ELISA Microplate Reader

A laboratory device used to measure the optical density of samples in enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISA). It detects color changes in the microplate wells, providing quantitative data on the presence of specific substances, such as antigens or antibodies.

Light Microscope

A type of microscope that uses visible light to illuminate and magnify objects, typically biological specimens. It allows detailed examination of cell structures, microorganisms, and tissues at magnifications up to 1000x or more.

Blood Centrifuge

A laboratory instrument used to separate components of blood (such as plasma, serum, and cellular elements) by spinning it at high speeds. The centrifugal force causes the components to separate based on their density.

Oven

A temperature-controlled device used for drying, sterilizing, or heating materials in a laboratory. It is often used for sterilizing and drying glassware, or performing heat-based experiments that require consistent temperature control.

Incubator

A temperature-controlled chamber that provides a stable environment for the growth and maintenance of microbiological cultures. It is essential for culturing bacteria, fungi, or cell lines under optimal temperature, humidity, and sometimes CO2 conditions.

Autoclave

A high-pressure device used to sterilize equipment and materials by applying steam at high temperatures (typically 121°C) to kill bacteria, viruses, fungi, and spores. It is commonly used to sterilize glassware, media, and surgical instruments.

Water Bath

A laboratory device used to heat samples by immersing containers in a heated water reservoir. It provides precise temperature control for experiments that require gentle, uniform heating, such as enzyme reactions or thawing biological samples.

Digital Ultrasonic Bath

A laboratory instrument that uses high-frequency sound waves to agitate and clean samples. The ultrasonic waves create microscopic bubbles that help to remove contaminants from surfaces or break down particles in solutions. It is commonly used for cleaning glassware or assisting in the dispersion of particles in solutions.

Rotary Evaporator

A laboratory device used to efficiently and gently remove solvents from samples by evaporating them under reduced pressure. The sample is heated while rotating in a water bath, promoting faster evaporation. This instrument is frequently used in chemical and biological labs for concentrating solutions, purifying compounds, and performing distillation.
