Ultracentrifuge Z 273 K
The Ultracentrifuge Z 273 K is a high-performance instrument used for separating components of different densities within a liquid sample. With a rotor capable of speeds up to 20,000 x g, this ultracentrifuge is particularly useful for the purification of proteins, nucleic acids, and viruses, as well as for isolating cellular organelles and subcellular components. The 220.78 rotor provides precise control, allowing for consistent and reliable separations across a variety of applications, including molecular biology and biochemistry.
Homogenizer
The Homogenizer is an essential tool for sample preparation, used to break down biological or chemical samples into uniform suspensions. It operates by applying high shear forces to cells or tissues, disrupting them into smaller particles or homogenizing them for further analysis. Whether for protein extraction, DNA/RNA isolation, or sample preparation for microscopy, this piece of equipment ensures consistent sample quality and preparation efficiency.
Hyper-Sensitive Scale
Our Hyper-Sensitive Scale is designed for the most accurate weighing tasks, capable of measuring ultra-small quantities with incredible precision. This scale is vital for experiments where exact measurements of chemicals, powders, or small amounts of substances are required. Its high sensitivity ensures reliable results in quantitative analysis, ensuring the accuracy of experimental conditions.
Fume Hood
The Fume Hood is an essential safety device that provides a controlled environment for handling hazardous chemicals or biological samples. It is designed to prevent exposure to toxic fumes, vapors, and particulate matter by using a ventilation system that draws harmful substances away from the user. The fume hood helps maintain a safe workspace, ensuring that potentially dangerous reactions, solvents, and compounds can be used with minimal risk.
Microscope
The Microscope in our lab offers high magnification capabilities, essential for observing fine details of biological samples, tissues, and microorganisms. This advanced imaging tool allows researchers to investigate samples at the cellular and sub-cellular levels, making it indispensable for applications in microbiology, cell biology, histology, and material science. The microscope’s high-resolution optics ensure accurate imaging for both routine and advanced investigations.
Fridges/Freezers
Our Fridges and Freezers are crucial for the proper storage of reagents, biological samples, and chemical compounds that require temperature-controlled environments. The fridges maintain a stable temperature range for materials that must remain cold but not frozen, while the freezers provide deep-freeze conditions for long-term storage of samples, such as enzymes, antibodies, or DNA/RNA. This equipment is vital for ensuring sample integrity and preventing degradation over time.
Electronic Pipette and Micropipettes
The Electronic Pipette and Micropipettes in our lab are precision instruments for transferring small, accurate volumes of liquids. The electronic pipette offers programmable settings to reduce the risk of human error, allowing for reproducible and precise liquid handling. Micropipettes are designed for applications that require extreme accuracy, such as PCR preparation, enzyme assays, and cell culture work. These pipettes contribute to consistency in research by ensuring the correct volume is dispensed every time.
Each piece of equipment in our lab plays an essential role in supporting efficient, safe, and high-quality scientific work. From high-precision measurements to maintaining controlled environments for sensitive samples, these instruments enhance our research capabilities, ensuring optimal results across a variety of experiments and applications.
