Revolutionise Your Lab with SLS: Ten Sustainable Choices for the Eco-Conscious Scientist

In an era where both sustainability and cost- effectiveness hold great importance, laboratories can find a balance. From Scientific Laboratory Supplies (SLS), here are ten options to go green without financial strain, seamlessly aligning environmental responsibility without straining your budget.

Improve Your Cold Storage with Lec Medical Fridges: Connect for Enhanced Temperature Monitoring and Control

Why connect a fridge?

Current guidance states that fridge temperatures should be recorded a minimum of twice per day and data should be kept for 5 years. This has historically been a manual paper-based recording system, which requires physical appliance interaction and record storage.

ULT Freezer best practice: Keep the door seal clean and unobstructed

Keeping the door seal clean, unobstructed and intact helps to keep the ULT freezer chamber at the desired set temperature and reduces the build up of ice. 

Happy 33rd Launch Anniversary to the Hubble Space Telescope!

Originally conceived in the 1940s as the Large Space Telescope, Hubble's launch on April 24, 1990 marked decades of planning and research.

Despite some initial setbacks and issues with the telescope's optics, Hubble has since become one of the most productive and influential scientific instruments of all time.

Over the past three decades, Hubble has made countless groundbreaking observations, revolutionising our understanding of the universe. From measuring the expansion rate of the universe to discovering dark energy, Hubble has contributed to some of the most significant scientific discoveries of the 21st century.

Hubble has also captured stunning images of galaxies, nebulae, and other celestial objects that have inspired people around the world. The telescope's ability to see deep into space has allowed us to witness incredible events such as the birth of stars and the collision of galaxies.

ULT Freezer best practice: Ambient air temperature

Keep in mind the ambient air temperature when choosing a location for your freezer 

During the case study the F570h was tested in a colder freezer room. The temperature in the freezer room was measured as 20°C(+/-1°C).

Amendment to Direct Supplier Wet/Dry Ice Delivery Charges

Due to increased charges by our direct suppliers, the additional charge for Wet/Dry Ice will be £50.00 from May 18th 2023.

Defrost the Freezer Regularly to Prevent a Build-up of Frost

Failing to regularly defrost your ULT Freezer can lead to a build-up of frost, resulting in increased energy consumption and poor operational practices.

Eppendorf - Can research be sustainable? We say YES!

There are often many questions at the beginning of a young scientist's academic career. No matter what your field is - the microbiome, virology, or any of the many other branches of science - one of the most important questions to ask is, "What impact will my science have on our lives and on this world?"

And perhaps the next question is, "How can I specify my science's environmental impact?"

High consumption of plastic consumables in everyday lab life needs to be addressed. How can we replace fossil-based plastic with an alternative that doesn't consume resources or pollute the environment? Solutions exist, so let's reduce plastic use.
