What It Means to Turn Consumables into Operational Infrastructure Pipette tips, microplates, reservoirs, tubes, and seals are purchased, stocked, used, discarded, and reordered. They are essential to the work, but they are rarely thought of as part of the lab’s core... by Malcolm Slaney | May 18, 2026 | Sustainability
Which Lab Consumables Are Most Exposed to Resin Market Risk? Plastic labware is often treated as a stable, predictable operating expense. A lab orders tips, plates, tubes, reservoirs, and seals because the work requires them. But behind that routine purchasing process... by Malcolm Slaney | May 4, 2026 | Plasma Cleaning
Why Microplates Are Built for Reuse Microplates sit at the center of modern lab workflows. They are everywhere: screening, assays, storage, analysis, and yet they’re still treated as single-use consumables. That assumption is starting to break. Not because labs... by Malcolm Slaney | Apr 20, 2026 | Plasma Cleaning, Sustainability
Circular Labs Are Resilient Labs Circularity in the lab is usually framed as a sustainability initiative. Reduce waste. Lower emissions. Do the right thing. All true. But it misses the bigger point. Circularity is not just about sustainability. It is about control. In... by Malcolm Slaney | Apr 6, 2026 | Plasma Cleaning
What Actually Happens to Contaminants During Plasma Cleaning On plastic labware, residues aren’t just sitting inertly on the surface. Proteins adsorb and partially unfold. DNA can entangle and bind. Lipids spread into thin, persistent films. On top of that,...
