Around the world governmental bodies, research organizations and recycling business are collaborating ever closer to work out more efficient ways to conduct and regulate e-waste recycling. Central to these efforts are employing the best methods of extracting TCE (technology critical elements) from everyday electronic devices including smartphones, batteries and Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs). Both the …

As the world becomes increasingly aware of environmental contamination risks, substances like PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances) continue to command attention due to their persistence and potential health hazards. Among industries with high water usage, semiconductor manufacturing stands out as one where water recycling is not only vital for operational efficiency but also essential for …

In the fast-paced world of scientific research, time is an invaluable resource. Every minute spent on routine tasks is a minute taken away from groundbreaking drug discoveries and innovative R&D. For laboratories striving to push the boundaries of science, maximizing time for innovation is a necessity. Yet, many scientists find their days consumed by non-core …

Introduction: Unveiling the Complexities of Compliance and Lab IT Lab IT management is vital for maintaining the integrity of laboratory operations. For scientists and pharmaceutical professionals navigating these systems and regulations can be hard work. Ensuring your lab is protected against cyber threats can be a daunting task but a necessary one. Laboratories can be …

Seeking ways to enhance efficiency to achieve higher productivity is the focus for laboratories performing Gas Chromatography (GC) and Liquid Chromatography (LC) analyses. At the heart of this pursuit Chromatography Data System (CDS) software plays a key role, offering a myriad of functionalities designed to simplify and optimize chromatography processes. From data acquisition tools to …

Today’s scientific lab leaders face mounting pressures to innovate and boost productivity while navigating stringent regulations. With tighter deadlines and increased budget scrutiny there is little room for distractions.  that take away time that could be spent on higher value activities. At PerkinElmer, we focus on providing solutions that reduce or eliminate tedious tasks which …

Global Trends and Sustainability of Mining Rare Earth Elements

Traditional liquid battery configurations, such as lithium-ion batteries (LIBs), can generate high amounts of pressure due to the swelling of electrodes and gas generation. Low pressures are considered desirable for battery systems as the cell pressure is transferred to the module and pack frame. Large forces, derived from these pressures, can lead to deformation of …

The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic resonated across industries, economies, and individual lives. And that triggered a shift in how businesses – including laboratories – operated. Contract testing laboratories faced their share of challenges, including supply chain shortages, logistics issues, and safety concerns for their staff. Even in the pandemic’s aftermath, testing labs continue to …

Microplastics in Air: Tiny Pollutants, Huge Consequences

When we think of plastic pollution, we’re likely to conjure up images of plastic litter in oceans or rivers. But there’s another, less visible form of plastic pollution that’s been gaining attention in recent years: microplastics in air. These tiny plastic particles – small enough to be inhaled – have become pervasive in the atmosphere, …

Every year, we create about 8.3 billion metric tons of plastic waste, and nine million tons of it finds its way into our oceans, lakes, rivers, and streams – and with a lifespan of up to 450 years, that constitutes lasting damage, no matter how you look at it. Much of that damage comes by …
