Laboratory Equipment

Types of General Laboratory Equipment or Physics and Chemistry

There are so many types of lab equipment that are often used for various research or research both in the fields of chemistry, physics, biology and even agriculture, animal husbandry and health. All types or models have different functions ranging from for example a measuring cup to measuring various types of materials or sampling that will be used to research how much or how much. In addition, for example, a rotary evaporator is a type of laboratory equipment used to convert some / all solvents from liquid to vapor. And various types of other laboratory equipment that are indeed many types.

1. Test Tube

Test tube is one type of laboratory equipment made of glass or plastic. The test tube serves as a tube-shaped place for experiments or culturing microorganisms in a liquid medium or reacting chemicals in the laboratory.

2. Measuring Cups Laboratory

Measuring cups are laboratory equipment that serves to measure the volume of liquids, can be used to measure solid objects such as flour, sugar, and so on. The measuring cup is a tall glass with a scale along the wall. Measuring cups are made of polypropylene because of its good chemical resistance or made of polymethylpentene because its transparency makes the glass lighter than glass, so it should not be used to measure hot solutions/solvents. Measuring cups have various sizes from 5 ml to 2 liters. The measuring cup is cylindrical in shape with each marking line on the measuring cup representing the amount of liquid that has been measured.

3. Hematology Analyzer

Hematology analyzer is one type of measuring instrument that functions to measure samples in the form of blood. This medical device is often used in medical places or health clinics that are used for various medical examinations such as hemoglobin, platelets and leukocytes and various other functions.

4. Laboratory hot plate stirrer

A laboratory hot plate stirrer is one type of laboratory tool that is often used as a mixing material which is added to a substance or liquid to be analyzed. With this tool, the substance or liquid is mixed homogeneously, it requires a stirrer. With this stirrer equipment, it will be easier to stir or mix substances and liquids that will be examined quickly and easily.

5. Rheometer

Rheometer is one of the Rubber Testing Equipment, its function is to test the polymer properties of the rubber material before, and during the use of the rubber. In the rubber industry, this tool has become a must-have tool to control the quality of rubber products, such as tires, shoes, and various other rubber products.
