Can I monitor multiple points on one datalogger?
Yes – using the Ebro EBI-310 USB datalogger you can monitor up to 3 points with one unit. The logger has a built in sensor, but by adding an adapter and external probes the one unit can monitor the temperature of up to 3 locations. This could mean monitoring the laboratory room temperature, an incubator and a freezer with one simple unit. Just built a system to suit your site from the 3 ...

Removal of fluoride and arsenic by pilot vertical-flow constructed wetlands using soil and coal cinder as substrate
This study evaluated the performance of soil and coal cinder used as substrate in vertical-flow constructed wetlands for removal of fluoride and arsenic. Two duplicate pilot-scale artificial wetlands were set up, planted respectively with cannas, calamus and no plant as blank, fed with a synthetic sewage solution. Laboratory (batch) incubation experiments were also carried out separately to ...

G100 portable CO2 incubator analyser for incubators gas readings
The Geotech G100, which measures CO2 from 0-20%, is used to demonstrate accurate and repeatable CO2 readings of the atmosphere inside incubators. In just a few seconds an embryologist is able to take a reading from various incubators, all of which will have a different means of sampling the air inside an incubator, without fully opening the inner door and adversely affecting the environment. It ...

Using anion chromatography–pulsed amperometry to measure amino compounds in dairy manure-amended soils
Amino acids and amino sugars comprise the bulk of soil N, so information on their chemical forms and cycling patterns should enable better understanding of soil N cycling. In this study of soil samples that had received animal manure, we evaluated the capabilities of a recently developed analysis for soil amino compounds (19 amino acids, two amino sugars) that consists of methanesulfonic acid ...

The convenient and reliable alternative to chemical-based gas measurement within your incubators - Case Study
With a typical laboratory having many incubators of different types and ages, checking CO2 and O2 levels is a challenge. Even the most modern incubators need to be checked. An electronic gas analyser offers a faster and more convenient method than historically popular chemical analysis. Geotech looks at why their digital gas analyser, the G100, is fast becoming the go to product for CO2 and O2 ...

Heated Laboratory Water Bath Function and Uses
A heated water bath is a piece of lab equipment used to heat samples or reactions to a set temperature. A temperature controlled water bath is useful in any laboratory for heating reactions, thawing samples, maintaining sample temperature or incubation. How To Use A Heated Water Bath Before switching on the water bath, the water reservoir should be filled with distilled water to the indicated ...

Gases found within pharmaceutical and bioanalytical laboratories
There are a wide variety of gases found within a pharmaceutical or medical laboratory. Many have no taste, colour or smell, which makes it difficult to tell if a gas leak is present. A gas leak from a cylinder or fixed pipe gas system poses a series risk that can cause a potentially fatal incident or hazard within a laboratory environment. The pharmaceutical industry is one of the world’s ...

Air uality in IVF Labs
Since the birth of the first baby from in-vitro fertilisation (IVF) in 1978, Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART) has grown in importance as techniques and success rates have continued to improve. Put simply, IVF involves mixing sperm and egg in a lab to create an embryo which is then replaced in a woman's womb to develop normally with success being measured in terms of live births. All cells, ...
