Tools Equipment And Paraphernalia For Taking Vital Signs
Tools Equipment And Paraphernalia For Cleaning
There are more than I can possibly describe and truly it depends on what type of lab you work in. But here are some basics: Pipetters-both small (2 ul) to big (10 ml) to really big (100 mL) Tissue Culture hoods-enclosures that produce air barriers to separate the inside liquids/solids from th e outside environment while still being able to work with them Bunsen Burners-you have to know what these are Containers-petri plates, flasks, beakers, tubes, conicals-glass and plastic, there are hundreds of different containers for different tasks Microscope-most labs have a good compound microscope with fluorescence lights and phase contrast condensers Columns-measure liquids, etc. Scales-measure amounts down to micrograms Spectrophotometer-different types for different liquid suspensions and measures. We have a 'Nanospec' which measures amounts of DNA or protein in water suspensions, we also have one for measuring bacterial cell concentration in cultures PCR machine-machine that amplifies template DNA to workable quantities Electrophoresis machines/trays-for analyzing DNA on agarose gels Western Blot Trays-for analyzing proteins on gels Work Bench-to do your work of course! Fridge, Freezers, Nitrogen Freezers-for storage and prevention of growth of bacteria Autoclave-for sterilizing materials Centrifuges-small ones for 1.5 mL tubes and huge ones for 35 mLs at 25,000 rpm, for separating out materials in liquids That about sums it up:) Any more questions? Message me-I work at a Biology research lab.
