Laboratory Shaker: What are its uses and importance?
An agitator is an instrument for use by laboratories mostly of chemistry and biology, it is used to mix solutions or preparations, suspensions, these liquids that are going to make mixed or agitated are placed in vessels, tubes or flasks, since its beginnings the manual agitator fulfilled the function of mixing liquids, with technological advances the agitator systems are used in all scientific laboratories, industrial, chemistry, biology, among others.
What are the different types of children’s heaters?
Childhood heaters are medical equipment designed to provide constant heat to low-weight newborns who have thermoregulation problems or who need constant interventions by medical staff, as their purpose is to maintain a temperature-controlled environment to help newborns maintain their body temperature.
Laboratory biosecurity cabinets: When should they be used?
Biological safety Cabinets are laboratory equipment that acts as ventilated enclosures designed to protect the operator, laboratory atmosphere and working materials from exposure to infectious spatter or aerosols that may be generated by handling material containing infectious agents. This means that laboratory equipment must be used when working with certain microorganisms, cytotoxic products or products that cause allergic reactions.
Importance of pHmeter in a laboratory
A pH meter is one of the most used equipment in a laboratory. It is used to measure the acidity or alkalinity of a solution and the information it provides expresses the degree of acidity of an acid or base in terms of the activity of hydrogen ions, so through the use of this equipment we can know the type of substance we are analyzing, as well as the type of treatment that should be given to it.
Importance of a Fluorometer in a Laboratory
To establish the importance of the equipment that is part of a laboratory and is indispensable, we must take into account its applications and usefulness within it; in the case of fluorometers, this apparatus allows the measurement of fluorescence parameters: its intensity and the distribution of wavelengths of the emission spectrum after excitation by a certain light spectrum.
What is CO2 emission and the greenhouse effect?
CO2 is a colorless, odorless gas composed of oxygen and carbon. Excessive emissions of this gas today are a major cause of global warming.
Laboratory refrigerators: What is the optimal blood storage temperature? and why?
A laboratory refrigerator is a device that allows the effective preservation of all types of substances refrigerated in it, whether liquid, solid or homogeneous. This equipment works by lowering the temperature, so it allows to control the effect that it has on the substances whose composition and structure is to be preserved, this is because the lower the temperature will be the rate at which chemical and metabolic reactions occur, which deteriorate the compounds. That is why they are used in the conservation of blood and derivatives, biological liquids and tissues, reagents, chemicals, and bacterial strains.
ICE Maker: different types for hospitals and laboratories
This ice-making machine, its process is based on making ice cubes from moving water, which consequently removes air and suspended solids. This results in ice of great firmness and in very little time.
Gel documentation systems: steps for use
Gel documentation systems are one of the main supports of research and analysis of results, which undoubtedly makes it indispensable in areas such as molecular, cellular, biochemical biology; Because of this, high resolution and multi-image recognition systems are required, the gels procedure requires greater sensitivity to ensure accurate and efficient results.
Infusion pumps, types and uses
Infusion pumps are medical devices that are used in order to generate mechanical pressure to move a fluid through a tube towards the patient’s vascular system, thus allowing the administration of medicinal fluids with more precision. This medical equipment plays a fundamental role in the technological devices that are used in a surgical operation, especially in the induction and maintenance of total intravenous anesthesia, but also in the administration of necessary medication for the patient while he is in the operating room in the operating room.
