When trying to mimic environmental conditions in a lab, a myriad of factors come into play. From pH to temperature, nutrient levels to salinity, many parameters must be considered. In recent years, bioremediation has become popular as a means of environmental pollution cleanup, especially in marine environments. One bioremediation technique is to utilise bacteria…
In hospitals, intravenous (IV) solutions, such as saline or prescription drugs are commonly administered to patients for various therapies. IVs are used to deliver medications, replace fluids, balance electrolytes, and many other treatments. Since the solutions are introduced directly into the blood stream, the more similar in ionic strength the solutions are to the blood,…
Many foods we eat contain a variety of sweeteners, from natural sweeteners such as honey and molasses to refined sugars like granulated table sugar. In the 1970s, the development of high fructose corn syrup shifted food manufacturers away from using refined sugar in their products. High fructose corn syrup was an attractive alternative due to…
At the heart of every cold beer is the world’s greatest resource, water. It not only affects the flavour but also impacts the amount of chemicals necessary in order to achieve the 5.2 pH in mash, and throughout the entire brewing process. Understanding the quality of a brews’ starting water is critical to determining the…
Spinning wool into yarn to be woven into cloth predates 10,000 BC. Exportation of wool products began as early as 55 BC in Great Britain. Today, the wool industry circumnavigates the globe; the durable and water resistant properties of wool make it a very popular textile fibre. The wool refinement process begins with sheep (or another wooly…
In hydroponic growing systems, plants are grown in a soilless environment and receive all essential nutrients from a nutrient solution. These nutrient solutions are closely monitored for pH, EC/TDS, and specific nutrient concentrations; however, one parameter that is often overlooked is oxygen. Oxygen is essential for the development of a healthy root system, both for…
