Ovens and furnaces are one of the most basic pieces of scientific equipment in the modern laboratory. Ovens are typically used for drying, baking or curing samples and can manage temperatures of up to 300°C. Furnaces, which can generate temperatures over 1700ºC, are used for firing ceramics, melting metals and glass and curing, forming and […]
Although the previous categories discussed cover a large portion of the techniques provided by the analytical and life science industry, there are a number of techniques that do not easily aggregate into a single category. These include lab balances, pH meters and electrodes. Likewise, instruments used for specimen preparation, such as centrifuges and extraction and […]
With the IBO Laboratory Instrumentation and Consumables Stock Indexes up over 20% for the second year in a row, it would seem that one would only have had to throw darts at the list of our industry equities to easily come up with winners. Alas that was not the case for our stock picks for […]
Lyophilization, also referred to as freeze drying, is an important sample processing and preparation tool for many laboratories. The technology is relatively simple, but because of its use in growing industries, the market for lyophilizers is continuing to demonstrate relatively robust growth. The process of lyophilization, or freeze drying, is used to dehydrate samples in […]

Incubators are among the most basic pieces of laboratory equipment and are installed in most laboratories. They maintain an isolated, controlled environment for in vitro studies or for growing biological samples. Although incubators perform a seemingly simple function, their features have become more reliable and sophisticated. There are a myriad of incubators available, each with […]
