Common Instruments Used in Biochemistry Laboratory
Instruments Description Use
pH meter This device assesses a It is a tool for measuring solution's acidity or hydrogen ion solutions. alkalinity. It is employed in the biochemistry, chemical, and pharmaceutical industries to gauge the pH of solutions.
Spectrophotometer Is a tool for They frequently used to
quantitatively measure the measuring the concentration of a transmission or substance in an aqueous reflection of infrared, solution and measure ultraviolet, or visible light intensity as a light. function of wavelength.
Centrifuge Is a laboratory tool used Is used to sort particles
to separate fluids, gas or suspended in a liquid liquid, according to according on the size, density. density, and viscosity of the medium, as well as the speed of the rotor. Water Bath It has a thermostatic Is a piece of scientific temperature regulation equipment used to keep and is heated samples warm for a electrically. prolonged amount of time. A temperature range of zero to one hundred degrees Celsius.
Hot Air Oven It is a sterilizing Is used to sterilize objects
technique that is like glassware, forceps, commonly utilized. and syringes made of The holding period is glass. one hour at 160°C.
Calorimeter It is a tool for Used to quantify the heat
determining the amount produced by a chemical of colored material in a or physical process. solution. It entails a quantitative assessment of color.
Micro Pipettes A pipette is a lab
instrument frequently used in chemistry, biology, and medicine to move a precise volume of liquid, frequently as a media dispenser. It is made out of a small tube into which fluid is pumped.
Electrophoresis Is a method of Is a method used in
separation that can laboratories to divide distinguish between DNA, RNA, or protein specific charged molecules according to particles or their size and electrical biomolecules based on charge. The molecules how mobile they are in a are moved by an electric given electric field. current through a gel or other matrix.
Fluorometer When an electron in a It is used to gauge the
sample is hit by and amount of light or excited by light of a fluorescence that various particular wavelength, fluorescing items emit. the electrons in that sample immediately fluoresce or emit light of a different wavelength.
Thermal cycler The thermocycler A device for polymerase
denaturates and chain reaction-assisted reanneals samples with DNA and RNA sample various reagents by amplification. discretely and pre- programmed processes raising and lowering the temperature of the samples in a holding block.
High Performance Liquid Is a method for dividing To separate a
Chromatography (HPLC) up a liquid mixture's mixture of substances components. A stream in analytical of solvent (mobile chemistry or phase) is used to move a biochemistry in order liquid sample through a to recognize, column that is filled measure, or purify with a separation each of the mixture's medium (stationary constituent parts. phase).
