use a syringe pump when manual syringe handling will negatively impact the delivery of your sample, and to precisely regulate the rate of fluid dispensed from a syringe. These pumps are utilized in diverse areas, including biomedical or chemical applications, general research, healthcare, and in industrial settings. Below is a guide to assist in deciding which syringe pump is most suitable for you:

Surgical forceps have been used in various forms from ancient times and have evolved into a indispensable instrument for modern surgeries. Forceps are surgical instruments for the practice of medicine which are used for grasping, holding, and manipulating tissues and objects during surgical procedures.

On December 29, 2022, the FDA Modernization Act 2.0 was signed into law, which allows alternatives to animal testing for new drug development. This has opened the door for new pathways to drug discovery and development that involve Artificial Intelligence, cell culture-based assays, and organ-on-chip applications. It also moved the field closer to the three Rs of animal testing:
