Autoclave
- Autoclaves are machines utilised for industrial and scientific processes demanding high temperature and pressure.
- Commonly used in surgical settings for sterilisation and in the chemical industry for curing coatings, rubber vulcanisation and hydrothermal synthesis.
- Vital in industrial applications, particularly in composite manufacturing.
Biological Safety Cabinet
- A Biological Safety Cabinet (BSC) or biosafety cabinet is a ventilated workspace used in laboratories for handling materials potentially contaminated with pathogens.
- Its main purpose is to safeguard laboratory workers and the environment from these pathogens by maintaining a defined biosafety level.
- The cabinet ensures safety by HEPA-filtering all exhaust air, effectively removing harmful bacteria and viruses before exiting.
Homogenizer
- A homogeniser is laboratory or industrial equipment employed to homogenise various materials like tissue, plants, food and soil.
- Its primary function is to mix substances effectively by reducing particle size.
- Decreasing particle size enables easier combination with other substances and ensures longer-lasting homogeneous mixing
Laboratory Incubator
- An incubator is a device utilised to cultivate and sustain microbiological or cell cultures.
- It maintains ideal conditions including temperature, humidity, CO2, and oxygen levels within the chamber.
- Features a fan to ensure air circulation, preventing localised hot spots.
- Incubators serve multiple functions such as shaking, sterilisation and storage of cultures.
Laboratory Furnace
- Laboratory furnaces offer continuous heating for processing samples and materials.
- Constructed from high-temperature (refractory) materials to withstand and maintain high temperatures.
- Frequently operate for extended periods, sometimes months, to complete processing sets.
- Muffle furnaces, equipped with ceramic fiber insulation, allow faster heating ramp rates than standard box furnaces.
- Used in laboratories for various purposes such as gravimetric analysis, sintering of small organics, quantitative analysis and sample volatility studies.
Magnetic Stirrer and Hot Plates
- A hot plate stirrer, also known as a hot plate magnetic stirrer, is a laboratory instrument used for simultaneously stirring and heating solutions.
- Its purpose is to expedite reactions and facilitate proper dissolution of solutes in solvents during experiments.
Microplate Reader
- A microplate reader is a laboratory instrument used to measure chemical, biological, or physical reactions and analytes within the wells of a microplate.
- Unlike standard spectrophotometers that measure one probe at a time in a cuvette, a microplate reader allows higher throughput by measuring multiple samples simultaneously.
- Basic models are commonly compatible with 96-well microplates (absorbance 96 plate reader) and enable efficient analysis of multiple samples in parallel.
Sieve Shaker
- A sieve shaker separates particles by passing them through chambers with mesh filters while agitating the sample for complete separation.
- Some equipment allows sieving of both solid and liquid samples.
- Variations exist in the type of sieving, maximum and minimum particle sizes processed and the degree of automation among different equipment models.
Mixer and Vortexer
- A vortex mixer, or vortexer, is a simple device used commonly in laboratories to mix small vials of liquid.
- It consists of an electric motor with the drive shaft oriented vertically and attached to a cupped rubber piece mounted slightly off-centre.
- As the motor runs the rubber piece oscillates rapidly in a circular motion.
Atomic Absorption Spectrometry
- Atomic Absorption Spectrometry (AAS) is a cost-effective and efficient technology used to analyse elements in solution.
- Primarily applied in various fields like food and beverage, water analysis, clinical research and pharmaceutical analysis.
- AAS is a Spectro Analytical method used for quantitatively determining chemical elements in their gaseous state as free atoms.
- It operates based on the principle of light absorption by free metallic ions.
Water bath & Oil bath
- Utilised for maintaining a constant temperature to incubate samples for extended periods.
- Preferred for heating flammable chemicals, offering a safer alternative to an open flame.
- Commonly used to heat chemical reactions in laboratories.
Fume Hood
- A ventilated enclosure capturing gases, vapours and fumes from the work area.
- An exhaust fan at the laboratory’s top pulls contaminants through ducts and releases them into the atmosphere.
- For highly hazardous materials, an enclosed glovebox isolates the operator from direct contact with materials and tools.
- Enclosures may maintain negative air pressure to prevent any potential escape through small air leaks.

Laboratory Centrifuge
- Common lab equipment used to separate particles from a solution based on size, shape, density and viscosity.
- The separation process relies on rotor speed, spinning molecules at high speed around an axis in a centrifuge rotor.
- Widely utilised in molecular biology laboratories as a valuable and frequently used technique for separating molecules with different densities.
Laboratory Shaker & 3-D Rockers
- Laboratory device used for molecular and biological mixing with less aggressive action compared to shakers.
- Commonly employed for staining and de-staining gels after electrophoresis, hybridization, washing, blotting, cell culture and gentle mixing.
- Two-dimensional rockers utilise a seesaw motion platform to create waves for liquid sample mixing in laboratories.
FTIR Spectrometer
- Widely utilised in organic synthesis, polymer science, petrochemical engineering, pharmaceuticals and food analysis.
- Offers diverse applications from process monitoring to compound identification and analysing mixture components.
- Commonly used for bacterial detection and identification, employing Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) to conduct biochemical scans of whole bacterial cells or parts at infrared frequencies (4,000 – 600 cm (-1)).
Real-time quantitative PCR
- PCR-based technique combining target DNA sequence amplification with concentration quantification.
- Utilised to measure gene expression levels, validate RNAi for studying gene function loss, and detect pathogens like viruses for diagnosing infectious diseases.
Colony Counter
- Instrument commonly used to count bacterial or microorganism colonies on a plate with a gel-based growth medium.
- Estimates microorganism density in liquid cultures by counting individual colonies on surfaces like agar plates, slides, mini gels, or petri dishes.
- Applications include Ames testing, bacterial mutation assays, and counting E. coli bacterial colonies.
