Polyacrylamide Gel Electrophoresis (PAGE) is a laboratory technique used to separate proteins and nucleic acids based on their size and charge by making them move through a polyacrylamide gel under electricity.
Immunoelectrophoresis (IEP) is a powerful analytical technique that combines the principles of electrophoresis and immunodiffusion. In simple terms, it helps to separate and identify proteins (antigens) in a mixture by allowing them to migrate in an electric field and then testing them with specific antibodies.
Spectroscopy is the study of how matter interacts with electromagnetic radiation (light, X-rays, gamma rays, etc.). This interaction can involve absorption, emission, or scattering of radiation. By studying these processes, scientists can obtain valuable information about the composition, structure, and properties of substances.
Electron Spin Resonance (ESR), also known as Electron Paramagnetic Resonance (EPR) or Electron Magnetic Resonance (EMR), is a powerful spectroscopic technique used to study materials with unpaired electrons.
Pulsed Field Gel Electrophoresis (PFGE) is an advanced laboratory technique used to separate very large DNA molecules. Unlike standard gel electrophoresis, PFGE can separate DNA fragments greater than 50 kilobase pairs (kbp) up to several megabase pairs (Mb).
An Analytical Balance is a highly sensitive laboratory instrument designed to measure the mass of substances with extreme accuracy. It is a Class II balance often referred to as a laboratory balance, capable of measuring solid, liquid, granular substances, or powders.
A colony counter is a device used to count bacterial, fungal, or other microorganism colonies that grow on solid culture plates. It is widely used in microbiology, food industries, pharmaceuticals, environmental labs, and clinical diagnostics.
Gel electrophoresis is mainly used to separate DNA, RNA, and proteins based on their size, charge, and shape. It is one of the cornerstones of molecular biology and biotechnology. Gel electrophoresis is like a molecular sieve that helps scientists “see” and separate biomolecules.
Biological Safety Cabinets (BSCs), also called biosafety cabinets or microbiological safety cabinets, are enclosed ventilated laboratory workspaces designed to protect personnel, samples, and the environment from biohazardous materials.
A laboratory water bath is one of the most essential and commonly used instruments in biology, chemistry, medical, and industrial laboratories. It is primarily used for incubating samples at a constant temperature over a long period of time.
