Tips for using water baths in a laboratory
A laboratory water bath is an instrument consisting of a container filled with hot water, used to incubate samples in water at a constant temperature for a long period of time. It is used to incubate samples in water at a constant temperature for a long period of time.
Why is an anesthesia machine necessary in the operating room?
There are 4 types of anesthesia, local, regional, sedation and general anesthesia. The latter is only administered in the case of major surgical interventions, which require a lot of time in the operating room.
Laboratory shakers: porcelain or glass dishes
The laboratory shaker are electromechanical devices that are commonly used in specialized chemistry and / or biology laboratories to homogeneously mix solutions and suspensions for tests and trials.
Orbital shakers, functions and parts
Orbital shakers are laboratory equipment used to combine, divide or prepare substances. These equipments create a movement between liquids or between liquids and solids in order to achieve processes of mixing, suspension, dispersion, homogenization, heat transfer, among others.
What technology do real-time thermo-cyclers use?
A real-time thermo-cycler is a device that simultaneously accurately regulates thermal cycles so that the DNA chains are multiplied by the polymerase chain reaction (PCR), while incorporating a technology that allows the reaction to be tracked. To achieve the latter purpose, the thermocycler is incorporated with a fluorometer, which is made up of an excitation source, absorption filters, a radiation detector and the electronics needed to process electrical signals and transform them into digital signals suitable for computer equipment.
Thermocycler Protocols
A thermocycler is a laboratory equipment that allows to carry out the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) efficiently and quickly, by automatic and cyclical realization of the changes in temperature required for the amplification of a chain of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), from a thermostable enzyme. PCR enables a small amount of DNA molecules to be amplified many times, exponentially.

Freeze dryers in pharmaceutical companies
Freeze drying has become a standard practice in the pharmaceutical industry, since the beginning of its first applications around the 40’s. Since then, the freeze dryer has gone from being a simple vacuum drying equipment to become a highly sophisticated system and integrated, which combines a series of processes to guarantee a systematic production according […]
Laboratory lyophilizer: What are the different types that exist?
A lyophilizer is a laboratory equipment that allows to carry out lyophilization, that is to say, it is an instrument that is used to remove moisture from a product by cold drying, thus obtaining a dehydrated product that can be rehydrated when needed, thus fully recovering its properties at the time of use.
Freeze dryers: technique and operations
Freeze drying is a process also called freeze drying, and it is carried out in specialized equipment known as a freeze dryer. In this process, the product is frozen, by exposing it to cold air, then passing to a vacuum chamber, in which the humidity is sublimated, eliminating it by crystallization using mechanical vacuum pumps.
