Laboratory Products 47 Sustainable sample storage consumables
Azenta Life Sciences is stepping up its commitment to sustainable science by increasing the use of recycled polypropylene in its FluidX sample storage consumables range. Starting in January 2025, all SBS tube rack bases will be made from up to 90% recycled polypropylene, sourced from repurposed material generated during the production of FluidX sample storage tubes. This recycled material meets the same high-quality standards as existing racks, ensuring reliable and consistent performance.
Alexis MacLeod, Global Product Manager, commented: “This transition to recycled polypropylene supports Azenta’s Environmental and Social Governance (ESG) goals, creating a more sustainable product. By reducing waste and decreasing reliance on virgin polypropylene, we continue to provide the high-quality solutions our customers expect while promoting responsible environmental practices for a more sustainable future.”
Azenta Life Sciences’ advanced manufacturing process ensures unparalleled sample audit traceability, enabling seamless tracking and data sharing across multiple users, labs, and locations. The company serves industries such as biobanking, compound management, consumer genomics, synthetic biology, and basic research, with a continued focus on exceptional customer service, support, and product quality.

Five-year warranty for constant temperature equipment
Comparing clamp-on and in-line ultrasonic flow meters
Titan Enterprises provides an in-depth comparison between clamp-on and in-line ultrasonic flow meters, examining their respective advantages and limitations, and helping industries choose the most suitable device for their flow measurement applications.
Ultrasonic flow meters are an advanced solution for precise flow measurement. They operate without any moving parts, using ultrasound to determine the velocity of a fluid flowing through a pipe. This allows for accurate volumetric flow measurement. Ultrasonic flow meters fall into two categories: Transit-Time or ‘time-of-flight’ meters, which measure the time difference between ultrasonic pulses sent in the direction of the flow and against it, and Doppler meters, which measure the frequency shift of ultrasonic signals reflected by particles or bubbles in the fluid.
Lauda Dr R. Wobser GmbH & Co KG, the global leader in precise temperature control solutions, has launched a comprehensive five-year warranty for its registered constant temperature equipment. This move highlights the company’s unwavering dedication to quality, reliability, and customer satisfaction.
“We’re so confident in the durability and performance of our products that we are offering a five-year warranty on registered constant temperature devices,” said Dr Gunther Wobser, President & CEO of Lauda. “This warranty reinforces our commitment to maintaining the highest standards in temperature control technology and ensures our customers can rely on our solutions for years to come.”
The five-year warranty covers a wide range of constant temperature equipment, including the latest Lauda Universa bath thermostats. To qualify, customers must register their equipment within three months of delivery via the easy-to- use
LAUDA.LIVE Services platform. The warranty includes labour and material costs for repairs when the terms are met, such as purchasing from Lauda or authorised partners and using Lauda heat transfer liquids exclusively.
This warranty is available in all participating countries, with repairs handled either at Lauda’s headquarters in Lauda-Königshofen or by authorised service partners. “This warranty is not only a reflection of our product quality but also demonstrates our strong customer service philosophy,” added Dr Wobser. “Our customers can trust that their Lauda temperature control systems will operate reliably for many years.”
The new warranty is part of Lauda’s broader sustainability efforts, applying to the latest generation of constant temperature devices that utilise natural refrigerants. By offering this extended coverage, Lauda combines sustainability with long-term durability, continuing to lead the market in both technological innovation and environmental responsibility.

Ultrasonic flow meters can be either clamp-on or in-line, each offering distinct benefits for different applications. In-line meters are inserted into the pipe and provide high accuracy by measuring the entire cross-section of the pipe. These meters are ideal for applications requiring precise, long-term measurement. They can be independently calibrated and offer stable, reliable performance over time. In- line meters are also available in various technologies such as turbine, magnetic, and vortex, although ultrasonic in-line meters are preferable for minimal flow restriction. However, installation can be complex and costly, requiring pipe modifications and potential downtime. Maintenance can also be difficult, as it may involve shutting down the process to access the pipeline.
Clamp-on ultrasonic flow meters, on the other hand, are externally installed, offering a non-invasive solution that doesn’t require altering the pipeline. These flow meters are easy to install and maintain, making them ideal for applications where the process cannot be interrupted. They are portable, cost-effective, and can be used for spot checks or temporary installations. However, clamp-on meters are typically less accurate than in-line devices, as they rely on external measurements and are affected by pipe conditions, such as thickness, material, and internal deposits. They are also prone to signal interference and require careful placement to avoid errors.
The choice between in-line and clamp-on ultrasonic flow meters depends on specific application needs, including accuracy, installation complexity, and maintenance requirements. Titan Enterprises offers in-line ultrasonic flow meters that utilise patented ‘time-of-flight’ technology, ensuring excellent accuracy across a wide range of liquid flow rates, from 2 ml/min to 20 l/min, making them ideal for a variety of industries.
