How do I use a conductivity meter?

A conductivity meter is a laboratory equipment, which allows measuring the amount of electrical current or conductance of a solution, in other words, allows knowing the conductivity (electrical charge) in water body, parameter of utmost importance in the evaluation of the general health of natural water bodies.

Conductivity Meter: what is it?

Conductivity is the ability of a material to conduct an electric current, that is, a measure of the total ionic concentration of a solution; the instrument used to know the conductivity or electrical charge in a body of water of natural origin is the conductivity meter and they are very common in any water treatment procedure or in environmental laboratories. 

Laboratory Shakers

Laboratory rotators are devices used to mix tubes with fluids such as blood, biological fluids, solutions, among others, to obtain homogeneous suspensions, or that there is dispersion, heat transfer. They are equipment consisting of an electric motor with a drive shaft oriented vertically and attached to a lightly mounted rubber part, or to an arm attached to a moving rack, to mix liquids or prepare solutions and suspensions.

What are the differences between N-type and B-type autoclaves?

An autoclave is a cylindrical instrument, vertical or horizontal, designed to work with a high internal pressure, and used to sterilize materials and instruments using water vapor at high pressure and temperature. This equipment consists of a metal container with thick walls and hermetic closure, which allows sterilizing under high pressure, ensuring maximum disinfection of all clinical, laboratory, and dental materials.

Horizontal laminar flow hoods and in vitro botany

Horizontal laminar flow hoods are workstations that have a built-in filter system for air filtration and are therefore used in a wide variety of applications. The hoods offer a large work area, with glass side walls, illuminated by a fluorescent lamp.

Horizontal laminar flow hoods and assisted reproduction

A horizontal laminar flow hood is laboratory equipment that is used with the main objective of obtaining a pollution-free environment, since it provides a sterile and safe area within the laboratory, being able to perform any activity that is required safely, including assisted reproduction procedures.

What technology does a lab freeze-drier use?

Freeze-drying is a laboratory process that has novel applications in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries, it is carried out in a laboratory instrument called freeze-drying that is used to stabilize, store or increase the shelf life of sensitive biological materials.

Why is it necessary to use a lyophilizer in a laboratory?

A lyophilizer is a laboratory instrument used to carry out the process of lyophilization, since this equipment is designed to remove moisture from a product by drying it cold, thus generating a completely dehydrated product that can be rehydrated when needed to use, without losing its common properties.

What is a Water Purification System?

Water is one of the most precious and vital riches for humanity, to the point that it is primary for life. But, despite this, it can also contain and transport microorganisms and bacteria that can potentially cause serious health problems (including high mortality rates in the developing world).
