For any applications that require repetitive pipetting tasks, such as serial dilutions, PCR, and next-generation sequencing, automated liquid handlers (ALHs) are the way to go
Lab balances play an instrumental role in nearly every laboratory, regardless of its field or focus.
Baths and chillers are crucial to a variety of tasks and workflows across the sciences
Biological safety cabinets (BSCs) are designed to protect sensitive samples from environmental contaminants and to keep workers safe from the potentially hazardous or infectious samples they are working with
The centrifuge is a key workhorse of the lab
Chemical usage is a necessary and sometimes challenging component of many laboratories
Lab cold storage solutions are critical to keeping valuable reagents and priceless samples safe
Evaporators remove water or organic solvents from samples
Freeze dryers are used to preserve food, extend the shelf of pharmaceutical products and vaccines, and more via the process of sublimation
Fume hoods enable laboratory personnel to safely work with materials that produce hazardous fumes or volatile vapors
Gas chromatography (GC) is an analytical chemistry technique used to separate, detect, and quantitate the chemical components of a sample mixture
Laboratory gas generators deliver purified gas directly to lab systems
This equipment cleans glassware more effectively than handwashing and limits your lab workers’ exposure to potentially harmful substances
Gloves boxes are completely closed compartments that allow users to manipulate samples with gloves in a controlled environment
Homogenizers are used to break down samples before they are analyzed
Incubators are versatile instruments used for ?culturing cells and tissues, shelf-life studies, materials testing, and more

Furnishing your laboratory with the right countertops, cabinets, seating, and storage can help to improve productivity and efficiency
Liquid chromatography (LC) is a technique that can be used to separate, identify, and quantify components in a mixture
Mass spectrometers measure the mass-to-charge ratio of ions and help identify unknown compounds via molecular weight determination for both pure samples and complex mixtures
Microplate handling robots move microplates from one location in a workflow to another
Microscopes are a staple in labs of all kinds
Moisture analyzers are required to detect the presence and quantity of water in a sample
Lab monitoring uses sensors and software to track the performance and stability of the lab environment and key equipment and instruments in the lab
When purchasing technology for PCR and qPCR, consider the accuracy of the temperature and fluorescence measurements
pH meters are used to measure the acidity and alkalinity of laboratory samples
Pipettes are an essential liquid handling tool in any lab
Laboratory pumps are suitable for a wide range of applications
Personal protective equipment (PPE) and other safety equipment are crucial for protecting workers from everyday hazards
Spectrophotometers/spectrometers measure the intensity of visible, UV, or infrared light that passes through a solution
Stirrers and mixers are used for mixing a variety of samples in the lab
Supplies and consumables are all the materials that the lab needs to execute its work
Valves perform a vital function in controlling fluid flow through a pipe or tubing
Water purification systems remove contaminants from feed water
Automating everyday lab tasks can free up your lab employees for other, more complex undertakings while improving data quality and reproducibility
If buying your laboratory equipment brand new puts you over budget, pre-owned equipment could be an option
Finding the right candidate to fill a role in your lab can be difficult, time-consuming, and expensive
Pressures are used to form a wide range of samples, pellets, and test specimens in the lab
Outsourcing is an effective way to handle tasks you may not have the capacity, expertise, or certification to carry out in-house
Hiring a laboratory relocation company is one of the best ways to ensure a smooth transition to a new facility
Equipment repair and maintenance are critical to laboratory operations
