Hi Attila, First using adhesive seals and handling them seams to be a tricky problem (flying to the moon should be easier). We use this Plate sealer (it is...

Hello, Some time ago when I was a wee nipper (well 21 ;) ), we used to have carboy trolleys (I think a trolley is a cart in N. America?) which were circular...

I tried searching Labhoo.com, which is good for lab supplies, but no luck on the five or six sites listing carboys. If you search "carboy cart" on Google ("...
Hi Niel, You could try the RubberMaid corp. At my last job (HyClone) we used them to transport 55gal and 30gal sized drums around. They may not be a perfect...
This question reminds me of my initial exposure to lab automation. Our group performed tablet dissolution testing manually and after months of shopping...

Hi Greg, Slim choices, that I know of. It might be worth seeing if one of the tip companies would run a custom. * USA Scienfic has 1000's with barriers, but...

As Wes noted, DMSO by itself is not an especially bad actor. However, because it is so readily absorbed throught the skin, you have to be cautious with...
The problem with handling DMSO has to do with what's dissolved in it as much as, if not more than the solvent itself. DMSO can penetrate skin easily (which is...
