Introduction Given that mouse models play a crucial role in preclinical drug discovery and development, it’s imperative to devise a system that ensures the consistent and reproducible administration of drugs to mice. This system should ideally facilitate the collection of blood samples at regular intervals throughout a specified timeframe. Among the indispensable tools in laboratory […]
What is Sevoflurane? Sevoflurane is a volatile, non-flammable, and highly fluorinated methyl isopropyl ether anesthetic agent used to induce and maintain general anesthesia in patients or lab animals.[1] Figure: Chemical structure of Sevoflurane.[1] General anesthesia is a combination of drugs used during surgeries, medical procedures, or dissection of live animals in lab experiments to create […]
What Is a Laboratory Hot Plate? The hot plate is an essential, portable, table-top machine used for certain lab procedures which require heating samples. Hot plates have a flat surface with an internal heating system. The device can reach a temperature as high as 350℃, hot enough to ignite a spectrum of low-boiling solvents like […]
Need a Dry Bath for your lab? Click here Laboratory dry baths are scientific equipment that provides users with a temperature-controlled environment, allowing them to incubate samples and perform tests or experiments at a specific temperature. In terms of design, dry baths are stainless steel chambers with sealed microprocessor controlling units, a digital or analog […]
Inverted microscopes are light microscopes whose objectives are below the stage – where examining samples are placed. It is the opposite of traditional compound microscopes, where the objectives are above the stage. The placement enables users to examine samples from the bottom rather than the top, allowing them to observe the specimen in its container […]
A Brief Introduction to Microscopes The microscope is one of the essential lab instruments that help to examine the objects and specimens that cannot be seen with our naked eyes.[1] The optical instrument magnifies the specimen to multifold, making it visible to our eyes. Because of their ability to produce high-quality, highly-resolved, clear, and magnified […]
Spectrophotometers are scientific equipment that quantifies the concentration of a molecule in the sample of interest based on its color, translucency, and transparency. In spectrophotometry, various spectra of light are passed through a sample whose molecules absorb light of certain wavelengths. The light that is not absorbed passes through a photodetector where the light intensity […]
Introduction A microtome is a precision tool used in labs to cut extremely thin sections of different materials. It’s derived from two Greek words mikros, meaning “small”, and temnein, meaning “to cut”.[1] The microtome is built of three primary parts: the body, knife attachment and knife, and material holder.[1] It slices the embedded material into […]
Laboratory incubators are scientific equipment found in most research, analytical, or diagnostic laboratories. Lab incubators store collected samples or specimens in specified conditions so that the biological or chemical processes in the samples can take place in the desired conditions and with the least disturbance from uncontrollable influences. Components in Laboratory Incubators Lab incubators allow […]
