In order to quantify and identify the compounds separated in the column, HPLC analysis requires a detector to monitor the compounds themselves. The sort of detector used depends on what is being detected. It’s crucial to think about the type of sample you’ll be analysing before choosing a detector. On some detectors, certain sample types […]
When it comes to pipetting, like with most scientific procedures, precision is essential. A minor error can have a significant impact on your results. In this post, we will share 8 tips that will help you improve your pipetting skills. Pre-wet the pipette tip Before aspirating for delivery, aspirate and totally expel a quantity of […]
High-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) (Fig.1) is a chromatographic technique that is used to separate a mixture of substances in order to identify, measure, or purify the individual components of the mixture. How does HPLC work? The sample combination to be separated and evaluated is placed into a stream of mobile phase percolating through a column […]
Laboratory technicians are the “behind-the-scenes” professionals, who perform tests and experiments for research or diagnostic purposes. They help researchers and doctors reach conclusions and provide a better service/treatment for patients, respectively. To be a successful laboratory technician, certain skills are fundamental to get accurate and reliable results. Essential laboratory skills Attention to detail You must be […]
The most recent pandemic due to COVID-19 has certainly had a huge impact on our lives. One of the most affected sectors has been education. Face to face teaching had to be stopped and all teaching was given virtually. Thus, all lectures and practical classes were given online and students had to learn from home. […]

One of the most used pieces of equipment for analysing a sample is the mass spectrometer. It works by separating ions based on their mass/charge ratio and sending them through a magnetic or electrical field. The theory mass spectrometry (MS) was put forward in the late 1890s, but it wasn’t until the early 20th Centrury […]
