How To Care And Maintain Your Laboratory Instruments?
Laboratory instruments are indispensable in the work of experimentation and research of varied areas of knowledge such as medicine, biology, physics and chemistry.
What are Ehlers-Danlos Syndromes?
Ehlers-Danlos syndromes (EDS) are a group of inherited connective tissue disorders that affect many organic systems. Depending on the type of EDS, the signs are hematoma proneness, slow wound healing, hyperextensible skin, joint hypermobility and fragility of connective tissue demonstrated by fragility of internal organs and blood vessels. The EDS group consists of different disorders and the genetic basis is known in 12 of the 13 types.
Diagnosis of acute pancreatitis in children
Acute pancreatitis is increasingly recognized in children. With an incidence of up to 13 per 100,000 per year and an average hospitalization time of 5-8.5 days.
How to keep your refractometers in good condition?
Refractometers are optical instruments that are used to determine the percentage of soluble solids in a liquid solution. For this, the refractometer makes use of the principle of total refraction of light (caused by the type and concentration of substances dissolved in a liquid solution such as sugar), which takes place in the boundary layer between the prism and the sample. The refractive index of the prism determines the upper limit of the measuring range, since this should always be greater than that of the sample. The refractometer therefore measures the density of liquids, the denser a liquid the greater the refraction.
What should I do when a spill occurs on my equipment?
Semi-automated chemistry analyzers, in general, are very specialized and expensive equipment. Its conservation depends largely on the way of installation and use.
How important is the calibration and preventive maintenance of a device?
Calibration is the set of operations with which, under certain specific conditions, the correspondence between the values indicated in an instrument.
What is sleep apnea?
Obstructive sleep apnea is a respiratory pathology that is characterized because people who suffer from it regularly snore, have breathing stops have breathing stops (apnea) repeatedly and drowsiness during the day.
Electric conductivity
Conductivity is defined as the ability of a substance to conduct electrical current and is the opposite of resistance; it is a measure of the property that aqueous solutions possess to conduct electrical current.
Freezer use in the laboratory
A freezer is a refrigeration device that includes a thermally insulated compartment and a refrigeration system, which helps you keep cold and slow rot.
How to keep your laboratory equipment in optimal condition?
Laboratory equipment is indispensable in the work of experimentation and research in various areas of knowledge such as medicine, biology, physics and chemistry.
