Accuracy, Safety and Convenience for Sample- and Standards-Prep in Analytical Cannabis Laboratories
Analytical cannabis laboratories face a number of challenges in sample preparation. Extraction of samples from varied matrices for testing is tedious and time consuming, and it makes sense to streamline the process wherever possible for highest throughput. When extracting numerous samples, a safe and convenient way is with a BRAND® Dispensette® S bottletop dispenser which…

Seeing more deeply into nanomaterials
From Brookhaven National Laboratory: From designing new biomaterials to novel photonic devices, new materials built through a process called bottom-up nanofabrication, or self-assembly, are opening up pathways to new technologies with properties tuned at the nanoscale. However, to fully unlock the potential of these new materials, researchers need to “see” into their tiny creations so…

Why there’s a neon shortage — and why it matters
By Mark Jones In a normal world, vodka, nickel, palladium, and neon would have nothing in common. In our current world, after the Russian invasion of Ukraine, they do. All are currently experiencing supply chain disruptions due either directly to the fighting or to sanctions. Nickel and palladium come from mines. Russian mines produced about 10%…

‘Self-driving’ lab speeds up research, synthesis of energy materials
By Milad Abolhasani, NCSU and Matt Shipman, NCSU Researchers from North Carolina State University and the University at Buffalo have developed and demonstrated a ‘self-driving lab’ that uses artificial intelligence (AI) and fluidic systems to advance our understanding of metal halide perovskite (MHP) nanocrystals. This self-driving lab can also be used to investigate a broad…
