WATER DISTILATION UNIT 

Double distillation unit is the most common types of purified water unit used in the basic unit of Research lab. Equipment used for water purification using distillation technique and produce high-quality of purify water.

-20̊ C COLD REFREGERTATOR

-20̊ C cold refrigerator provides secure and reliable preservation of sensitive samples. It is generally used for storing non-volatile reagents and biological specimens. It also has a large internal capacity with 500 Lt. large spaces.

WEIGHING BALANCE (UP TO THREE DIGIT)

It is very important and reliable instrument used for the preparation of various chemical and solution for teaching and research purpose. It provides 1 mg (0.001 g) readability.

HOMOGENIZER

A homogenizer is a piece of laboratory or industrial equipment used for the homogenization of various types of material, such as tissue, plant, food, soil, and many others. Many different models have been developed using various physical technologies for disruption.

COLD CENTRIFUGE

It is a compact instrument ideal for centrifugation of samples that may be temperature sensitive, such as live cells, animals or proteins. Cell fraction technique usually employed in the field of Cell Biology, carried out with the help of cold centrifuge. Many feature interchangeable rotors and adaptors to accommodate a wide range of sample volumes from under 2.5 ml to 15 ml.

UV/VIS SPECTROPHOTOMETER

It is sophisticated instrument used in the biochemistry lab. It is used in biochemical estimation and enzymatic analysis. It is dual beam spectrophotometer worked on both visible and ultraviolet range of light.

THERMAL CYCLER

The polymerase chain reaction, or PCR, is a ubiquitous laboratory technique of molecular biology to amplify a target DNA sequence to millions of copies. Since PCR technology relies on repeated thermal cycling for target amplification, the equipment to automate the process, thermal cyclers, play a critical role in the success of experiments.

MICROTOME

Microtome is machines that cut extremely thin sections from a sample for applications in histology or pathology. The tissue is then cut in the microtome at thicknesses varying from 2 to 50 µm. From there the tissue can be mounted on a microscope slide, stained with appropriate aqueous dye(s) after prior removal of the paraffin, and examined using a light microscope.

HOTPLATE

Hot plate is an electric tabletop burner. A hot plate is a portable self-contained tabletop small appliance used for various applications in the department. In addition, the keep warm function minimizes heat loss to the surrounding, thus allowing constant temperature during the experiment.

WATER BATH

A water bath is laboratory equipment made from a container filled with heated water. It is used to incubate samples in water at a constant temperature over a long period of time.

LAMINAR FLOW

Laminar air flows can maintain a working area devoid of contaminants.  It is commonly employed during the experiment of cell culture. Laminar  create particle-free working environments by projecting air through a filtration system and exhausting it across a work surface in a laminar or uni-directional air stream. 

OVEN

Oven is built for general purposes such as heating and drying. it is also employed for the sterilization process of glass ware and other stainless steel materials used in biological works. It is standard digital ovens which provide accuracy, control and safety.

INCUBATOR

Incubator is a device used to grow and maintain microbiological cultures or cell cultures. The incubator maintains optimal temperature, humidity and other conditions such as the CO (CO₂) and oxygen content of the atmosphere inside.

DISSECTING MICROSCOPE

Widely used for study of small organisms and for Dissection work. Wide glass stage having two stage clips & detachable Hand Rests on both sides.

COMPOUND MICROSCOPE

A high power or compound microscope achieves higher levels of magnification than a stereo or low power microscope. It is used to view smaller specimens such as cell structures which cannot be seen at lower levels of magnification. Essentially, a compound microscope consists of structural and optical components. 

COMPOUND MICROSCOPE WITH CAMERA

This is a digital monocular compound microscope that includes a digital imaging system. Used for studying the object with wider display connected to it.

HUMAN SKELETON SYSTEM

Human life size skeleton: this is a full life size human skeleton replica showing all palpable bones separately hand numbered bones.

COLORIMETER

A colorimeter is a device used in colorimetry. In scientific fields the word generally refers to the device that measures the absorbance of particular wavelengths of light by a specific solution.

INSECT COLLECTION

 Insect collecting refers to the collection of insects and other arthropods for scientific study. Because most insects are small and the majority cannot be identified without the examination of minute morphological characters, entomologists often make and maintain insect collections.

AUTOCLAVE

An autoclave is a pressure chamber used to carry out industrial processes requiring elevated temperature and pressure different from ambient air pressure. Autoclaves are used in medical applications to perform sterilization of instruments and glassware in the laboratory.

CENTRIFUGE

A centrifuge is a piece of equipment that puts an object in rotation around a fixed axis (spins it in a circle), applying a force perpendicular to the axis of spin (outward) that can be very strong. The centrifuge works using the sedimentation principle, where the centrifugal acceleration causes denser substances and particles to move outward in the radial direction. At the same time, objects that are less dense are displaced and move to the center. 

MECHANICAL ANALYTICAL BALANCE

An analytical balance (often called a "lab balance") is a class of balance designed to measure small mass in the sub-milligram range.

UV- TRANSILLUMINATOR

UV-transilluminators are used in molecular biology labs to view DNA (or RNA) that has been separated by electrophoresis through an agarose gel. During or immediately after electrophoresis, the agarose gel is stained with a fluorescent dye which binds to nucleic acid. Exposing the stained gel to a UVB light source causes the DNA/dye to fluoresce and become visible.

OVERHEAD PROJECTOR

An overhead projector (OHP) is a variant of slide projector that is used to display images to an audience. An overhead projector works on the same principle as a 35mm slide projector, in which a focusing lens projects light from an illuminated slide onto a projection screen where a real image is formed.

SLIDE PROJECTOR

35mm. manually-operated slide projector is specially designed for economic slide presentation.
