With lab setup, design layout of how your space will function is crucial for an optimized lab. These references listed provide a wealth of detailed information. Whether you are building a new laboratory space or updating an old one, these references will help with developing good laboratory layouts that are safe and are compliant with regulations.

Laboratories around the world process and analyze hundreds of thousands of samples each day. Without an assurance of competency and accuracy, those results could be called into question, risking the world’s health, safety and economy. Since the 1940s, the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) has become one of the world’s largest developers of voluntary international standards from all manners of manufactured, agricultural and technological products and services. In the 1990s, ISO began creating standards for laboratories to standardize procedures and ensure competency and accuracy. Through the years, laboratories and reference material providers have pursued ISO accreditation for their facilities as a mark of quality and reliability. Recently, laboratory and reference material standards have been expanded or rewritten. Many established accredited laboratories are now wondering how these recent changes will affect their business. New unaccredited industries and laboratories are trying to understand the standards and the accreditation process to prove their own competency and value. In this note, we will look at the most common questions regarding ISO accreditation and how the new changes apply to laboratories and reference material suppliers.

Consistent, accurate temperature control plays a vital role in creating the most productive cannabis extraction workflow. See how to control temperature throughout cannabis extraction and distillation to achieve expected material throughput, quality, and increase uptime. Read more in this white paper.

Chromatography is a technique for separating mixtures into their constituent parts. At its core, chromatography is the interaction between a mobile phase (which carries the mixture being separated) and a stationary phase (which performs the separation).

Keep your areas clean and reduce the spread of germs by simply grabbing a cleaning wipe. We offer a variety of dry and presaturated wipes for standard labs as well as clean rooms. Cleanroom wipes decrease the risk of contamination in controlled environments. These specialized wipes have features such as individually sealed packaging, easy dispensing canisters, sealed edges to eliminate fiber release, durability, maximum performance, excellent pickup and retention of particles, and gamma irradiated to a 10 to the negative six sterility assurance level. We even have wipes in compliance with ISO Class 3, 5, 6 and 8. To help you select the correct wipe for your lab, we have compiled the features of various wipe types as well as their performance for specific application areas (see Table 1).
