Every living bug has a personal scent - a blend of pheromones that generally acts as a personal "name", or "voice", in pheromonal communication. In social bugs, this tends to be stronger. As communication via pheromone is extremely species-specific, learning to manipulate them in more detail than some basic altering your expression of any given emotion tends to be something of a niche skill set, particularly among solitary bugs. It's most commonly learned for in-species communication, or by the bugs responsible for putting up pheromone signage in social-bug-heavy areas, but also has some fairly wide utility in less legal manners.
As pheromones are highly specific by bug, a bug of one species may have significant difficulty parsing the pheromones of a bug of another species. While social bugs in hives and colonies generally have something of an instinctive grasp of what various pheromones mean, and will often pick them up as part of communication among themselves, solitary bugs tend to be significantly less sensitive to them, and may struggle to distinguish between similar pheromone signals even if they know what both mean.
As a consequence of this, the vast majority of signage within a hive or colony can be wholly illegible to a solitary bug, even if it is perfectly clear to the hive's inhabitants. Bugs with reduced sensitivity to key pheromones used in social signalling can also suffer from this, particularly in places where pheromone signage can be important to operation. While these can be learned over time, unfortunately, it isn't always enough to make up for the social impacts.
Though it is possible to learn to suppress your personal scent, it isn't a widely distributed skill, and it's associated with criminals more than anything else - on a similar level to learning to lockpick, it's a cool trick to show off that also has a solid chance of getting your coworkers to ask you if you've stolen anything recently. Though suppression can make your scent more subtle, it can't eliminate it entirely, and most bugs who are seriously concerned about hiding their identities will wear some sort of masker to confuse their scent.
Monsieur Scarlet, due to a side effect of his personal flavor of mage, is capable of cutting off his own pheromone production entirely, or selectively shutting off specific pheromones. To other bugs, this will smell uncannily "blank". Since pheromones are still the main means through which bugs will communicate emotions, even beyond being a personal identifier, it's sort of like someone's face... slipped off, and there was just a void where it used to be.
Along with his short-range teleportation tricks, this makes him very good at slipping a tail, but also works against him in being an extremely distinctive trait that's very prone to freaking people out. Generally, you don't stop producing your personal pheromones until you die- but he's not producing a dead-ant smell, and he's very clearly up and moving, just lacking any personal scent. It's prone to tripping a sense that something is horribly, unnaturally wrong. Also, it's not very good for his body to stop making a bunch of major compounds. Generally, he'll opt more for things like cutting out stress pheromones than taking out everything.
#we speak#bug fables#headcanons#writing#woe! pheromone headcanons be upon ye#fun fact because the snakemouth den strain takes from bee ant moth and (a blend of more than a dozen species of) beetle#the symbiotes tend to have Excellent pheromone sensitivity and a range of potential pheromones they Can put off much more dense than averag#this is mostly due to attempts to make the separate strains of cordyceps compatible enough to not violently clash#those who remain in the lab have further improved this range though leif is more or less limited to just that handful of species#however since they use all of these various types of pheromones they end up with a mishmash that is... difficult to read to other bugs#in-colony communications can be Extremely information dense and utilize sound alongside crystal transmission and pheromone#and occasionally gesture#often at the same time. generally blended into the same general tongue. it's efficient to the cordyceps and just about no one else

genuinely appreciate the fact that i still study w physical textbooks and use sticky notes. the neuro clinic i'm interning at uses binders for patients and also uses paper for initial data entry and idk holding an actual pen and flipping through actual pages is so healing to me
#granted it's been a year?? i think even longer?#since i switched to an ipad#and it has been super efficient and just makes sense#but i can never let go of actual paper. sometimes i even do active recall in a random physical notebook for fun#my orgo lab assigns a notebook to each lab worker too so it's nice writing in there#i don't think i can fully go physical like my ipad was such a game changer#but this hybrid style is doing it for me and makes me retain info best i think

Frustrating when a VC-funded company gets credit for being the "first" and the "leader," when they had a sub-component demo the same week we had a full-system demo. Like, we are easily 5-10 years ahead of them, it's ridiculous; their approach isn't even yet proven to work. But they get science youtubers talking about them.
Because they're VC-funded, they have a marketing/press department.
And because we're an employee-owned company working off of government contracts, well, most government contracts get slapped with an ITAR label (an old Cold-War-era law saying basically sharing scientific information counts as illegally selling arms/munitions). So if you want to publicize your work, including your company's products, you have to appeal that label. (Universities have specifically negotiated a blanket exemption, so if you spend your whole life in academic science you might never even know about this.)
(My previous employer filed those appeals several times a year in order to do press releases and publish journal articles and apply for patents. I think every single information-release appeal they filed went through, because there's no reason any of this stuff should be labeled as arms--it's literally the same stuff universities are doing. My current employer is afraid to, which I think is wrong-headed; at worst they'll just say no, and anyway, our non-restricted competitors are giving fucking lab tours to youtubers.)
#these restrictions mean you also can't have employees on visas working on these projects#my previous employer tried to appeal that too and failed--they were only able to appeal the dissemination of information part#so we had locked labs that my international coworkers weren't allowed in#(one got a green card and was allowed in eventually)#ironically the VC-funded company is doing it the same way I did it in my PhD thesis#two other people at the company did this stuff in their post-docs#all of us are over 40 (one guy is over 50 I'm pretty sure) so this is not a new technique--I got two MINOR papers on it 16 years ago#the MAJOR papers are like 25 years old#and we're all convinced it's NOT the right approach#granted the technique we are using is about 30 years old#in my literal thesis defense one of my committee members asked why I was using the technique the VC companies are now using#and if I had done the math to prove it was superior to the older technique#and I was like--everyone knows the new technique is superior that's why it's trendy#and my advisor (who was a genius) said the same thing and that it wasn't a fair question#but the guy who asked it was an ancient theorist who REALLY knew what he was talking about#and in retrospect he was completely right--I should have done the math comparing the techniques and the older technique IS better#a few weeks into my job here I did the math and found that if you use the BEST version of the new technique--one that only one group#has demonstrated can even be done and they didn't get all the way to the point of demonstrating an application like this#and you assume some generous efficiency numbers#it breaks even with the old technique#that's not what this VC group is doing so... not a chance lol

