Laboratory shakers: differences
Laboratory shakers, also known as mixers, are laboratory products used, in the chemistry and biology sectors, to mix liquids and prepare solutions and suspensions. 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 is a heating blanket?
The heating blanket is a piece of equipment used in laboratories to supply a certain stable temperature in a uniform and safe way to various containers, whose base is round. It is mainly used to provide stable temperature to volumetric balloons.
Blood chemistry – laboratory analyzers
Blood chemistry is the measurement and reporting of dissolved chemicals in the blood. Their study provides information to the doctor through a series of tests about the metabolism in the human body and the functioning of some organs.
What is pH and how is it measured?
pH is the unit of measurement that describes the degree of acidity or alkalinity and is measured on a scale that goes from 0 to 14. The measurement of pH (hydrogen potential) is one of the most important parameters in a laboratory, it has a great field of application such as: research, industry, teaching, among others.
What is pathological anatomy?
Pathological anatomy is the science that studies the pathophysiological and morphological alterations of the disease. It studies the disease at an organic, tissue, cellular, subcellular, and molecular level.
Electrophoresis and Gel Documentation Systems
Gel electrophoresis is a widely used technique in life science laboratories to separate macromolecules such as DNA, RNA, and proteins. In this technique, molecules are separated according to size and electrical charge.
What is a cryostat?
The cryostat is a piece of equipment used in the processing of samples for histological or histopathological diagnosis or identification. It is mainly used to freeze and obtain frozen tissue sections or samples that have not been previously fixed by chemical methods, to avoid losing some important characteristics necessary for observation.
Incubators, their application in cell and microbiological cultures
An incubator is a laboratory equipment that is used to maintain and grow microbiological cultures or cell cultures, regulating viable growth factors such as temperature, humidity and ventilation.
When to calibrate my spectrophotometer?
The spectrophotometer is a piece of equipment used in the laboratory in order to determine the concentration of a substance in a solution, thus allowing quantitative analysis to be carried out. Proper calibration of the spectrophotometer is a fundamental factor in obtaining an accurate and reliable measurement.
What is a humidity incubator?
A humidity incubator is a laboratory equipment that, in addition to controlling the temperature of the indoor environment, also controls the humidity, through a refrigeration system, instead of direct heating. They allow the development of an infinity of experimental work, since with it microbiological and cell cultures can be maintained thanks to its ability to achieve the optimum temperature and humidity for this, as well as the levels of carbon dioxide and oxygen.
