Why Thanksgiving Dinner Makes You Sleepy:

The Science Behind the Post-Feast Fatigue

Every Thanksgiving, even the most caffeinated scientist finds themselves slipping into an unscheduled nap on the couch, wondering if the turkey’s tryptophan is to blame. While it’s tempting to assign responsibility to the bird, the truth is more nuanced—and less feathered. Turkey does contain tryptophan, the amino acid precursor to serotonin and melatonin, but no more than your average chicken sandwich. The real culprit is the mountain of carbohydrates beside it: stuffing, mashed potatoes, rolls, and pie. This carb surge triggers insulin release, which helps tryptophan sneak past the blood-brain barrier, ultimately boosting serotonin and melatonin levels. In short, it’s not the turkey’s fault—it’s the company it keeps on your plate. READ MORE!

Where Vacuum Meets Application:

Vacuum Concentrators

Vacuum concentration is all about removing solvents while keeping your samples intact. By lowering the boiling point through controlled vacuum pressure, solvents can be efficiently evaporated at gentle temperatures, preserving sensitive compounds and improving reproducibility.

Whether you’re concentrating biological samples, preparing analytical runs, or purifying extracts, precise vacuum control keeps your process efficient and reliable. The right pump helps balance pressure, heat, and solvent recovery, reducing sample loss and saving valuable time in the lab.

Explore how the right vacuum system can elevate your concentration process. 

Enhancing Accuracy from Plant to Product

Cannabis testing labs face unique challenges, from measuring cannabinoid potency to screening for contaminants and ensuring regulatory compliance. The diverse analyses require sensitive, high-performance cannabis testing instruments like High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC), Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS), and Inductively Coupled Plasma-Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS), which in turn rely on dependable support equipment like vacuum pumps and precision liquid handling tools.

Mastering the Art of Pipetting:

Handling Challenging Liquids with Confidence

Whether you are pipetting viscous solutions, volatile compounds, or liquids prone to foaming, achieving accurate results can be tricky. Even small variations in density, temperature, or surface tension can impact your measurements. To help laboratory professionals overcome these challenges, BRANDTECH®  has released a new resource: The Challenges of Pipetting.

What You Will Learn

• How liquid properties affect accuracy – including high/low density, viscosity, volatility, and temperature differences.
• Forward vs. reverse pipetting – when to use each technique for optimal precision.
• Tips to improve results – such as pre-wetting the air cushion, pipetting slowly, or using filter tips.
