The most common calibration-related FDA warnings to pharma companies
As consumers of the products from pharmaceutical companies, we all want to be sure that we can trust the products they produce. Fortunately, pharmaceutical companies are heavily regulated, and their operations are being constantly monitored. The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is the main authority that regularly audits pharma companies globally to ensure they are compliant. Every year, the FDA gives hundreds of warnings to pharma companies that fail to comply with regulations. So even they are not…
A very interesting paper: Lake Shore VSM aids in archaeomagnetic dating study
Published this week in PNAS and reported on by Phys.org as well as mass media, a new paper describes the use of geomagnetic field data to “reconstruct biblical military campaigns” – an interesting study, and one in which our Model 8604 VSM was used for certain supporting measurements.Source: Lakeshore…

So, what can service companies do to make their quotations more accurate and ensure work is carried out as consistently and efficiently as possible? The answer is to…
Measurement performance of our new 10-inch VSM — read the app note
For researchers requiring higher applied magnetic fields than our 4- and 7-inch 8600 Series VSMs, we now offer a 10-inch electromagnet version (Model 8610). Providing fields as high as 3.6 T (>36 kOe), it is particularly ideal for characterizing permanent magnet materials, such as rare-earth NdFeB magnets, which typically require large fields to saturate and demagnetize the materials.
