BIOCHEMISTRY LABORATORIES Tools and Devices
Most common tools that used in biochemistry labs are : Single-Channel Pipette Multi-Channel Pipettes Glassware ( Beaker, Cylinder, Flasks, watch glass ETC. ) Test Tubes (Gel test tube, Blank Tubes, EDTA ETC.) Droppers (glass & disposable ) Funnels Stirrer ( glass rod, Spatula)
Multiple Channel Pipettes Single Channel Pipettes Watch Glass Beaker Funnel Cylinder Glass & disposable Droppers Spatula & Glass Rod
Most Common Devices that used in biochemistry labs are: Centrifuge (Mini Centrifuge, Cooled Centrifuge , ETC) pH and Conductivity Meters Vortex Mixer Oven Water Bath Magnetic Stirrer/Hotplate Mini-Mixer or Shaker Semi-Automatic Analyzer Spectrophotometer Colorimeter Electrolyte Analyzer
Centrifuges Cooled or normal Centrifuge Mini Centrifuge -The centrifugeworks using the sedimentation principle, where the centrifugal acceleration causes denser substances and particles to move outward in the radial direction. - Industrial scalecentrifuges are commonly used in manufacturing and waste processing to sediment suspended solids, or to separate immiscible liquids. Mini can be used for a wide range of molecular biology separations and quick spins.
pH and Conductivity Meters pH and Conductivity Meters - pH Meters are used to measure acidity levels in water & wastewater treatment,pharmaceuticals,chemicals & petrochemicals, and other applications are known as pH meters. They are mostly used in food & beverages, pharmaceuticals, mining, water treatment plants, and other industries. - Testing the electricalconductivity of water provides much practical information about a solution. Not only is the conductivity measurement itself useful, but it can also be used to estimate the total dissolved solids (TDS) or salinity of water. - -
Vortex Mixer & Mini-Mixer or Shaker Vortex Mixer Mini Mixer or Shaker -Vortex mixers can employ precision temperature control at various mixing speeds which make them ideal for a wide variety of molecular biologyapplications. -Used in bioscience, microbiology, biochemical, and analytical laboratory settings to mix small vials of liquids in a quickly oscillating circular motion. Ashaker is a piece of laboratory equipmentused to mix, blend, or to agitate substances in tubes or flasks by shaking them, which is mainly used in the fields of chemistry and biology.
Oven & Water Bath & Magnetic Stirrer/Hotplate Water Bath Magnetic Stirrer /Hot plate OVEN Processapplications for laboratory ovens can be for:- -Annealing, die-bond curing, -Drying. -Sterilizing. It is used to incubate samples in water at a constant temperature over a long period of time. The main function of a stirrer is to agitate the liquid for speeding up the reactions or improving mixtures.
Semi-Automatic Analyzer KENZA max ELISA -It s biochemistryanalyzercapable to perform tests on whole blood, serum, plasma, cerebrospinal fluid and urine as sample. -They are usedto determine the concentration of certain metabolites, electrolytes, proteins.
Spectrophotometer Spectrophotometer How it Works Its used in the process of measuring color and used for monitoring color accuracy throughout production
Colorimeter Colorimeter -Is an instrument used to measure the absorbance of wavelengths of light at a particular frequency (color) by a sample. -Colorimeters are widely used to monitor the growth of a bacterial or yeast culture.
Electrolyte Analyzer Electrolyte Analyzer -Electrolyte analyzers measure electrolyte levels in the human body to detect metabolic imbalances and measure renal and cardiac function. -The electrolytes measured include sodium (Na+), potassium (K+), chloride (Cl-) and bicarbonate (HCO3- or CO2). -Electrolyte analyzerscan determine electrolyte levels in the human body ... Electrolytes play multipleroles in the maintenance of body functions ..
