LIFE SCIENCE CATEGORY

Life science research consists of all


sciences that involve the scientific
study of living organisms and their
life processes. Covering a wide
array of subjects from genetics and
microbiology to botany and
astrobiology, new breakthroughs
are happening daily all over the
world. LIFE SCIENCE
LIFE SCIENCE CATEGORY

The study of life science leads to


a better understanding of life’s
molecular building blocks,
disease processes, and allows
for the development of new
medical devices and
therapeutics, thereby increasing
human health. LIFE SCIENCE
LIFE SCIENCE CATEGORY

They also allow for new insights


into the environment, climate,
and animal and plant life,
guiding our efforts in
conservation, preservation, and
animal welfare.

What Are Some Types of


Life Science Research
Equipment?

LIFE SCIENCE
LIFE SCIENCE CATEGORY

Instruments and equipment


include spectrometers,
centrifuges, thermocyclers,
microscopes, lab hoods,
autoclaves, lab freezers, and
chromatography systems to
name a few.
LIFE SCIENCE
LIFE SCIENCE CATEGORY

Spectrometers

an essential analytical tool in


biological research and can
be used to characterize a
wide variety of biomolecules
such as sugars, proteins, and
oligonucleotides.
LIFE SCIENCE CATEGORY

Centrifuge

is a device that uses


centrifugal force to separate
various components of a
fluid. This is achieved by
spinning the fluid at high
speed.
LIFE SCIENCE CATEGORY

Thermocycler

used for DNA sequencing,


cloning, generation of probes,
quantification of DNA and RNA,
studying patterns of gene
expression.
LIFE SCIENCE CATEGORY

Microscope
an instrument that produces
enlarged images of small
objects, allowing the observer
an exceedingly close view of
minute structures at a scale
convenient for examination and
analysis.
LIFE SCIENCE CATEGORY

Lab hood

safely contain and/or remove


hazardous biological and
chemical contaminants before
they can escape into the lab or
environment.
LIFE SCIENCE CATEGORY

Autoclave
also known as steam sterilizers and
are typically used for healthcare or
industrial applications. An
autoclave is a machine that uses
steam under pressure to kill
harmful bacteria, viruses, fungi,
and spores on items that are
placed inside a pressure vessel.
LIFE SCIENCE CATEGORY

Lab freezer
are refrigerated cabinets
useful for storing biological
specimens and volatile
reagents at temperatures
ranging between -40 ºC and
10 ºC.
LIFE SCIENCE CATEGORY

Chromatography systems

is useful in determining
which antibodies fight
various diseases and
viruses.
LIFE SCIENCE CATEGORY

Life sciences supplies also


include consumables, reagents,
and chemicals such as assay
kits, media, pipette tips,
biomolecules, cell lines, and
more.

PHYSICAL SCIENCE CATEGORY

Physical science, the systematic


study of the inorganic world, as
distinct from the study of the
organic world, which is the
province of biological science.

PHYSICAL
SCIENCE
PHYSICAL SCIENCE CATEGORY

Physical science is ordinarily


thought of as consisting of four
broad areas: astronomy,
physics, chemistry, and the
Earth sciences.

PHYSICAL
SCIENCE
PHYSICAL SCIENCE CATEGORY

Physics, in its modern sense,


was founded in the mid-19th
century as a synthesis of several
older sciences—namely, those
of mechanics, optics, acoustics,
electricity, magnetism, heat,
and the physical properties of
matter. PHYSICAL
SCIENCE
PHYSICAL SCIENCE CATEGORY

The synthesis was based in


large part on the recognition
that the different forces of
nature are related and are, in
fact, interconvertible because
they are forms of energy.

PHYSICAL
SCIENCE
PHYSICAL SCIENCE CATEGORY

Physics is concerned with the


structure and behavior of
individual atoms and their
components, while chemistry
deals with the properties and
reactions of molecules.

PHYSICAL
SCIENCE
PHYSICAL SCIENCE CATEGORY

Astronomy is the science of the


entire universe beyond Earth; it
includes Earth’s gross physical
properties, such as its mass and
rotation, insofar as they interact
with other bodies in the solar
system.
PHYSICAL
SCIENCE
PHYSICAL SCIENCE CATEGORY

Astronomy science that


encompasses the study of all
extraterrestrial objects and
phenomena.

PHYSICAL
SCIENCE
PHYSICAL SCIENCE CATEGORY

Chemistry, the science that


deals with the properties,
composition, and structure of
substances, the transformations
they undergo, and the energy
that is released or absorbed
during these processes.
PHYSICAL
SCIENCE
PHYSICAL SCIENCE CATEGORY

Chemistry,
Every substance, whether
naturally occurring or artificially
produced, consists of one or
more of the hundred-odd
species of atoms that have
been identified as elements.
PHYSICAL
SCIENCE
PHYSICAL SCIENCE CATEGORY

Chemistry,
concerned with the utilization of
natural substances and the
creation of artificial ones.
Cooking, fermentation, glass
making, and metallurgy are all
chemical processes that date
from the beginnings of PHYSICAL
civilization. SCIENCE
PHYSICAL SCIENCE CATEGORY

Chemistry,
Today, vinyl, Teflon, liquid
crystals, semiconductors, and
superconductors represent the
fruits of chemical technology

PHYSICAL
SCIENCE
PHYSICAL SCIENCE CATEGORY

Earth Science,
Earth sciences, the fields of
study concerned with the solid
Earth, its waters, and the air that
envelops it. Included are the
geologic, hydrologic, and
atmospheric sciences.
PHYSICAL
SCIENCE
PHYSICAL SCIENCE CATEGORY

Earth Science,
The broad aim of the Earth
sciences is to understand the
present features and past
evolution of Earth and to use this
knowledge, where appropriate,
for the benefit of humankind.
PHYSICAL
SCIENCE
PHYSICAL SCIENCE CATEGORY

Robotics,
a collaborative study of
Computer science, mechanical
engineering, electrical
engineering.

PHYSICAL
SCIENCE
ROBOTICS CATEGORY

Robotics,
deals with the design, operation,
application and construction of
Robots and their association
with computers and human.
