Laboratory Equipment

Which Chemistry Lab Supplies and Equipment Do You Need As A Start -up Lab? 

Biotech, artificial intelligence, smart devices, green energy, electric vehicles, and green chemistries are the top innovations for 2021. Whether your startup is engaged in spatial computing or whole-genome synthesis, Lab Pro has the research hardware you require to shift your lab into high drive. 

Microscope

Lab Pro hosts a plethora of microscopes, from top-of-the-line high tech to student versions. Stereo microscopes magnify between 10x-40x and are useful for viewing printed circuit boards, wires, and fabric.

• Compound microscopes magnify 40x, 100x, and 400x. You can see blood cells, bacteria, and tissue with these.
• Inverted microscopes provide 40x-400x magnification. Cell biology and microbiology are disciplines that use inverted magnification devices.
• Metallurgical microscopes offer 50x-500x viewing and are used to detect surfaces like ceramics, wood, and liquid crystals.
• Polarizing microscopes analyze selected light waves and are perfect for the chemical and pharmaceutical industries.

This Meiji Live Cell Phase microscope will help you see images of living cells and tissue.

The Meiji IM7200 Trinocular Inverted Metallurgical microscope is perfect for discerning the surfaces of coating for aerospace, automobile, and composites industries.

Oven

Ovens are omnipresent in science labs, with many processes and test methods requiring them. Sterilization, non-volatile solids determination, and drying are all dependent on these tools.

• Convection ovens use fans to ensure consistent distribution of temperature. These are great for drying and testing samples. These types of ovens utilize either venting or forced exhaust.
• Vacuum ovens have no convection for samples that need an inert atmosphere.
• Safety ovens are designed with blow-out panels to help protect from injury.
• Gravity convection ovens are the lowest cost and can help prevent powders from blowing away, but they have the least uniform heat distribution.

A forced air oven can be perfect economical choice for determining the amount of non-volatile material in a batch of a polymer or coating mix.

A vacuum oven is used for removing volatiles from implantable medical devices, semiconductors, or cannabis products.

Water Bath… and a Chiller

Having both water baths and chillers are essential for many labs.

• Water baths keep samples warm at the temperature of choice for warming reagents, melting substrates for incubation, chemical reactions, and stability studies. This 20x12x6 100°C water bath is suitable for many samples.
• Chillers are critical for industries such as aerospace, automobile, cell cytology, and semiconductor.

This Yamamoto A CF-312LA Water Circulator 3.9l has a 220vpowerful 3.9L closed circulation system with excellent cooling capacity designed to work with laboratory equipment such as rotary evaporators

Incubator

Lab incubators regulate the environment for cell and tissue cultures by controlling temperature, contaminants, humidity, and CO₂. Lab Pro has incubators of all sizes, but this Yamamoto benchtop version just might be the right size for your startup lab.

Thermal Cycler

Thermal cyclers, or Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCA) Machines, amplify DNA segments vi PCA. Molecular biology labs rely on thermal cyclers for cloning DNA and sequencing genes.

Centrifuge

Centrifuges separate particles in a liquid based on density and g-force. Well-known applications include blood and dairy separations; however, they are also widely used in manufacturing, DNA or protein extraction, and analysis of waste or recycle streams. Filtration centrifugation uses a filter to remove particles, while sedimentation relies only on centrifuge forces for separation.

A benchtop centrifuge can be a great addition to your startup lab.

Shaker

Shakers are built for many purposes and sizes, from culturing microbes to blending a dye into a paint mix. Lab Pro carries a wide variety of different types and sizes of shakers.

• Orbital shakers are the most widely used and modern systems for microbes, algae, and cell applications like plasmid expression or inoculum prep. These shakers deliver continuous and gentle swirling in a circular motion.
• See-saw rockers create waves for gentle mixing for washing blots and gels or DNA extractions.
• Linear shakers are reciprocating and are less suited for demanding cell cultivation purposes. They tend to be on the more economical range and are often used for solubilizing, chemical extractions, and general lab mixing.
• Incubator shakers perform the dual duty of mixing while warming.

Autoclave

Every lab married to the medical industry, from pharmaceutical manufacturing to hospitals must have autoclaves to sterilize media, instruments, and waste. In addition, several types of materials, such as pharmaceutical glassware, rubber stoppers for glassware, and semiconductors components are tested using autoclave methods.

Lab Pro stocks several types of autoclaves that will fit your design and price range, as well as associated supplies.

The AUTOCLAVE Bioclave MINI 8 Lt for professionals like dentists or tattoo artist who require compactness and convenience.

Soil scientists or composites manufacturers may desire a more industrial style like the Yamato SK-101C AUTOCLAVE, which is also available at a more economical price.

Refractometer

Refractometers use the principle of refraction to help determine concentration of a substance. Industries that use refractometers include pharmaceutical, food & beverage, and polymer manufacturing. The Abbe 0-95.0 Brix refractometer is available on Lab Pro’s website.
