How the lab ecosystem shapes bench outcomes
July 20, 2026
Science depends for its validity upon standardised methods, good controls and reproducibility. That won’t happen if you don’t ensure you are working in a secure laboratory environment, reminds Rachel Sully. Scientists carefully control reagents, instruments and protocols, but often forget the physical environments these protocols are carried out in can influence the results. Laboratory layout, […]
Rethinking healthcare data governance
July 20, 2026
The recent UK Biobank breach created alarm within a medical sector embracing data digitalisation. The answer, says Ángel Alberich-Bayarri, is to apply better controls. The recent UK Biobank data breach has understandably triggered concern about how medical data is accessed, shared and protected in the UK. Calls to restrict the use of health data, even […]

An alternative solution to rotary evaporators for solvent evaporation
June 23, 2026
Concentrators (nitrogen blowdown concentrators) are increasingly used as an alternative to rotary evaporators because they evaporate solvents quickly while saving valuable laboratory space. Evaporation is accelerated by lowering the solvent’s partial vapour pressure above the liquid surface. These systems use either a heated water bath or dry block heating with programmable temperatures, combined with a […]
