Turbidimeter – Units of Measurement
A turbidimeter is a laboratory device used to measure the turbidity of a liquid. These equipments can also establish the size and concentration of the particles that are placed in suspension through the diffusion of light in a tube.
Oil baths: What is your role in the laboratory?
An oil bath is thermostatic equipment used in chemical research laboratories to transfer heat indirectly, by thermal convection, to a sample that requires analysis. Thanks to these equipments, the heat transfer is carried out in a uniform way to the sample.
Hematology Analyzer – Blood Count Interpretation
A hemogram or hematological analysis reflects all the elements or components of the blood, reflecting their number or their proportion in the individual. In this analysis, the white or leukocyte series, the red or erythrocyte series, and platelets are measured.
What is a recirculation bath?
A recirculating bath is ideal laboratory equipment for any application that requires the placement of multiple samples in a water bath. They are useful equipment when a constant and reliable temperature is necessary, since they move the liquids while providing the set temperature. For example, in microbiological research, continuous shaking will allow cell cultures growing in the liquid to mix with air.
Turbidimeter – Measuring Ranges
A turbidimeter is a piece of equipment used to measure the turbidity of a liquid. These devices can also set the size and concentration of suspended particles through light scattering in a tube.
What is a gel documentation system?
A gel documentation system is a device for viewing, photographing, and analyzing post-electrophoresis gel bands. This equipment reduces operating times and the results are of high quality. Bands in gels that are not visible to the naked eye can be seen through the high resolution charge-coupled device and with focusing lenses.
Vortex types: volumes
A vortex is a device commonly used in laboratories to mix small vials of liquid. It consists of an electric motor with a vertically oriented drive shaft attached to a slightly mounted recessed rubber part. It is an ideal instrument for gently mixing and forceful resuspension of cells and components of chemical and biological liquids in tubes using an eccentric mechanism.
Freezers and COVID vaccine
A freezer is a refrigeration equipment that comprises a thermally insulated compartment, which helps it to keep cold and thus avoid damage or degradation. It is kept cold by compression or by absorption, which is capable of keeping the products stored inside at a temperature below 0 ° C, normally between -30 ° C and -4 ° C. Although currently some equipment can reach temperatures of -80 ºC. Its function is to maintain, in a controlled environment, various fluids and substances, so that they are kept in good condition, since the lower the temperature, the less chemical and biological activity. To achieve this it is required that the interior temperature of the refrigerator is lower than the ambient temperature.
What is histopathology?
Histopathology is a branch of pathology that addresses the diagnosis of diseases through the analysis of tissues, integrating both their macroscopic and microscopic characteristics. It plays a leading role in clinical diagnosis since the analysis of the morphology of the cell allows to determine with greater precision the pathological alteration that affects the tissue and, therefore, to reach an accurate diagnosis.
What is an Ecological Microscope?
The microscope is an instrument that increases the size of an image and allows you to see more details than would be possible to see with the naked eye. There is a wide variety of microscopes, of which the ecological microscope is of relevance.
