Lyophilizers: What are its parts and maintenance?
The freeze-drier is a laboratory equipment used to carry out the freeze-drying process, which consists of removing the moisture present in a given product through cold-drying, is a process that has as its main objective to separate water from a solution by freezing and subsequent sublimation of ice at reduced pressure.
CO2 incubators What are the different types that exist?
CO2 incubators are an advanced instrument where the development of cell cultures and tissues is carried out guaranteeing an environment with natural atmosphere, these incubators guarantee a temperature, humidity and CO2 content offering to the tests the maximum growth and safety, in KALSTEIN we have a CO2 incubator that meets the requirements of cultures of living organisms in vitro, one of the main applications of this type of incubators.
Incubators in a laboratory and their different applications
A laboratory incubator is a specialized device that has the property of maintaining a space with stable controlled conditions, through the regulation of parameters such as temperature, humidity, oxygen and CO2.
which are the different types of laboratory incubators ?
Without doubt incubators have a specific function within a laboratory, and that is to store and condition the environment, to carry out the necessary microorganism tests effectively and efficiently, some of their applications are to maintain microbiological and cellular cultures, in addition to analyzing microbiology compounds and the development of organic compounds; incubators manage to maintain the levels of carbon dioxide and oxygen that facilitate these studies, that is by the temperature, pressure and circulation of the air, characteristics of these equipment.
Main differences between a laboratory Ovens and a laboratory incubator
Among the great variety of equipment needed to carry out the many activities of a laboratory, we can highlight the use of ovens and laboratory incubators, basic equipment that are often used quite often. Although laboratory ovens and incubators may look the same and generate heat as per user settings, they differ in many factors that make them suitable for their specific function.
Shaking incubators What is their function?
A shaking incubator is laboratory equipment that allows samples to be incubated and shaken simultaneously, for which it has a specialized design that allows it to carry out these functions. They are ideal instruments for different applications such as aeration and cell cultures, microbiological culture development, solubility experiments, hybridization, fermentation, biochemical and enzymatic studies.
How is the laboratory incubator used?
The laboratory incubator is a piece of equipment capable of maintaining the optimum temperature and humidity necessary to maintain microbiological and cell cultures; It also maintains the oxygen and carbon dioxide levels within it. She is in charge of conditioning the environment and storing the cultures for the proper development of microorganisms.
CO2 incubator: Recommendations and care
A CO2 incubator is a laboratory equipment that is also called a gasification incubator, and is used to carry out the development of cell and tissue cultures through a natural atmosphere. This culture of living organisms in vitro is one of the main applications of CO2 incubators. That is why these devices are widely used in medical research and in the pharmaceutical industry in: manufacturing of tissue engineering products, in vitro fertilization, diagnostic medicine, cancer research.
What is a Transmission Electron Microscope?
The transmission electron microscope is a laboratory equipment, able to transmit and diffuse from electrons to form images, so that in this way, information about the crystalline structure can be reached, through the emission of X-rays, to know the elemental structure of the sample.
What is a Scanning Electron Microscope?
Scanning electron microscopy is a method capable of structuring a great complexity of materials, such as nano-structured, metal alloys, polymers, minerals, fibers, thin films, biomaterials, and in some cases samples with high moisture content, is very versatile, allows to supply information and surface characterization of organic and inorganic materials, showing morphological information, quick chemical composition, effective and parallel of the analyzed material.
