Hi montrellblundell,

 

I appreciate that this is very much a science related post, but we do have rules regarding links to external websites. Although it does contain some articles, the site you have linked appears to mostly be a front for selling scientific equipment. As such, we would ask that you please not link to it in the future. I have removed the link in this OP and the one in your other OP, however if you would like to post links to the actual papers concerned, you are of course most welcome to.
