It is an electronic device used in


science labs to accurately
measure and fill numerous vials
of liquid at once. It takes the
1. Multichannel Pipette magic of accurately transferring
small amounts of liquids and
multiply it many folds into a
single device with multiple
heads, usually 8 or 12. 

These are needed to store


chemicals and PCR (Polymerase
Chain Reaction) products at an
average temperature of +4
2. Refrigerator
degrees Celsius. PCR is used for
the analysis of gene expression,
cloning, sequencing,
mutagenesis, and genotyping.

These are used for mixing liquid


components in tubes such as
mixing small vials and for the
resuspension of cells. These
3. Vortex mixer
mixers are usually designed with
touch or continuous modes and
electronic speed control for
constant speeds.
These determine the nucleic acid
quantification by measuring light
absorption or the quantity of
4. Spectrophotometer chemicals in a solution. A light
beam passes through the sample
and the compounds transmit light
over a wavelength.

5. DNA sequencer These are used to observe the


DNA’s molecular sequence. The
resulting patterns of DNA bands
or sequences show how enzymes
affect the DNA. A DNA
sequencer is used to determine
the order of guanine, cytosine,
adenine, and thymine which is
known as a text string.
