Laboratory centrifuges: care and maintenance
The care and maintenance of these laboratory equipment is indispensable to extend the useful life of the apparatus and mainly to obtain effective and efficient results without contamination, although there are routines or general recommendations to protect,
How many types of laboratory centrifuges are there?
It is a device used in the processes of separation of sedimentation of the liquid and solid components of a sample, this device generates rotational movements and through centrifugal force accelerates the decantation or sedimentation of the components of the sample, according to their density, there are different types of centrifuges, which pursue the same objectives.
Laboratory centrifuge: what is its function?
The centrifuge is a laboratory equipment that generates rotational movements, it has the objective of separating the components that constitute a substance. This equipment applies a sustained centrifugal force (that is, a force produced by rotation) to push matter out of the center of rotation.
What is a clinical centrifuge?
A clinical centrifuge is a laboratory instrument that separates cellular components, blood plasma and serum, cellular elements from urine samples and other biological liquids, through rotational movements. It does this by applying sustained centrifugal force (that is, a force produced by rotation) to propel elements away from the center of rotation, allowing particles to separate in a liquid medium by sedimentation.
What is histopathology?
Histopathology is a branch of pathology that addresses the diagnosis of diseases through the analysis of tissues, integrating both their macroscopic and microscopic characteristics. It plays a leading role in clinical diagnosis since the analysis of the morphology of the cell allows to determine with greater precision the pathological alteration that affects the tissue and, therefore, to reach an accurate diagnosis.
In a pathological anatomy laboratory: what is the function of a tissue inclusor?
The performance of the equipment of tissue inclusor, is used for the integration of paraffin as standard method in the production of tissue blocks, to cut it into sections. This procedure is performed using an inclusion center, surrounding the tissues with a medium such as paraffin wax, which when cooled and solidified, provides sufficient support for the section cut.
What is a flotation bath and cooling plate in pathological anatomy?
These equipment are part of the essential requirements in a laboratory of pathological anatomy, complement the services offered by labtech, these devices work with tissues, important samples in the processes of histology and pathology, each with a particular function, fulfilling a goal, improving the capabilities of the laboratory.
Warming blankets: How are they used?
The heating blanket is a laboratory equipment that generates heat in an efficient, environmentally friendly, clean and safe way, making it an essential equipment, whether it is for technological, research or production applications. It is mainly used to heat or quench organic liquids placed in reaction kettles, round bottom flasks or reaction vessels for the boiling, evaporation, distillation or extraction process.
Types of warming blankets
The heating blanket is a laboratory equipment used mainly in chemistry and biology laboratories, whose main function is to apply heat, evenly, to several containers with samples inside. This equipment is designed for use with difficult to position flasks and funnels and offers an alternative to thermoregulated baths.
Heating blankets and water bath: differences
Heating blankets and water baths are laboratory equipment used in different areas and each one has its own distinctive characteristics and applications, which we will explain below.
