Labware Introduction
Labware is a must have in modern laboratories, plays a big role in ensuring safe and quality scientific research and testing. Many individuals in a lab setting are likely to be familiar with various instruments and their respective functions. With the advancement of laboratory technology, particularly laboratory automation and data integration, the functionality of labware have evolved. This overview will cover the different aspects of labware used in laboratories, common challenges, strategies for optimization and integration of systems like Labware LIMS (Laboratory Information Management System) and ELN (Electronic Lab Notebook).
Labware in Modern Laboratories
Labware covers a wide range of laboratory products from basic glass and plastic labware to advanced instruments and containers. Other glassware, such as beakers and graduated cylinders, can facilitate easy pouring and accurate measurements when aligned with each other. These beakers are must haves for daily operations of pharmaceutical laboratories, research facilities and other scientific settings, provides the laboratory tools for experiments, data collection and sample storage for most customers.
Key Components of Borosilicate Glass Labware
Glassware and Plasticware: Beakers, tubes, bottles and dishes used for mixing, measuring and storing substances. Solid solutes can be accurately weighed and transferred into volumetric flasks to create solutions with known concentrations. Glassware such as beakers offers better chemical resistance and heat stability, plasticware is valued for its durability and cost effectiveness.
Instruments: Advanced devices like water baths, centrifuges and spectrophotometers used for precise scientific accurate measurements and analysis.
Containers: Various types of plastic jars with lids, storage solutions, sterile containers for biological samples and safety containers and water baths for hazardous substances.
Glassware
Glassware like the graduated cylinder is the backbone of scientific research and experimentation, provides precision and reliability in many applications. A burette is a precise tool for dispensing variable volumes of liquids in titrations, and its construction, calibration, and cleaning procedures are crucial for ensuring accuracy and hygiene. Each type of glassware is designed for specific purpose, so scientists and researchers can work effectively. Let’s look at some of the common types of glassware.
Graduated cylinders is a must have and used for precise measurement of liquid volume. Made of borosilicate glass cylinders, these graduated cylinders are thermal shock and chemical corrosion resistant, durable and accurate. The graduated markings along the side of the graduated cylinder allows easy volume reading, perfect for experiments that require precise liquid measurement. The 100 ml graduated cylinder, Glass Edition is available from 10ml to 2,000ml, cylinders is versatile and widely used in many scientific applications.
Borosilicate Glass Cylinders
Borosilicate glass graduated cylinders are known for its thermal shock and chemical corrosion resistance. This makes them perfect for storing and measuring liquids in harsh environment. The robustness of borosilicate glass ensures that these graduated cylinders can withstand extreme temperatures and harsh chemicals without compromising its integrity. Available in various sizes, borosilicate glass graduated cylinders is a reliable choice for laboratories that need durable and long lasting glassware.
Labware LIMS and Labware Mobile
Labware LIMS is a global software solution that optimizes laboratory workflows by managing data, resources and laboratory processes. Labware Mobile extends this functionality by allowing remote access and management, so data agility and integrity is maintained across all laboratory functions.
Data Agility: Labware systems enables quick processing and analysis of large volume of data, adapt to new requirement or changes in experimental condition.
Data Integrity: Data collected and stored in laboratory system must be accurate and reliable. Labware LIMS helps to maintain high standard of data integrity, essential for compliance and quality assurance.
Measuring Liquids
Using a pipet bulb with a pipet can prevent contamination and ensure the exact volume of liquid is delivered. The pipet bulb allows controlled suction and release of the liquid, making it easier to measure small volume accurately. Whether you are using graduated cylinders or volumetric flasks, follow these techniques to maintain the accuracy and reliability of your measurement, which is essential for any laboratory experiment.
Volumetric Measurements
A volumetric pipet for example is calibrated to deliver exact volume of liquid, so the final volume is accurate. When using these tools, make sure to read the graduations on the glassware and observe the meniscus of the liquid. The meniscus should be read at eye level to avoid errors. By using calibrated glassware and following proper techniques, laboratories can ensure their volumetric measurements are accurate and reliable, resulting to successful experiment and valid results.
