Lab Equipment
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Megacycler | Used to amplify segments of DNA and commonly used for restriction enzyme digests via polymerase chain reaction |
| Dry Block Heater | Used precise heating of microtubes and works at temps up to 100°C |
| Analytical Balance | Used to masses in the sub milligram range and so dust and currents do not affect the balance |
| Platform Shaker | Produces precise levels of agitation that membranes and gels require and normally used for DNA gels |
| Water Bath | Allows a chemical reaction to occur at an elevated temperature and works at temps up to 100°C |
| Electronic Balance | This balance is used to make larger measurements in lab. Typically, those measurements are in the whole gram range |
| Microscope | Used to observe samples by magnification. Water samples include pond water, stagnant rain water, and the control (deionized water) |
| Pipette | Transports a measured volume of liquid and comes in several designs for various purposes with differing levels of accuracy and precision |
| Plate Reader | Designed to detect biological, chemical, or physical events of samples in microplates and widely used to research, drug discovery, and manufacturing processes in the pharmaceutical industry |
| pH meter | Used to measure the concentration of Hydrogen ions in a solution |
| Fume hood | Designed to limit exposure to hazardous or toxic fumes, vapors, or dusts and used to protect the user, product, and environment |
| Emergency Shower | Used to cleanse body of hazardous chemicals. Located no more than 10 seconds from potential users. |
| Fire Blanket | Used to extinguish small fires. Often made of wool (sometimes treater with flame retardant fluid). Vertically mounted on wall |
| Autoclave | Uses steam to sterilize equipment and supplies. Also used to sterilize glass, plastic, etc. |
| Electrophoresis Machine | Electrophoresis equipment is used to seperate macromolecules on the basis of size, electric charge, or other physical properties |
| Incubator | A device used to grow and maintain cell cultures and used to keep cell cultures warm and heated for a long period of time |
| Deionized Water | Water that has had constant temperature and widely used in most culturing applications |
| Orbital shaker | Used to stir liquids at a constant temperature and widely used in most culturing applications |
| Vortex mixer | Used to mix small vials of liquid and is commonly used with conical tubes and test tubes |
| Gel Doc Imager | Used to characterize proteins, DNA, and even small molecules. DNA gel images can be used for sequences and other analysis |
| Centrifuge | Equipment driven by an electric motor that puts an object in rotation and used to seperate materials by density |
| Spectrophotometer | Able to determine what substances are present in a solution and measures quantity of substances through calculations of wavelength |
