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.
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 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.
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 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.
Electrophoresis and Gel Documentation Systems
Gel electrophoresis is a widely used technique in life science laboratories to separate macromolecules such as DNA, RNA, and proteins. In this technique, molecules are separated according to size and electrical charge.
What is a cryostat?
The cryostat is a piece of equipment used in the processing of samples for histological or histopathological diagnosis or identification. It is mainly used to freeze and obtain frozen tissue sections or samples that have not been previously fixed by chemical methods, to avoid losing some important characteristics necessary for observation.
Main applications of a CO2 incubator
A CO2 incubator is a laboratory equipment also called a gasification incubator, where the development of cell and tissue cultures is guaranteed by creating a natural atmosphere. This culture of living organisms in vitro is one of the main applications of CO2 incubators.
Incubators, their application in cell and microbiological cultur
The incubators are laboratory equipment that is used to maintain and grow microbiological cultures or cell cultures, regulating viable growth factors such as temperature, humidity and ventilation.
