Plasma Cleaning Does More With Less Water In a laboratory, water use is not only a utility question. Once water is mixed with cleaning chemicals, biological residues, reagents, or other process contaminants, it can become a waste-management question. Traditional...

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...

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...

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...

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,...

How Hydroxyl Radicals Do the Heavy Lifting When people hear “plasma cleaning,” it can sound abstract. In reality, the work is done by very real chemistry, especially by hydroxyl radicals (•OH). In IonField’s atmospheric plasma process, generated from room air, several...
