Measuring The Impact Of Common Environmental Conditions On Laboratory Data Integrity
3/12/2008
While pipetting does not normally conjure images of
sweltering temperatures, exploding geysers, or
mountainous heights, laboratory technicians do
often work in or with extreme conditions. Pipetting
hot and cold liquids, using walk-in incubators and
glove boxes, and outsourcing pipette calibration to
laboratories at different elevations are common
scenarios in today’s life science community. And all
of these tasks can expose pipettes to harsh
environments and put important data at risk

Fermentation Process Control Using A Quadrupole Process Mass Spectrometer
3/12/2008
An increased need for real-time fast analysis of the
fermentation process resulted in the growth of mass
spectrometer use in the pharmaceutical industry.
The major advantages offered by process mass
spectrometers are their speed, precision, and
accuracy, all of which can be used to improve
process yields, avoid accidents, and check raw
materials and product quality

Developments In Laboratory-Scale Lyophilization For Purification Laboratories
3/12/2008
For many years, lyophilization, or freeze drying, has
been used to dry samples in the laboratory. The
technique is well documented and has become the
method of choice for many researchers with few
samples to dry. Lyophilization is often selected
because it achieves a high level of dryness with low
residual solvent levels, and because of the light,
powdery, “fluffy” finish of the sample, which enables
it to be easily removed and weighed out

The Changing Landscape Of Mercury Analysis
3/12/2008
Mercury has become an extremely important
element to the industrialized world. Its unique
physical properties have made it useful in the
production of a wide range of products, including
contact switches, thermometers, barometers, dental
fillings, batteries, paints, and even light bulbs. In
addition, it occurs naturally as a common
contaminant in fossil fuels such as coal and crude
oil. Mercury’s broad use, combined with the
ceaseless industrialization of the world, inevitably led
to it becoming a major environmental pollutant

Ready Or Not, Here It Comes - New Anti-Terrorism Legislation Has A Direct Effect On U.S. Warehouses And Distribution Centers
4/26/2007
Traceability. It has been a hot issue for a while, and it’s only getting hotter. In December of 2004, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration issued final regulations (specifically Section 306 of the Bioterrorism Act) requiring every warehouse or distribution center – regardless of size – that transports, distributes, receives, holds or imports any kind of food to maintain records to show where that product came from and where it’s going to
