Stationery, books & lab notebooks

A good lab notebook has numbered pages, so no page can be removed unnoticed, and a fixed binding rather than loose sheets. Acid-free paper keeps entries readable for many years, and a grid helps with sketches, tables and calculations. Check these features on the product page, as with the laboratory notebook, blue, numbered, acid-free. Write in permanent ink, date every entry and cross out errors with a single line instead of erasing them, so the original stays readable. Suitable pens are in markers and pens. Questions? Ask sales@luminixhealth.com.

For permanent marking on glass, use a diamond pen, which scratches the surface and cannot be washed off, such as the glass-writing diamond pen, about 15 cm. An engraving pen does the same on metal and hard plastics, like the engraving pen. For marking that you can remove later, use a solvent-resistant marker made for lab use; ordinary markers fade with alcohol or in the freezer. On curved or wet surfaces, a label often holds better than ink; see laboratory labels. Questions? Ask sales@luminixhealth.com.

In a cleanroom or other controlled area, yes. Ordinary paper sheds fibres and particles every time you write, tear or turn a page, and that contaminates the room and your product. Cleanroom materials are low-linting and often packed for controlled areas: notepads, work pads, tape and labels. A sterile work pad, such as the clean-room work pad, sterile, 560 × 410 mm, gives a clean surface for working. Combine these with the right garments and accessories from cleanroom garments and accessories. Tell us your cleanroom class: sales@luminixhealth.com.

Use lens paper. It is lint-free and soft, so it removes dust and fingerprints from lenses, objectives and optical glass without leaving fibres or scratching coatings, as with the lens paper for cleaning optical glass, 500 sheets. Ordinary tissue contains fibres and sometimes additives that leave residues and can scratch over time. Blow off loose dust first, then wipe gently with a fresh sheet, if needed with a little lens cleaner. For general wiping of benches and equipment, see wipes, tissues and paper towels. Questions?

A laboratory notebook is the bound record of what was done, in an order that cannot be quietly rewritten. Loose paper is not that record. The page has to survive the bench, including a splash.

The small tools of the bench are what the hand actually holds: a spatula for a powder, forceps for an object that must stay clean, a brush for a narrow neck, a desiccator when a dried sample must not take up water again. None of these reads a measurement. They keep the measurement possible. The apparatus around them is listed under ISO laboratory apparatus.
