Lab Equipment

Pipette A pipette (also called a pipet, pipettor or chemical dropper) is a laboratory instrument used to transport a measured volume of liquid.

Laboratory Centrifuge

laboratory centrifuge is a piece of laboratory equipment, driven by a motor, which spins liquid samples at high speed.

Microbiological Safety Cabinet A microbiological safety cabinet is a piece of laboratory equipment that provides a safe working area for people handling material potentially contaminated with pathogens (germs)

Biohazard Cabinet A biohazard cabinet or laminar flow cabinet is a carefully enclosed bench designed to prevent contamination of semiconductor wafers, biological samples, or any particle sensitive device.

Incubator An incubator is a device for controlling the temperature, humidity, and other conditions in which a microbiological culture is being grown.

Water Bath

A water bath is used in the laboratory to allow a chemical reaction to occur at an elevated temperature

Distiller Water distillers produce highly treated and disinfected water for laboratory usage. The distillation process removes minerals and microbiological contaminants and can reduce levels of chemical contaminants.

Polymerase chain reaction

The polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is a technique widely used in molecular biology. As PCR progresses, the DNA generated is used as a template for replication. This sets in motion a chain reaction in which the DNA template is exponentially amplified. With PCR it is possible to amplify a single or few copies of a piece of DNA across several orders of magnitude, generating millions or more copies of the DNA piece.

Autoclave An autoclave is a pressurized device designed to heat aqueous solutions above their boiling point at normal atmospheric pressure to achieve sterilization.

Spectrophotometer A spectrophotometer is a photometer (a device for measuring light intensity) that can measure intensity as a function of the color, or more specifically, the wavelength of light.
