DO YOU KNOW HOW TO CHOOSE THE IDEAL CO2 INCUBATOR

Image
   The most important variable in a CO2 incubator is temperature. Uniformity, stability and recovery time after opening the door are some attributes related to temperature, which must be analyzed carefully as they directly affect the result of your cell cultures. It is common for people to confuse the terms uniformity and temperature stability, so having clarity on these concepts is essential when choosing the ideal incubator for your application. When we talk about temperature uniformity, we are referring to the incubator's ability to reach the same temperature at all points within the chamber. Think with me, at a given moment, if thermometers were placed in several places in the chamber, would they show the same temperature? It's important that you show. Uniformity deals with this temperature variation that exists between different points in the chamber. So, the smaller this variation, the better the uniformity of your incubator. Temperature stability, on the other h...

WHY IS LYOPHILIZER (FREEZE DRYER) EQUIPMENT SO IMPORTANT?

Image
The Freeze Dryer (Lyophilizer) is an equipment used in many areas, from research laboratories  to the food, pharmaceutical and technological industries. This equipment uses the  lyophilization process to perform its main function and can have some distinct and suitable types according to the purpose for which they were designed. But after all, do you know what a freeze dryer is, how it works and its applications? FREEZE DRYER: EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT THIS EQUIPMENT The freeze dryer is very useful, because in addition to preserving food better, it allows them to  be stored more easily, eliminating the need for very low temperatures and also making them lighter. See a little more about some concepts of lyophilization, how it works and other pertinent information. WHAT IS LYOPHILIZATION? Lyophilization is a separation technique that uses sublimation to perform the dehydration of a  product. It consists of three steps that include freezing, remov...