do you ever think about how batman AND spider-man would be considered villains by MHA standards
#real life with risa#x-men but anime#I think Vigilantes made that eventually kinda change???#but definitely NOT right away#like brother ew#you based so much of your mc off of spider-man and yet created a society in which spider-man would probably be shot and assassinated#by the Commission for working too efficiently outside of the system#extremely wild decision making#should be studied in a lab

5 Key Advantages of Using the VJ Instruments Spheronizer in the Laboratory
The efficiency of a laboratory is not only about the right procedures but also about the right instruments. The VJ Instruments Spheronizer is one giant leap forward for particle processing technology designed to help revolutionize your viewpoint on pelletization and spheronization processes in your laboratories. Understanding just how this technology is possible by way of the innovative instrument will really make a difference in your operations, whether you happen to be in pharmaceutical development, chemical processing, or materials science.
What is a Spheronizer, and Why Should You Care?
A Spheronizer, also known as a marumerizer, is one of the laboratory instruments designed to transform cylindrical pellets into highly uniform spherical particles. A typical example is the VJ Instruments model, that represents more accurate precision engineering with advanced control systems compared to a basic concept.
The device core is essentially a rotating friction plate with an unusual geometric pattern, which, combined with centrifugal force, transforms all kinds of irregular particles into perfect spheres.
So, why in the world should the shape of these particles matter? Well, it is all connected with how spherical particles may interact in applications from controlled drug release in pharmaceuticals to predictable flow properties in industrial processes. Let's see the five key benefits of why the addition of VJ Instruments' Spheronizer in a modern laboratory can be invaluable.
1. Unprecedented Speed and Efficiency of Processing
The VJ Instruments' Spheronizer optimizes and controls speed for the most efficient possible processing time, significantly reducing processing time. What traditionally took several hours is now achievable in minutes. The high-capacity processing chamber of the instrument means larger batch sizes are more easily processed and still yield excellent particle uniformity, eliminating the need for multiple runs.
Combined with laboratory data, processing times are minimized to up to 65% of conventional processes, allowing researchers and technicians to spend more time on other critical tasks. Quick-release mechanisms for plate change and intuitive control interface minimize setup and changeover times.
2. High Precision and Reproducibility
One of the most striking advantages of the VJ Spheronizer is that every particle size produced is uniform and spherical in shape. Its precision-engineered friction plate and variable speed control ensure that every batch comes out exactly as per specifications. Digital control allows fine-tuning of operational parameters such as:
Rotational speed (100-3000 RPM)
Processing time
Plate temperature
Chamber pressure
Control at this level results in sphericity values that are always more than 0.95, making them highly compatible with the stringent requirements for quality in pharmaceutical and medical use.
3. Enhanced Documentation and Quality Control
It is prudent to document results and ensure the quality of processing in modern lab work. The VJ Spheronizer is equipped with inbuilt monitoring systems to track and record all parameters pertaining to processing. This includes:
Real-time monitoring of the process
Automatic data logging
Batch-to-batch consistency checking
Automation that meets GMP requirements
The system automatically creates detailed reports, saving time and ensuring regulatory compliance while maintaining proper documentation of audit trails.
4. Multiple Applications
The versatility in application sets the VJ Spheronizer apart from one-application-only equipment. Its modular design is pre-assembled and ready for different patterns of plates and processing parameters, making it suitable for:
Pellet coating for Pharmaceuticals
Controlled-release formulations
Production of catalyst particles
Processing food ingredients
Spheronization of ceramic material
This flexibility lets laboratories collate several steps of processing in one instrument, saving both space and resources.
5. Value for Money Due to Repeatability
Although the procurement price of a VJ Spheronizer may be high, the cost is visibly offset in the long run by:
Reduced labor costs due to automatic processing
Minimal material waste as it processes with great accuracy
Less maintenance
Long life of the equipment
Better quality of the end product with fewer rejected batches
With its rugged construction and prime materials, the instrument ensures consistent operation year after year—an investment that really pays off for a laboratory determined to achieve quality and efficiency.
The Smarter Choice for Your Lab
The Spheronizer from VJ Instruments is an entire package and definitely more than just another piece of laboratory equipment. It can be seen as a response to the myriad challenges placed on particle processing in this modern day and age and is an excellent precision speed tool for any laboratory intent on excellence in their work.
While labs seek maximum efficiency with no compromise in quality, the decision to invest in new apparatus becomes crucial. The VJ Spheronizer directly tackles these dilemmas head-on with unprecedented technological innovation combined with practical utility.
Consider how this tool may be the difference-maker for your lab operations. Based on its successful experience with various industries, applications, and environments, the VJ Spheronizer stands ready to take your particle processing to the next level.
