When you’re tackling a remodeling project, — whether it’s a simple redesign, a complete overhaul, or a complex relocation — you want to design for the future. Laboratories should fit the needs of occupants, workers, and the surrounding community. To ensure these standards, two major design certifications were established: LEED and WELL. Today, we’ll examine

The ability to work comfortably is a crucial part of laboratory design. Choosing the right lab chair requires many important considerations, including considering whether or not one type of chair can meet your entire lab’s seating requirements. (We’ll give you a hint: it probably can’t, unless your lab only has one type of workstation.) The

In science, there are few things more important than safety. In addition to lab coats, gloves, masks, and goggles, scientists must also consider the importance of proper chemical storage. Even the most mundane chemicals and materials need to be properly stored to avoid cross-contamination. Why Should You Store Your Chemicals Properly? There are far more

Chemical storage is an important aspect of laboratory function. Your chemical storage requirements will vary depending on what type of laboratory you are running and what types of research or experiments are being performed, but most branches of science do require chemicals of some kind in the lab. In order to have a good workflow

When planning your lab’s chemical storage, you might think it’s a good idea to have sturdy, sealed cabinets. But the reality of chemical storage is that it is more complicated than you might think! While some chemicals benefit from storage with limited airflow, other chemicals do best in ventilated cabinets. Why Choose Ventilated Storage Cabinets?

Life, and by the extent of the genetics that control it, is an incredibly complex matter that scientists have worked to understand for centuries. As of recently, there has been incredible progress towards reaching this understanding, and we can not only understand how genetics function, but how to alter their functions as well. This revolutionary

When you hear terms such as gene editing or CRISPR, the first thing that comes to mind is probably straight out of a sci-fi novel. However, gene technology, CRISPR for example, is very real, and at the forefront of modern medical science. As with many new medical technologies, it may seem simple on the surface.

DNA sequencing is the process of determining the sequence of nucleotide bases in a piece of DNA. While this may sound straightforward, DNA sequencing is a complex process with many steps and chemical processes. DNA sequencing is used in various research fields and industries. It also has a wide range of uses and applications. It

In the modern world, few places of scientific study are as essential as pathology labs. These institutions focus on studying, testing, and storing samples to determine whether or not certain diseases or mutations are present. Pathology is the intersection of medicine, chemistry, and science. In a pathology lab, researchers constantly handle extremely sensitive materials, many
