Freezers and COVID vaccine
A freezer is a refrigeration equipment that comprises a thermally insulated compartment, which helps it to keep cold and thus avoid damage or degradation. It is kept cold by compression or by absorption, which is capable of keeping the products stored inside at a temperature below 0 ° C, normally between -30 ° C and -4 ° C.
Laboratory balances: kilos, grams, micrograms
Mass is one of the quantities that needs to be evaluated in the laboratory, either to prepare reagent solutions, specimens or samples for a given analysis, with the accuracy and precision required by the quality of the study to be carried out.
What is a laboratory refractometer?
Refractometers are optical instruments used to determine the percentage of soluble solids in a liquid solution. For this, the refractometer makes use of the principle of total refraction of light (originated by the type and concentration of the substances dissolved in a liquid solution, for example, sugar), which takes place in the boundary layer between the prism and the sample.
Dental autoclaves: types and uses
An autoclave is a piece of equipment for medical and dental use that is used to sterilize using steam at high pressure and temperature. This device consists of a thick-walled metal container and hermetic closure, which allows high pressure sterilization, ensuring maximum disinfection of all clinical and dental materials.
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.
