MICROSCOPE

 A microscope is an instrument used to see


objects that are too small to be seen by the naked eye.

 Microscopy is the science of investigating small


objects and structures using such an instrument.
Centrifuse
• A centrifuge works by using
the principle of
sedimentation: Under the
influence of gravitational force
(g-force), substances separate
according to their density.
Different types of separation
are known, including isopycnic,
ultrafiltration, density gradient,
phase separation, and
pelleting.
Needle Destroyer
• Syringe & Needle Destroyer is electrically
operated equipment helps to destroyer/melt the
needle and cuts the syringes immediately after
use. Reusing the Syringes or needles causes major
infectious diseases. The equipment has a single
step operation with push to open receptacle.
Spectrophotometer
• A spectrophotometer is an
instrument that measures
the amount of light
absorbed by a sample.
Spectrophotometer
techniques are mostly used
to measure the
concentration of solutes in
solution by measuring the
amount of the light that is
absorbed by the solution in
a cuvette placed in the
spectrophotometer.
Hot Air Oven
• A hot air oven is a laboratory
instruments that uses dry heat
to sterilize laboratory
equipment and other materials.
• That equipment cannot be wet
or material that will not melt,
catch fire, or change form when
exposed to high temperatures
are sterilized by using the dry
heat sterilization method.
• Hot air oven also known as
forced air circulating oven.
Incubator
• An incubator is a device used
to grow and maintain
microbiological cultures or cell
cultures.
• The incubator maintains
optimal temperature, humidity
and other conditions such as
the CO2 and oxygen content of
the atmosphere inside
• Generally, the temperature in
your incubator should be
maintained between 37 and 39
degrees Celcius
Water Bath
• A water bath is laboratory
equipment made from a container
filled with heated water.
• It is used to incubate samples in
water at a constant temperature
over a long period of time.
• Most water baths have a digital or
an analogue interface to allow
users to set a desired temperature,
but some water baths have their
temperature controlled by a
current passing through a reader.
Autoclave
• 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.
• The items are heated to an
appropriate sterilization
temperature for a given amount of
time
• To be effective, the autoclave must
reach and maintain a temperature
of 121° C for at least 30 minutes by
using saturated steam under at
least 15 psi of pressure.
Distillation Plant
• Water distiller is a
machine which is used to
purify water using
distillation process,
which is related to first
boiling impure water
after that collecting
condensed water in a
separate container.
pH Meter
• A pH meter is a scientific instrument
that measures the hydrogen-ion
activity in water-based solutions,
indicating its acidity or alkalinity
expressed as pH
• pH meters are used for soil
measurements in agriculture, water
quality for municipal water supplies,
swimming pools, environmental
remediation; brewing of wine or
beer; manufacturing, healthcare and
clinical applications such as blood
chemistry; and many other
applications.
