Equipment down time is never part of an experimental plan, but the reality is assembly instructions aren’t always clear, equipment needs to be maintained, and components need to be replaced with wear. Or maybe, you’ve inherited a product and just aren’t sure whether you have all of the components or it’s in a ready state for use. Whether you’re a new user navigating initial start up, or a long time user in the middle of an experiment in need of immediate assistance, following paper manuals, written instructions, or waiting for a response can be trying.

November 12, 2021Tangential Flow Filtration (TFF), or Crossflow Filtration, is a physical separation technique that uses the size difference between the liquid particles and the membrane pores to separate them. A substantial distinction is established between ceramic (inorganic) and polymeric (organic) materials in the manufacture of TFF membranes. To address the restrictions of polymeric membranes, ceramic membranes were created in the 1980s, allowing TFF to be used in additional applications. Initially developed for its use in extreme conditions, ceramics have become mainstay membranes in a number of industries, including environmental, food and beverage, biopharma, chemical, gas, and electronics. However, costs associated with evaluating at scale may deter new users.

October 13, 2021Priorities change as science evolves; shouldn’t your lab equipment too? Sterlitech’s innovative Convertible Skid incorporates multiple pumps, liquid tanks, pressure and temperature controls that enable its users to operate in multiple modes: pressure-driven membrane filtration (Reverse Osmosis, Microfiltration, Ultrafiltration, and Nanofiltration), osmotically-driven (Forward Osmosis), and temperature-driven (Membrane Distillation) processes.

August 13, 2021Summary:Tissue engineering is a broad, interdisciplinary field that has contributed significant progress to regenerative medicine, drug discovery, and disease pathology. While tissue engineering (TE) is complex and highly variable in practice, the TE paradigm relies on three essential steps, namely scaffolding, seeding, and stimuli.

Many of our customers are running multiple tests simultaneously. Their bench tops are covered in manifolds, tubing, flasks, and a pump; space is limited. Test results need to be recorded. Membranes need to be changed. Funnels need to be refilled with solution. Time to repeat.
