It is used for specific task.
EQUIPMENT
It is used for specific purpose.
APPARATUS
device used to grow and maintain microbiological cultures or cell cultures.
INCUBATOR
maintains optimal temperature, humidity and other conditions such as the CO2 and oxygen content of the atmosphere inside
INCUBATOR
uses steam under pressure to kill harmful bacteria, viruses, fungi, and spores on items that are placed inside a pressure vessel
AUTOCLAVE
used to sterilize equipment for about 15-20 mins. with 121 degee Celsius
AUTOCLAVE
used for media preparation; dissolving agar for nutrient growth; heating lab samples
MICROWAVE OVEN
Sterilization using dry heat, specifically for glasswares
DRYING OVEN
Storage with specific temp.; for glasswares to avoid moisture
REFRIGERATOR
Separate substances of different densities
Centrifuge
precise and accurate measurement of mass of an object
ANALYTICAL BALANCE
Used for measuring higher weight capacity or large samples
TOP LOADING BALANCE/ DIGITAL BALANCE
Indirect heating; maintains water at constant temperature
WATER BATH
keeps a controlled work surface for applications requiring a sterile work space whereas contaminant access is being prevented by a constant filtered airflow across the surface.
LAMINAR FLOWHOOD
For safety working with materials
LAMINAR FLOWHOOD
Dispense measured volumes of liquids
PIPETTOR
employed in the preparation of microbiological culture media to ensure an even distribution of nutrients and promote the growth of microorganisms for research or diagnostic purposes.
LAB BLENDERS
uniform samples for analysis, such as DNA extraction, protein isolation, or microbial studies.
LAB BLENDER/ HOMOGENIZER
Blending with glasswares
VORTEX MIXER
sterilization of apparatuses within 15 minutes
PRESSURE COOKER
TRUE OR FALSE
Reagents are considered as lab materials.
TRUE
Transfer solid or dense sample from colony
INOCULATING NEEDLE
Transfer liquid media for staining slides
INOCULATING LOOP
designed for sample dilution of water, dairy products, foods, and pharmaceuticals prior to microbiological testing; store solutions
DILUTION BOTTLE
used to examine living microorganisms in a hanging drop. Depression is approximately 15 mm in diameter and 0.8 mm deep. Slide is 25 X 75 mm and 1.0 mm thick
DEPRESSION SLIDES
to hold the specimen in place and protect it from contamination from the environment
COVER SLIP
used to culture different types of cells, including bacteria and molds
PETRI DISH
autoclavable attachments for the uptake and dispensing of liquids using a pipette
PIPET TIPS AND TIP BOX
Used to stain cells and tissues
STAINING JAR

BENT GLASS ROD OR L-ROD
collection, storage, and transportation of small amounts of liquid or solid samples
screw-capped tubes
used for rinsing glasswares
Wash bottles
Used for cooking and media preparation
ERLENMEYER FLASK
Measure liquid volume
Graduated cylinder
for mixing liquids, or solids and liquids
STIRRING ROD
Small solids, scoop tiny particles
SPATULA
to handle sterile materials, such as agar plates, sterile swabs, or sterile packaging, to maintain aseptic conditions
FORCEPS
Dispense measured volume of liquids and dilution
PIPET
used for heating, sterilization, and combustion in a laboratory
