WPI’s NanoFil™ Gas-Tight syringe offers the ultimate precision for sensitive tissue, particularly for ophthalmic-specific applications. The injection system boasts zero dead volume in the terminal between the interchangeable needle and plunger— creating a truly gas-tight system once primed. NanoFil™ needles are offered in blunt or beveled styles down to 36G, the smallest commercially available gauge on the market.

In traditional hanging-insert workflows, media changes are a slow, manual bottleneck. Researchers must lift each insert—often with tweezers—to access the narrow gap between insert and well for pipetting or aspiration. This labor-intensive step not only adds time and variability but also risks disturbing delicate cellular layers. Now, WPI’s 24-Well Auto Exchange Cell Culture Plate fundamentally reshapes this workflow by combining smart well geometry, integrated fluidics, and robust insert seating to enable fully automated, multichannel TEER measurement on the EVOM™ Auto—and to simplify every step of media exchange and sampling, whether done by hand or robot. It enables seamless media exchange and multichannel TEER measurements without ever lifting an insert.

Precision and control are vital in ophthalmic procedures, and having the right surgical scissors makes all the difference. WPI offers a large variety of high-performance scissors specifically suited for the demands of eye surgery and laboratory microdissection work. Here's a quick guide to some of the most commonly used types of ophthalmic scissors.

Whether you're culturing bacteria, working with stem cells, or imaging live cells or embryos, attention to detail with Petri dishes can make or break your results. Use this quick checklist to avoid common mistakes and maintain best practices in the lab.

If you’ve ever stepped into a research lab, you know it’s filled with specialized tools and equipment—all essential for keeping experiments running smoothly. When people ask “What are laboratory supplies” the short answer is: they’re the essentials that help scientists and researchers get their work done. That includes everything from basic items like petri dishes and pipettes to more advanced laboratory equipment like microscopes and micromanipulators.

GxP is a critical framework for research laboratories, ensuring data integrity, product safety, regulatory compliance, and operational efficiency. By adhering to these guidelines, laboratories can produce reliable research, protect public health, and maintain the highest standards of scientific and ethical responsibility. By streamlining compliance reporting and simplifying audit preparation with GxP compliant software, organizations can avoid delays, reduce the risk of non-compliance penalties, and demonstrate a commitment to regulatory adherence with confidence.

The ultimate aim of GxP (Good “X” Practices) is to ensure patient safety by maintaining the highest standards of quality, integrity, and compliance throughout the production and research process. In highly regulated industries, adhering to GxP guidelines not only guarantees the safety and efficacy of products but also enhances operational efficiency and supports global market access. By automating compliance processes like monitoring, reporting, and training, GxP compliance software reduces manual workloads, improves productivity, and bolsters organizational credibility, ensuring a streamlined and compliant approach to research and development.

With the incredible variety of designs, including the style, tip shape, size, and construction material, it can be daunting to select the ideal surgical forceps for a specific application. Surgical forceps are essential tools in laboratory applications, particularly in medical, biological, and pharmaceutical research. By choosing the appropriate instrument, you ensure your precision, efficiency, and safety. Consider the factors when you are selecting surgical forceps for laboratory applications.

In the competitive world of pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, and other regulated industries, compliance with GxP (Good “X” Practices) is vital not only for ensuring safety and quality but also for improving operational efficiency and enhancing organizational credibility and supports access to global markets.

In industries like pharmaceuticals and biotechnology, where regulatory compliance is critical, adhering to GxP (Good “X” Practices) is essential to ensuring product safety, quality, and efficacy. Non-compliance with these standards can lead to severe consequences, including product recalls, legal liabilities, and a tarnished brand reputation. In this article we look at the benefits of GxP for reducing risks and facilitating audits and inspections.
