Definition Kligler’s Iron Agar (KIA) Test is a biochemical test used to examine bacteria’s ability to ferment glucose or lactose (or both) in a variety of ways; or lack of ability to ferment them at all. It is also used…
What is a centrifuge machine? A centrifuge is a laboratory device used to separate sample components based on their densities. It works by rapidly spinning the sample, causing the heavier components to flow to the outside of the tube or container while…
Introduction A centrifuge tube is a thin, cylindrical tube with a circular bottom and a cover that is used in a laboratory centrifuge machine. Centrifuge tubes, which are composed of plastic or glass, are used to separate materials depending on density.…
Introduction An industrial centrifuge is a machine that separates or purifies materials on large scale by using centrifugal force. Centrifuges function by spinning a sample at high speeds and separating the components of the sample based on density, size, or…
Introduction The MTT assay, abbreviated “3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide” assay, is a colorimetric assay frequently used to evaluate cell viability and proliferation. It is commonly used to investigate the impact of different substances, medications, or experimental settings on cells health because it…
Introduction to Centrifuge Machines Centrifuge machines are important scientific tools that separate particles in a liquid suspension depending on density, sedimentation rate, and size. The centrifugation concept is based on the use of centrifugal force created by the fast spinning…
Definition and General Overview: Stereomicroscope, also known as a dissecting microscope or stereo microscope, is a type of light microscope that allows scientists to see and manipulate specimens in three dimensions. In contrast to compound microscopes, which are designed for…
Petri Dish History The Petri plate also known as the Petri dish was invented in the nineteenth century by German bacteriologist Julius Richar Petri while working in Koch’s laboratory. Petri was an assistant to Robert Koch, a well-known German microbiologist.…
Introduction Microscopes are useful instruments in a variety of sectors, ranging from scientific inquiry to medical diagnostics. These instruments enable us to study the tiny world, revealing hidden features and unlocking information. In this post, we dive into the complexities…
Introduction Lyophilization, commonly known as freeze-drying, is an intriguing process employed in a variety of sectors, most notably medicines, biotechnology, and food preservation. This article delves into the complexities of lyophilization, diving into its definition, historical evolution, and relevance in…
