Laboratory Equipment Care and Maintenance

The care and maintenance of laboratory equipment are an integral part of quality assurance in the lab. Well-maintained lab equipment ensures that data is consistent and reliable, which in turn impacts the productivity and integrity of the work produced. Furthermore, since laboratory equipment generally takes up a big cut of the budget, good maintenance contributes […]

Radiation: Friend or Foe? What Can We Learn From Radiobiology?

We are routinely exposed to radiation. Simply, radiation is the propagation of energy in the form of waves or particles through material in space (Mu et al., 2018). The world is full of background radiation to which we are constantly exposed. Everything we see and hear comes to us in the form of radiation. Radiation […]

Colorimetry- a comprehensive guide for your color science

  Overview of Colorimetry Colorimetry, as the name suggests, means the measurement of colors. In terms of chemical analysis, it is, more specifically, the measurement of the concentration of a particular compound (solute) in a colored solution (solvent). During scientific work, we often need to measure quantities of a particular compound in a mixture or […]

The Basics of Infrared Spectrophotometry

Spectroscopy refers to the interaction between electromagnetic (EM) radiation and matter as a function of its frequency or wavelength.  From this, a number of quantitative and qualitative measurements defining aspects like sample concentrations, structure, chemical compositions etc, can be obtained depending on the spectroscopic technique and spectrum of EM radiation used.  When EM radiation interacts […]
