GESTER recently conducted a dynamic team building event designed to enhance collaboration, efficiency, and results. Employees were divided into competitive teams (ABBteam, Stormtroopers, Multi Happy Team, Advance Team) to share goals, experiences, and case analyses, receiving feedback from peers and senior industry judges. The structured activities, including presentations, Q&A sessions, and games, focused on revealing individual and group capabilities, fostering team spirit, and learning from expert insights. Employees gained valuable experience, clearer goals, and increased confidence. The event significantly strengthened team cohesion, unlocked potential, and generated new ideas for company benefit. GESTER also announced the exciting launch of the GESTER Business School in August, where employees will become teachers and students, sharing expertise in their fields for generous rewards, further promoting continuous learning and internal knowledge sharing.

Color stains are those that appear on the dyed fabric with regular, similar shape and size or irregular, irregular shape and size are not fixed, and the color of the dyed fabric is the same color.

CO2 incubators are categorized into water jacketed and air jacketed types based on heating systems. Water jacketed models use surrounding water layers for superior thermal uniformity and slower temperature loss during power outages, ideal for long-term cultures. Air jacketed incubators employ direct-heat technology for rapid temperature recovery and simpler maintenance, excelling in frequent-access applications. Both maintain critical cell growth conditions (37°C, 5% CO2, 95% humidity) for research in immunology, pharmaceuticals, and bioengineering.

Ensure optimal cell growth and equipment longevity with these essential CO2 incubator precautions. Covers installation requirements, water management, temperature/alarm protocols, CO2 gas safety, contamination control, disinfection methods, transport guidelines, and calibration checks. By GESTER, professional manufacturers of reliable Water Jacketed and Air Jacketed CO2 Incubators for laboratories.

Color fastness measures a fabric's resistance to fading or bleeding during washing, rubbing, light exposure, and perspiration. Poor fastness releases dyes and heavy metals, posing skin health risks and staining other garments. This guide covers essential tests (ISO, AATCC, JIS compliant), required equipment (e.g., GESTER washers, crockmeters, light testers), and industry standards for textiles like apparel, upholstery, and technical fabrics. Discover how proper testing ensures product safety, durability, and compliance.

This analysis examines key factors affecting fabric anti-pilling test grades, emphasizing service conditions (mechanical friction during wear/washing) and test methodology variations (circular trajectory, Martindale, pilling box, random tumble). For exporters, aligning with destination-country standards is critical to prevent losses. Solutions include optimized dyeing/finishing processes with tailored anti-pilling agents and strict adherence to client-specified testing protocols for accurate grading.
