The Microscope and its evolution
The first great advances in science and in particular in the biological sciences are due in part to the invention of the optical microscope, when at the end of the seventeenth century Anton van Leeuwenhoek, carving lenses, was able to appreciate the world that due to its small size was impossible see with the naked eye: the microscopic world.
pH meter vs. dissolved oxygen meter
The pH is the unit of measurement that describes the degree of acidity or alkalinity and is measured on a scale ranging from 0 to 14. An approximate indication of pH can be obtained using pH indicators or tapes, which change color depending on the variation of the pH level. But these indicators have limitations in terms of accuracy and can be difficult to interpret correctly in dark or colorful samples.
What is a PCR work cabinet?
The polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is a laboratory technique used to amplify DNA sequences. The method uses short DNA sequences called primers to select the part of the genome to be amplified. The temperature of the sample is raised and lowered repeatedly to help the DNA replication enzyme duplicate the DNA sequence that is being copied.
Refrigerators and Freezers – Vaccine Storage Units
Safe storage of vaccines is a crucial component of protecting patients from disease. If vaccines are not stored properly, the patient’s confidence in the vaccine schedule can be lost.
Hematology analyzer vs. biochemical
A hematology analyzer or hematology analyzer is a device that allows you to perform a complete blood count. In other words, it performs a qualitative and quantitative analysis of red blood cells (erythrocytes), white blood cells (leukocytes), and platelets (thrombocytes).
What is an Autoclave for a dental clinic?
An autoclave is a fundamental piece of equipment to guarantee the safety of patients and professionals in dental clinics through the sterilization of dental instruments. Given its importance in the daily work of dental professionals, it is vital to know what type of autoclave is the best and what aspects should be taken into account when choosing it.
The importance of the autoclave in a hospital
An autoclave is a device used to sterilize medical or laboratory material, using steam at high pressure and temperature for it. The use of an autoclave eliminates viruses, bacteria, fungi and spores.
What is a high speed centrifuge?
High-speed centrifugation is an irreplaceable tool for the isolation and characterization of multiple biological structures: from biomolecules, such as nucleic acids and proteins, to cellular organelles and viruses.
What is a variable volume micropipette?
Variable volume micropipettes are the ideal precision instrument for the liquid measurement needs of clinical testing and quality control laboratories. A micropipette is a laboratory device used to absorb and transfer small volumes of liquids.
Centrifuge: rotor types
The centrifuge is a laboratory equipment that generates rotational movements, it has the objective of separating the components that constitute a substance. Today there is a diversity of centrifuges that have different objectives, regardless of the type of research or industry. Depending on the type of centrifuge, each one will have different operation and characteristics (type of rotor and type of sample holder tube).
