Instrument

Description

1. 

Scanning Electron microscope

Scanning electron microscopes are used to investigate the ultra structure of a wide range of biological and inorganic specimens i.e. microorganisms, cells, large molecules, biopsy samples, metals and crystals

2. 

High performance liquid chromatography (HPLC)

The main purpose of the HPLC technique is to identify, quantify and purify a particular analyte or compound. Both quantitative and qualitative analysis can be done.

3. 

Gas liquid chromatography (GLC)

GLC includes testing purity of a substance, prepare new compounds from mixture(preparative chromatography), indentifying and separating different components of a mixture.

4. 

Atomic absorption spectrophotometer (AAS)

>Atomic absorption spectrophotometer or AAS is a technique for measuring the csoncentrations of metallic elements in different materials.

5. 

Spectrophotometer

A spectrophotometer is an analytical instrument used for the objective calculation of visible light, UV light or infrared light emission or reflection. Spectrophotometers measure intensity as a function of the wavelength of the light source.

6. 

Bacteriological Incubator

Bacteriological incubator is used for storage of bacteria plate and bacterial culture growth at 370 C.

7. 

Biological oxygen demand (BOD) incubator

BOD incubators are especially useful for determining levels of organic matter and nitrogen in waste water samples. BOD incubator provides the required temperature for the growth of microorganisms and allows performing the BOD testing.  

8. 

Chemical oxygen demand(COD) digestion assembly

COD digestion apparatus are used for determining chemical oxygen demand in effluents like waste water, industrial water, sewage water which are discarded after processing.

9. 

Laminar air flow

Laminar air flow is  defined as air flow in

which the entire body of air within a designated space is uniform in both velocity and direction.

10. 

Autoclave

Autoclave provide a physical method for disinfection and sterilization. It works with a combination of steam, pressure and time.

11. 

Flame photometer

Flame photometer is an analytical instrument used in clinical laboratories for determining of sodium, potassium, lithium and calcium ions in body fluids.

12. 

pH meter

pH meter is an instrument used to measure acidity or alkalinity of a solution.

13. 

Turbidity meter

Turbidity instruments are used to determine water clarity by measuring the average volume of scattered light.

14. 

Muffle furnace

A muffle furnace or muffle oven is a furnace in which the subject material is isolated from the fuel and all of the products of combustion, including gases and fly ash.

15. 

Hot air oven

Hot air ovens are electrical devices which use dry heat sterilize. They use a thermostat to control the temperature.

16. 

Water bath rectangular

The purpose of water bath sahaker is to steadily shake and mix samples while maintaining a constant temperature.

17. 

Repairable dust sampler (Envirotech APM 460 NL)

Respirable dust sampler uses an improved cyclone with a sharper cutoff to separate the coarser particulates from the air stream before filtering it on the glass microfiber filter.

18. 

Deep Freezer

Deep freezers are the testing equipment that are used to preserve and store food products, medical equipments, blood samples, medicines and injections, etc. For a long period of time.

19.
