Biomedical Science Lab Equipment Flashcards

A conical-shaped container used for holding and mixing liquids, especially during reactions where splattering might occur. It's not ideal for precise volume measurements.

A general-purpose container for stirring, mixing, and heating liquids. While versatile, it's less accurate for measuring volumes than a graduated cylinder.

A cylindrical container used for measuring liquid volumes with moderate accuracy. It offers more precision than a beaker.

A plastic tool with a bulb used to measure or transfer small quantities of liquid, typically a single drop at a time. It's often disposable and sterile for specific applications.

A highly accurate instrument used to measure and dispense minuscule volumes of liquids. It often uses a digital dial for precise volume control.

A small tube specifically designed to hold samples that are processed in a centrifuge, a device that separates substances by density.

A rack that organizes and supports multiple micro-centrifuge tubes during experiments, ensuring stability and easy handling.

A cylindrical glass container typically used for mixing, heating, and holding small volumes of chemicals or samples.

A specialized apparatus used to separate DNA fragments based on their size through a process called gel electrophoresis.

An electric device that rapidly mixes small liquid samples by shaking them up and down in a vertically oriented cup-like mechanism.

A machine that amplifies specific segments of DNA by repeated cycles of heating, cooling, and enzyme activity. It's a crucial tool in molecular biology research.

A device that produces an open flame using the combustion of alcohol. Commonly used for heating purposes in laboratory settings.

A machine that separates various samples based on their density by spinning them at high speeds. It's a common tool in biology and chemistry labs.

An electrically powered, portable heating system for experiments. It offers a safe and controlled way to heat liquids and other substances in the laboratory.

A tool used for transferring solid chemical substances from one container to another. It's often made of a flat, scapula-like blade.

A device used for incubating samples in water at stable temperatures over extended periods. It helps maintain a consistent environment for biological processes.

A brush specifically designed to clean test tubes and graduated cylinders. Its long, thin handle and bristles help remove residues and maintain cleanliness.

A device that provides a controlled environment for safe cell and tissue culture work. It regulates essential parameters like temperature, humidity, and contamination levels.

A metal pole with a base that supports laboratory glassware, offering stability during reactions that need heating with a Bunsen burner.

A clamp specifically designed to secure burettes to a stand, enhancing convenience during titration experiments.

A computer interface that gathers data, creates graphs, and performs analyses from laboratory experiments. It helps visualize and interpret experimental results.

A tool used in microbiology to collect and transfer microbial cultures from one medium to another. It's often made of a small, loop-shaped wire.

A flat dish used for growing cell cultures in a controlled setting. It's commonly used in microbiology and cell biology experiments.

A tube intended for collecting samples, often used for biological specimens. It's designed to hold and preserve the collected material.

An optical instrument that uses a combination of lenses to magnify small objects for detailed examination. It's a key tool in microscopy.

Essential gear worn by laboratory workers to protect themselves from injuries or infections. It includes items like gloves, masks, and goggles.
