Iranian Scientist’s Invention Prevents Water Wastage, Breakage of Containers in Labs
“Due to the lack of control in the electrical measurement of pressure and temperature in the laboratory environment and using laboratory glassware, the laboratory containers are broken sometimes and also a lot of water is used to cool the glasses during the experiment,” Medisa Kamari, a Ph.D. student of Analytical Chemistry at Islamic Azad University’s Ilam Branch, told ANA.
“Therefore, we decided to create a system to increase the safety level of tests that are performed at high temperature and pressure, and completely omitted water to cool and control the test until reaching the product. Some features of other devices in the laboratory to this device, which causes simultaneous use, increases the speed of the experiment, and eliminates the need for laboratories to use several devices,” she added.
Kamari described full elimination of water for cooling, preventing water wastage, temperature measurement and control, system pressure measurement and control, the possibility for emergency temperature and pressure reduction, and the simultaneous use of shaker and ultrasonic as the advantages of the new device.
A laboratory network has been formed in Iran with the aim of creating a suitable platform for providing laboratory services to academic and industrial researchers and using the country's laboratory capacities better.
The network created under the supervision of the Nanotechnology Development Headquarters of the Iranian Vice-Presidency for Science, Technology and Knowledge-Based Economy is aimed at sharing laboratory devices and services and help researchers have better access to these infrastructures and services.
At present, 2,830 nanotech-related devices are providing services in 87 research laboratories in universities and the private sector within the framework of a nanotechnology laboratory network.
Meantime, 226 advanced nanotech-related devices have been manufactured by 61 Iranian companies.
