Biochemistry, or biological chemistry, is the study of chemical processes within and relating to living organisms. [1] A sub-discipline of both chemistry and biology, biochemistry may be divided into three fields: structural biology, enzymology, and metabolism. Over the last decades of the 20th century, biochemistry has become successful at ...
A wash bottle is a squeeze bottle with a nozzle, used to rinse various pieces of laboratory glassware, such as test tubes and round bottom flasks. Wash bottles are sealed with a screw-top lid. When hand pressure is applied to the bottle, the liquid inside becomes pressurized and is forced out of the nozzle into a narrow stream of liquid.
A laboratory centrifuge is a piece of laboratory equipment, driven by a motor, which spins liquid samples at high speed. There are various types of centrifuges, depending on the size and the sample capacity.
[4] [9] Less commonly, some TD pipettes are made "to contain" as per manufacturer and made to be blown out. [10] [11] A set of two rings printed on the upper end of the pipette indicate that it is a "blow out" type and should be blown using a rubber bulb. Do not blow the solution out if the pipette has no rings on the upper end. [3]
Biological specimens in an elementary school science lab. A biological specimen (also called a biospecimen) is a biological laboratory specimen held by a biorepository for research. Such a specimen would be taken by sampling so as to be representative of any other specimen taken from the source of the specimen. When biological specimens are ...
Photograph of a BioTek MultiFlo FX bulk reagent dispenser. A bulk reagent dispenser (BRD) is a type of commercially available laboratory equipment that dispenses liquid reagents in an automated fashion into microplates, multiwell plates, or microplate-like reservoirs, and specifically have the ability to transfer liquid from a "bulk" (i.e. >1L) source reservoir, but still dispense a ...
[1] [6] Hence, there are multiple subdisciplines within biology, each defined by the nature of their research questions and the tools that they use. [7] [8] [9] Like other scientists, biologists use the scientific method to make observations, pose questions, generate hypotheses, perform experiments, and form conclusions about the world around ...
A pipette (sometimes spelled as pipet) is a type of laboratory tool commonly used in chemistry and biology to transport a measured volume of liquid, often as a media dispenser. Pipettes come in several designs for various purposes with differing levels of accuracy and precision , from single piece glass pipettes to more complex adjustable or ...
