From history of Halloween to modern-day trends like “Trick or Treat” or “Bobbing of Apples”, let’s take up the quiz and answer the terrifying trivia with some spooky quiz questions.
Working with pipettes and micropipettes is a core job for scientists/researchers/lab experts. No matter how amazing their hands might be, they aren’t nimble enough to properly handle the minuscule portions of liquids that need to be fed into test tubes. This is the reason scientists prefer using pipettes to transfer samples instead of traditional method of pouring them out by hand. As the laboratory’s demand for accuracy and precision grows, so does the importance of understanding and developing an optimal pipetting technique.

One such technology that revamped the healthcare industry in the past few years is the concept of the point-of-care system, better known as point-of-care technology. It is an advanced technology used to provide better care to the patient to improve the outcomes. Its most common examples are bedside terminals, hand-held tablets, PCs, and software that physicians and nurses use to capture all patient medical information and keep their health in check.
