Beneficial and Detrimental Roles of Microorganisms
Microorganisms occupy every small niche of the ecosystem and influence us in many ways. Their influence on human life is generally beneficial but at times can also be detrimental.
Which is the best available option for storage of Laboratory Chemicals?
On entering any laboratory you will come across chemicals and reagents stocked on workbench platforms and sidewall shelves.
What are the key activities in a Microbiology laboratory?
Microbiological laboratories are involved primarily in culturing, examination and identification of microorganisms.
Analytical Instruments
Sophisticated analytical instruments cost a fortune and therefore require careful handling and care. This ensures consistency of results and low maintenance costs
Analytical Measurement
Analytical measurement may appear to be simple but present a significant potential for errors because they involve several stages from sample collection to sample processing and final observation.
laboratory refrigerator
Laboratory refrigerator frankly speaking is no different from a domestic refrigerator. The difference lies in its usage and calibration requirements.
Familiarize with culture media-the growth and survival media of microorganisms
The artificial culture and maintenance of microorganisms is the basic necessity of the modern day research in microbiology.
How to improve Laboratory Productivity through planned Sample Analysis Sequencing?
The present article will cover benefits of analysis sequencing. However, before starting the analysis you should be aware of the nature of sample and analysis requirements.
Uncertainty of measurements – How to quantify ambiguity of your results?
Measurement is truly valid if it is accompanied by definition of degree of uncertainty.
Microbial growth
Microbial growth actually refers to increase in numbers of the cells. The requirements for microbial growth can be divided into two main categories: physical and chemical.
LOD
Limit of detection (LOD) is defined as the lowest quantity of the analyte substance that produces a signal at least three times the average noise level of the detector.
How good hygiene practices contribute to laboratory safety and quality of results?
Laboratory safety measures undoubtedly contribute to an accident free environment but good hygiene practices supplement it with higher productivity and health of laboratory workers.
Temperature and Humidity
In addition to a dust free environment temperature and humidity are important parameters that require to be controlled in the laboratory.
Prokaryotic Cell Structure, Characteristics & Function
A prokaryotic cell contains external and internal structures. Capsule, flagella, axial filaments, fimbriae, and pili are present external to the cellwall. Read more..
Analytical results
The results of analysis are expressed by two quantities. First is the numerical quantity and the other is a unit of measurement.
General Classification and Characterization of Microorganism
Classification of living organisms is referred to as taxonomy and it aims to classify living organisms by differentiating them and establishing relationships between groups of organisms.
Observing Microorganism
Microorganisms are observed and studied with the help of microscopes. However the bacteria have nearly the same refractive index as water, which makes them
Components & Types of Microscopes | Microbiology
Microorganisms are too minute in size to be seen by unaided eyes, they are observed & studied using microscopes. Explore components & types of microscopes.
Introduction to Microbiology
Microbiology is the study of microscopic living organisms, the microbes that are usually too small to be seen with the unaided eye.
Training & Development
The present article will offer justifications to motivate laboratories and individuals to embark upon sustained growth through training & development activities.
Laboratory Operations

Why Are Instrument Log Entries Necessary?
Instrument records, if properly maintained will save your hours of valuable time. Read more about the importance of instrument log entries.
Why is it Essential to regulate Visitor entry to your Laboratory?
Your laboratory is a controlled environment where conditions such as temperature, humidity, air- conditioning, external vibrations, biological sterility, stable power supply, etc need careful monitoring and control to get consistency of results day after day.
