Have You Ever Wondered Why Changing Your Engine Oil Is So Important?

Regular oil changes are essential for engine health, as degraded oil loses its ability to lubricate, cool, and protect, leading to wear, corrosion, sludge buildup, and overheating. The Total Acid Number (TAN) indicates oil acidity and degradation, measured through titration. Accurate TAN testing relies on certified reference materials. ARO provides high-quality reference materials for this purpose, and ESSLAB supplies ARO products to ensure reliable oil analysis. Regular testing helps extend engine life and optimize maintenance.

Analysing the Efficacy of Oral Drug Formulations following Bariatric Surgery -The Crucial Role of Artificial Gastric and Intestinal Fluids in Drug Development.

In pharmaceutical R&D, artificial gastric and intestinal fluids are essential for simulating human digestive conditions during in-vitro dissolution testing. These fluids, replicating physiological pH and enzyme content, help assess how drugs dissolve and absorb—crucial for efficacy and safety. Pickering Laboratories offers USP-compliant formulations, aiding accurate quality control. Such testing is especially vital for patients with altered GI physiology, like those post-bariatric surgery, which can impact drug absorption, including oral contraceptives. ESSLAB supports these efforts by partnering with Pickering to enhance drug development accuracy and ensure effective medication performance under varied physiological conditions.
