Generally speaking, the instruments commonly used in microbiology laboratories are: constant temperature incubator, mold incubator, biochemical incubator, clean workbench, autoclave, oven, heating plate, electric furnace, electronic analytical balance, magnetic stirrer, water bath pot, shaker, centrifuge, low-temperature storage box, pipette, PH meter, spectrophotometer, optical microscope, scanning microscope, homogenizer, etc.
The instruments commonly used in molecular biology and cell biology laboratories include: carbon dioxide incubator, biosafety cabinet, low-temperature storage box, oven, autoclave, analytical balance, ordinary balance, pipette, centrifuge, inverted microscope, PCR instrument, electrophoresis instrument, decoloring shaker, etc.
The instruments commonly used in tissue culture laboratories are: autoclave, oven, shaker, light incubator, artificial climate incubator, analytical balance, ordinary balance, clean workbench, etc.
From the perspective of laboratory workflow, it is divided into sample preservation, sample pretreatment, cultivation process and observation and analysis. Different work links need different instruments.
Generally speaking, the commonly used instruments for sample preservation are refrigerator/ultra-low temperature refrigerator, liquid nitrogen tank, etc. Commonly used instruments for sample pretreatment include pipettes, balances, homogenization/stirring series, centrifuges, freeze dryers, autoclaves and electrophoresis instruments.
The instruments commonly used in the culture process include incubator series, biosafety cabinet/clean workbench, fermentor, shaker, water bath, bottle spinner, PCR instrument, enzyme label instrument and so on. The commonly used instruments for observation and analysis include microscope, colony counter, flow cytometry, DNA sequencer and high performance liquid chromatography series. Bottle washing machines, ultra-pure water series, ultrasonic cleaning machines and other instruments can also be used in biological laboratories.
