Are both Micropipettes and Bottle Top Dispensers autoclavable?

What is Autoclave? Autoclaves, often known as steam sterilizers, are commonly used in healthcare and commercial applications. An autoclave is a machine that uses high-pressure steam to eliminate hazardous bacteria, viruses, fungi, and spores on components placed inside a pressure vessel. The items are heated for a set period of time to an optimum sterilizing […]

Uses and Industrial Applications of Hydrofluoric Acid

Hydrofluoric acid, the aqueous form of hydrogen fluoride, is a colorless acid that is used widely across industries, such as refrigerants to herbicides to electrical components. Hydrofluoric acid’s extensive industrial applicability can be attributed to its high reactivity due to the presence of fluorine ions. Its natural reactivity also makes it extremely corrosive, which implies […]

How does the viscosity of the liquid affect pipetting accuracy?

Viscosity is defined by the flow resistance of a layer of fluid relative to its adjacent layer. In plain words, viscosity is the opposite of a liquid’s property of fluidity. It can be categorized into dynamic and kinematic viscosity and is computed in millipascals per second. Viscous liquids are very common in research labs and […]

What is ISO 8655 Standard? It’s Types, Permissible Errors and Lab & Environment Conditions

Fundamentals of Calibration The purpose of calibrating any device is to verify its functionality. The process is generally carried out via a standardized procedure and varies with every lab equipment. In case of pipettes, calibration is performed to ensure that it accurately dispenses the expected liquid volume. Difference between ISO 8655 and ISO 17025 ISO […]
