How to Clean and Handle the Different Types of Lab Glassware

Reference to this article: ConductScience, How to Clean and Handle the Different Types of Lab Glassware (2022). doi.org/10.55157/CS20220621 Glassware is used to store, mix, measure, deliver, and store biological and chemical substances or reactions in laboratories. Since glass is inert, chemically neutral, and heat-resistant, lab glassware does not interact with the chemicals and can withstand […]

Linear Regression

What is Linear Regression?  Linear regression is a linear relationship approach between dependent and independent variables, where interaction with a single independent variable is called ‘simple linear regression’ and interaction with multiple independent variables is called ‘multiple linear regression. When multiple dependent variables exist within a model, it is called ‘multivariate linear regression. (Freedman, David […]

Hypothesis Testing

Reference to this article: ConductScience, Hypothesis Testing (2022). doi.org/10.55157/CS20220615 What is Hypothesis Testing?  Hypothesis testing is a method used to find out the representable validity of a given probable outcome being tested for a defined significance value in a sample. For a set of potential probability distributions, a hypothesis will be tested in comparison to […]

Lab Basics: Mini Centrifuges

Reference to this article: ConductScience, Lab Basics: Mini Centrifuges (2022). doi.org/10.55157/CS20220601 Introduction  Mini centrifuges are benchtop centrifuges that aim to fulfill the centrifugation requirements of the laboratories with less storage space. These are generally employed for performing quick spin-downs and are typically designed to spin microfuge or PCR tubes. Like all other centrifuges, mini centrifuges […]

Lab Basics: Glass Bioreactors

Introduction Glass bioreactors are instruments that provide the biologically active environment to cultivate cells or tissues in a controlled environment. Aeration, agitation, pH, and temperature are all controlled within the apparatus. It converts the starting material (substrate or raw material) into a product by carrying out one or more biochemical reactions with the help of […]
