Watch your pipette dissolve in acid? For labs handling corrosive liquids, traditional piston systems are ticking time bombs.
Imagine this: Your critical experiment halts mid-run because your spectrophotometer’s light source flickers out. Replacement parts cost $1,200.
Microplate readers have become indispensable tools in laboratories worldwide due to their ability to rapidly analyze multiple samples simultaneously. But what are the applications of microplate readers that make them so valuable across diverse scientific fields? From biomedical research to environmental monitoring, these instruments play a crucial role in streamlining workflows and enhancing data accuracy.
Why do viscous liquids leave residual films in stepped-speed pipettes? Why do bubbles ruin experimental consistency during cell culture?
Picture this: It’s 3 AM in a genomics lab. A researcher stares in dismay at her fogged-up pipette—its plastic swollen from ethanol exposure, its piston jammed after accidental autoclaving.
Imagine a family testing their water for contaminants using a home kit. A parent struggles to handle a standard 20cm pipette in a cramped room—knocking over vials, spilling precious reagents, and questioning the accuracy of results.
