Glass slide mycole and cover slips: in microscopy, serology, etc. as the solid backing on which test samples are Petri dish: used for preparation of culture media and the culture of organisms they are in Glass beaker: reagent storage Glass flask: gastric acid, or other fluid titration: Pasteur pipette: for aspiration and addition of reagents ...
A microscope slide (top) and a cover slip (bottom) A microscope slide is a thin flat piece of glass, typically 75 by 26 mm (3 by 1 inches) and about 1 mm thick, used to hold objects for examination under a microscope. Typically the object is mounted (secured) on the slide, and then both are inserted together in the microscope for viewing. This ...
McCartney's bottle or Flat medical bottle: for simultaneous solid and liquid cultures. McIntosh and Filde's anaerobic jar: production of anaerobic conditions for organisms that die in the presence of even little oxygen (anaerobiosis), e.g. tetanus bacteria Microscope: to observe microscopic specimens that cannot be seen by the naked eye ...
Instrument Uses Flow cytometer: used for automated cell counting as in total blood count, differential count, etc. : Tissue bath or organ bath or Dale's apparatus: used in full tissue experiments, for example using guinea pig ileum mainly used in pharmacology for application of drugs to these tissues.
A cytocentrifuge, sometimes referred to as a cytospin, [1] is a specialized centrifuge used to concentrate cells in fluid specimens onto a microscope slide so that they can be stained and examined. [2] Cytocentrifuges are used in various areas of the clinical laboratory, such as cytopathology, hematology and microbiology, as well as in ...
An automated analyser is a medical laboratory instrument designed to measure various substances and other characteristics in a number of biological samples quickly, with minimal human assistance. These measured properties of blood and other fluids may be useful in the diagnosis of disease.
The hemocytometer was invented by Louis-Charles Malassez and consists of a thick glass microscope slide with a rectangular indentation that creates a precision volume chamber. This chamber is engraved with a laser-etched grid of perpendicular lines. The device is carefully crafted so that the area bounded by the lines is known, and the depth of ...
Medical syringes: for fluid aspiration Foley catheter: for evacuation or irrigation of the bladder to collect a urine sample Nasogastric tube: for nasogastric aspiration of stomach contents; usually it is not used Water bath: for flotation tests to detect presence of gas, specially for infants (lungs, intestine) as a sign of postpartum life
