The resolutions and announcements of the TRSG (Technical Rules for Hazardous Substances) specify and summarize measures for handling hazardous substances. The storage class TRGS 510 refers to the storage of hazardous substances in portable containers. Read here how this technical regulation is structured and which specifications apply.
In chemistry, centrifugation is a process in which mixtures of substances are separated from one another by the application of centrifugal forces. This can be useful for various applications, such as the differential or analytical method. Find out here how a centrifuge works, what it is used for and what to look out for when handling the device.
In today's world, it is becoming increasingly difficult to keep up with the latest research and scientific information. If you want to learn about exciting topics in these fields without time-consuming reading, you can opt for a science podcast. Which exciting podcasts are worthwhile, which representatives are also suitable for children and where this format can be obtained, read here.
In mercury thermometers, expansion of the filler is used to accurately determine an external or body temperature. In the meantime, however, these thermometers are very rare - this is mainly due to the high health hazard. What a mercury thermometer is, how it works and what you should look out for in case of damage and disposal, we have briefly summarized for you in this blog.
With the 500 series, German laboratory furnace manufacturer Naberthem is launching a new controller that can be used to operate and check this manufacturer's furnaces. In addition to the app-driven operation and simple control, the documentation options are also innovative. We have summarized here the advantages of the Controller Series 500, which variants are available and why the purchase of a Nabertherm product is worthwhile.
Dangerous goods class 7 includes substances and objects with radioactive materials. According to the Federal Office for Radiation Protection, around 420,000 people in Germany have to deal with these materials every year - think of X-ray equipment, for example. In this blog post, we have summarized how representatives of dangerous goods class 7 are defined, which subclasses there are and what to look out for during transport and in the event of damage.
Not all disinfection is the same - different types and procedures can be distinguished that are related to the killing and inactivation of pathogens. How the definition of "disinfection" can be distinguished from cleaning and sterilization, which techniques are differentiated and what you should pay attention to when disinfecting, we have summarized compactly for you in this blog post.
For safe transport, hazardous substances are divided into dangerous goods classes. Dangerous goods class 5 focuses on substances that have an igniting or oxidizing effect, whereby these are differentiated into two subclasses. In this blog post, we have summarized which substances belong to dangerous goods class 5, how the subclasses are divided, and what you need to pay attention to when labeling and transporting them.
The process of sterilization is used to sterilize surfaces and objects - which is essential in many areas. This effectively kills harmful microorganisms and pathogens. In this blog post, we have summarized how the definition of sterilization differs from cleaning and disinfection, which materials can be sterilized and which processes are suitable in each case.
