Labmate online is a portal for lab equipment updates and articles originally featured in International Labmate, Labmate UK & Ireland and LabAsia. Our focus is to provide life science laboratory personnel and scientists working within industrial laboratories, hospital laboratories and governmental laboratories globally, with the latest information on equipment for their lab, articles and new developments. Each printed journal has a spotlight focus covering topics relating to laboratory apparatus; pumps and liquid handling, food and beverage analysis, sample preparation and processing, autoclave updates, cooling and freezing technology, luminescence, UV and image analysis. Chromatography and spectroscopy are covered in every issue and techniques in this separation science arena are the backbone of the Labmate portal. Throughout the year topics concerning nanotechnology and micro-technology, particle characterisation, biotechnology and immunology will all be reviewed. A special feature on supercritical Fluid technology will be a spotlight in the International Labmate journal, with Labmate UK and Ireland, LabAsia running spotlights on LIMS and laboratory automation, proteomics, genomics and microarrays, clinical and diagnostic products and pharmaceutical analysis. The Laboratory products section of labmate online covers a range of general life science lab equipment and lab apparatus. The product information we focus on is designed to assist scientists and lab technicians in comparing equipment for their lab. New lab products featured in this section include autoclaves, laboratory consumables, mixers, freezers and cell culture equipment for the field of life science.
