ESSENTIAL BIOTECHNOLOGY

EQUIPMENT
 AUTOCLAVE

 is used for sterilizing and

disinfecting equipment.
 It use a combination of steam
and pressure to function at high
temperature in order to eliminate
microorganisms and bacteria.
Sanitizing – removes bacteria from surfaces.
Disinfecting – kills harmful bacteria and viruses from surfaces.
Sterilizing – kills all microorganisms from surfaces
 Microcentrifuges

 it is used to spin small liquid

samples of up to 2ml at
extremely high speeds.
 It is small in size and takes up
little space on the benchtop.
 It is available in refrigerated and
non- refrigerated variants.
 Microcentrifuge Tube Racks

 are used to hold and store small vials

and microcentrifuge tubes that are
used in laboratory applications.
 They are made of polypropylene for
chemical resistance and can be used in
freezing temperatures.
 They are also autoclavable for use in
sterile applications..
 Centrifuge Tubes

 Centrifuge tubes are sturdy tubes

made of glass or plastic made to
fit precisely in rotor cavities.
 These laboratory tubes may vary
in capacity and are widely used
with microcentrifuges in
molecular biology laboratories.
 Water Bath

 A water bath is used to incubate

samples at a constant temperature
over a long period of time.
 Water bath is a preferred heat
source for heating flammable
chemicals instead of an open
flame to prevent ignition
 Laboratory Incubator

 Laboratory incubators are commonly

used for the growth and storage of
bacterial cultures.
 it provide a consistent, contamination-
free environment for unhindered,
dependable work on cell and tissue
cultures.
 it regulates conditions such as
temperature, humidity, and presence of
carbon dioxide.
 Crytp Tubes

 Cryo tubes are polypropylene

tubes used in laboratories for
the conservation of samples at
cryogenic temperatures. They
can be safely used in the
freezer or in liquid nitrogen
vapor.
 Petri Dish

 A petri dish helps study

samples of microorganisms,
bacteria, and virus under the
microscope. It serves as a
culture medium wherein it
enables users to culture cells.
 Bunsen Burner

 It is a type of gas burner that

produces a safe, smokeless,
hot, non-luminous flame that
can be used for various
scientific experiments.
Particularly used for heating,
sterilization, and combustion.
 PCR Tubes

 PCR tubes are used in

DNA extraction, PCR,
qPCR, and other
molecular biology
applications.
 Electrophoresis Chamber
 This equipment electrically charges
molecules, enabling them to drift
towards an oppositely charged
electrode. It uses an electrical
current to manipulate protein
molecules and to separate proteins
by charge or size such as DNA and
RNA.
 Compound Microscope

 A compound microscope is
an instrument that used two
sets of lenses to view
magnified images of small
specimens on a glass slide.
