Addressing the Carbon Impact of Biotech & Pharma Research in 2024
Are research labs playing their part in stemming the rising tides of global climate change? Last month My Green Lab released their latest report on the carbon impact of biotech […]
Developing Your Mushroom Substrate Sterilization Procedures
Contamination is the most common source of failure in any mushroom crop. This especially affects slow-growing mushrooms with longer colonization times. The same characteristics that make mushroom substrate delicious to […]
Mycology Laboratory Equipment and Techniques: Pasteurizing Mushroom Substrates via “Cold Sterilization”
“Cold sterilization” is a perennial hot topic when it comes to sterilizing and pasteurizing mushroom substrates. This chemical-based process (usually using low-magnesium hydrated lime) seems like a “best of both […]
Propagation and Tissue Culture Labs—in Guyana and Beyond
Over the past decade plant tissue culture has been among the primary focuses of biotechnology in Guyana. This has largely been led by the National Agricultural Research and Extension Institute […]
Building Biotech Capacity in Guyana and the Global South
The Global South is playing an increasingly important role in the world economy. For example, while the Global South as a whole was only responsible for around 25% of total […]
Grain Sterilization for Mushroom Cultivation
Grain sterilization is vital to mushroom cultivation. Grain isn’t just a good high-nutrient addition to bulk substrates like sawdust or wood pellets. It’s also an ideal base for producing mushroom […]
Addressing Difficulties in Post-Pandemic Manufacturing World
The world is three years into a global pandemic. We’ve seen stunning examples of professional dedication, international cooperation, and medical advancement over the last several years. But we’ve also had […]
Culture Media Sterilization: How to Dispose of Polystyrene Agar Plates
The process for sterilizing and disposing of polystyrene agar plates should look familiar: culture media sterilization is already a step somewhere in any lab’s workflow already. Agar plates, like a […]
Good Laboratory Practice: Culture Media Sterilization
Too many labs belatedly discover that their culture media sterilization cycle is not actually sterilizing the load. Yes, the autoclave is reaching 121ºC and holding that temperature for 20 minutes. […]
Choosing the Best Pressure Sterilizer for Mushroom Cultivation
Too many mycology labs and mushroom growers end up with a sterilizer that costs too much and does too little. There are three key considerations when selecting a pressure sterilizer […]
We Need Sustainable Labs for Sustainable Research
The global consensus on climate change has grown increasingly dire. Nonetheless, a shocking percentage of “sustainable research” is done in labs that do not operate in an environmentally sustainable manner. […]
Sterilizing Vivariums Can Be Easier Than You Think
The miniature biome of a vivarium is a great way to isolate variables in animal research. But life is messy and vivariums can be a pain to get clean and […]
