Instrument list
Instrument Uses Test tube Folin-Wu tube Glass slide mycole and cover slips in microscopy, serology, etc. as the solid backing on which test samples are Petri dish used for preparation of culture media and the culture of organisms they are in Glass beaker reagent storage Glass flask gastric acid, or other fluid titration Pasteur pipette for aspiration and addition of reagents Graduated pipettes for aspiration and addition of reagents, often of minuscule amounts of the material; used mainly in colorimetry Syringes Disposable gloves prevention of transmission of diseases (as long as not cut or perforated) to or from the user Tourniquet This is used to cause an artificial venous stasis by applying pressure through this rubber tube. This leads to engorgement of the veins, allowing them to be seen more easily. Used for intravenous injections and cannulation. Microscope used for visualising minute structures, including microbes Bunsen burner or spirit lamps or candles source of fire / heat Ultracentrifuge used to separate particles dispersed in a liquid according to their molecular mass Electrophoresis apparatus used to detect and classify serum proteins or proteins from any other source; also used for DNA separation Chromatography: • Gas chromatography or Gas liquid chromatography (GLC) • Planar chromatography • Paper chromatography • Thin layer chromatography • Affinity chromatography • Ion exchange chromatography • Size exclusion chromatography • Countercurrent chromatography • Countercurrent chromatography • Hematology analyzer It is simply known as Cell Counter. • Semiauto analyzer • Reflotron Setup for radioimmunoassay or RIA Previously this was widely used to detect various things in bold fluids like proteins (natural, infective, those produced by the body in reaction to disease, or cancer related), tumor markers, hormones, viruses (hepatitis, or HIV), etc. Setup for enzyme linked immunosorbant assay (ELISA) It is presently widely used to detect various things in bold fluids like proteins (natural, infective, those produced by the body in reaction to disease, or cancer related), tumor markers, hormones, viruses (hepatitis, HIV), etc. It has replaced RIA.Colorimeter used in photochemical analysis and quantitative estimation of substances such as blood sugar, creatinine, and hemoglobin. Burette used to measure the amount of acid or alkali used in titration General laboratory stands, racks, filter paper, reagents, etc. Induction coils as a source of high voltage electricity Cathode ray oscilloscope ' Recording kymograph historically, used in human or animal experiments to measure and record data Long extension kymograph historically, used in or human animal experiments to measure and record data Surface plasmon resonance Label-free detection of molecule binding. Used to determine kinetic constants of the interaction (ka, kd, KD). Can also be used for thermodynamic analysis.
