Environmental instruments can easily get dirty during field use—algae, sediment, and debris can be tough to remove. It’s important to always clean your equipment after deployments or sampling trips to not only prevent cross-contamination between sites, but also to remove stuck-on dirt that could potentially interfere with calibrations or damage sensors.
For best practice, thoroughly clean your instrument and sensors before calibration, collecting measurements, and storage. For more information on how to store your instrument and sensors for short and long periods, check out our webinar, Storing for the Season, as well as our blog, Storing Water Quality Field Instruments for the Season, for a helpful written reference guide.
Read YSI's advice to you keep your sensors clean to improve both their longevity and performance.
Effective sample preparation is essential to enrich Microbiologically Influenced Corrosion (MIC)-related microbes while minimizing interference from the matrix. Traditional filtration methods often create bottlenecks due to the sample’s complexity.
But now, the InnovaPrep Concentrating Pipette™ gives your team a faster, more efficient way to concentrate microbes for MIC testing—without replacing your existing downstream analytical tools.
Already used in labs across environmental, energy, and defense sectors, the CP system is ready to elevate your lab’s throughput and confidence in results.
The InnovaPrep Concentrating Pipette (CP Select™) is an aut
In the ever-changing field of microbiology, understanding bacterial metabolism is crucial for diverse applications that range from drug development to environmental monitoring. This blog explores the different methods and techniques used in academic research laboratories and industry for measuring bacterial metabolism and highlights the added value of using microplate readers.
Bacterial metabolism spans the complex interconnected set of chemical reactions that support life in bacteria, ancient single-celled organisms that represent one of the most diverse forms of life on Earth. Bacterial metabolism is the foundation for bacterial growth and is inextricably linked to other organisms in the ecosystem.
Many applications in microbiology hinge on the monitoring of enzymatic reactions or the measurement of specific metabolites, enzyme concentrations, and chemical reactions involved in the molecular processes of life. They may also address crucial steps in the control of metabolism
Watch this short video from Shimadzu to learn how a broad range of analytical and material testing technologies can be used to characterize batteries, their components, and raw materials — and aid R&D, manufacturing, quality control, and recycling processes.
The technologies include physical testing, particle characterization, x-ray, microscopy, chromatography, spectroscopy, and surface analysis tools.

In this Shimadzu application note, a rapid LC-MS/MS method, with full separation of the two cyanotoxins and internal standards being achieved in only eight minutes, is highlighted. In addition to the fast run time, the method provides lower LOQ and a wider dynamic range than those reported in EPA Method 545, enabling samples with a broader range of concentrations to be analyzed in a single batch without the need of additional sample prep.
