Importance of a spectrophotometer in a laboratory
A spectrophotometer is an instrument widely used in laboratories to measure the absorbance of a sample, depending on the wavelength of electromagnetic radiation, and thus know the concentration of substances in a solution.
Water Purification Systems: Ionization
In any laboratory we require the use of drinking water to fulfill some basic functions within them, such as: repair solutions, safely wash laboratory materials, perform experiments; there are several processes that are carried out to obtain drinking and ultrapure water, some are used combined, however, one of those processes is the water purification system making use of deionization process, allowing to obtain water free of loose ions.
Hot plate and hot plate with stirring
The heating plate is benchtop laboratory equipment whose function is to heat containers with liquids in a controlled manner and is used for boiling processes, evaporation of liquids, distillation, among others.
What are refractometers used for in a laboratory?
This device allows us to measure the density of liquids, gases and solids from the beginning of the refraction of light originating in the boundary layer between the prism and the sample; its main function is to analyze different substances present in a subject and identify each component to evaluate its degree of purity; it is an accurate optical instrument.
What are deep freezers used for in a laboratory?
The deep freezers or freezers of laboratories are of low temperature, commonly of -80°C, they are presented in vertical and horizontal position, they have as a characteristic that they produce large consumptions of electrical energy, due to the low temperature of the ultrafreezer, but thanks to the updates theultrafreezers, their technological development as those produced in KALSTEIN consume less electrical energy.
What are incubators used for?
The laboratory incubator is specialized equipment capable of maintaining a space with stable controlled conditions, conditions such as temperature, humidity, oxygen and CO2. They are insulated containers with adjustable heaters.
Conductivity Meter: what is it?
Conductivity is the ability of a material to conduct an electric current, that is, a measure of the total ionic concentration of a solution; the instrument used to know the conductivity or electrical charge in a body of water of natural origin is the conductivity meter and they are very common in any water treatment procedure or in environmental laboratories.
Clinical chemistry analyzers: care and recommendations
Clinical chemistry analyzers are laboratory equipment that tests clinical samples such as blood serum, plasma, urine, and cerebrospinal fluid to detect analytes related to body metabolism, disease, or drugs. They are used in small clinics, research laboratories, and large clinical laboratories.
Methods for measuring dissolved oxygen
Dissolved Oxygen (DO) is the measure of the amount of oxygen that is distributed in a system. Measurements are generally taken in water using a DO probe and meter. When performing dissolved oxygen measurements in the laboratory or in the field, it should be considered which type of DO technology is most suitable to employ.
Laboratory shaker plate
The shaker plate is an electromagnetic device commonly used in biology or chemistry laboratories to homogeneously mix solutions and compounds for tests and trials, among others.
These devices are used in the production of chemical products, coatings, cosmetics, food, industrial, among others. In laboratories such as research, development, clinical, and education, the shaker is essential.
