What’s the difference between Laminar Flow Hoods and Biosafety Cabinets? Well, both serve functions in maintaining the integrity of experiments and protecting researchers. In short, Laminar Flow Hoods maintain sterility with clean airflow. Biosafety Cabinets provide added protection, shielding against biohazards and ensuring personnel safety. Laminar Flow Hoods are for contamination control; Biosafety Cabinets are […]
In any lab work, including mycology, precision, and a sterile environment are the foundations of success. Your choice of lab equipment makes all the difference. Among the tools used in mushroom cultivation are impulse sealers. The impulse sealers available in our shop are budget-friendly, and essential, especially for small mushroom farms and hobbyists. In this […]
Mycology, the scientific study of fungi, has captivated researchers and hobbyists alike for centuries, including me. One of the key techniques mycologists use in their research to understand fungi and cultivating mushrooms is the use of agar. So, why do we mycologists consider agar an indispensable component of the mushroom cultivation process? Good question. Here’s […]
Plant tissue cultures have revolutionized agricultural research, plant breeding, and biotechnology by enabling the propagation and manipulation of plant cells in a controlled environment. Maintaining a sterile and contamination-free workspace in plant tissue culture experiments is needed for the success and accuracy of results. FloCube Flow Hoods have emerged as a game-changer to the industry […]
In any research or experiment involving agar, maintaining a contamination-free work environment helps to achieve accurate, and, most importantly, reproducible results. The smallest introduction of unwanted microorganisms negatively impacts experiments and hinders progress. Here at FloCube we’re on a mission to help you create a contam-free work area for any and all research. We specialize […]
Cobweb Mold (Hypomyces rosellus) is one of the most common fungal pathogens that poses a significant threat to mushroom cultivation. It thrives in still air which makes it a greater threat to grain jars, substrate bags, and monotubs. It grows quickly. And when I say quickly, I mean it can go from the size of […]
