INOCULATING LOOPS
Inoculating loops are simple laboratory tools used to transfer microorganisms from one medium to another, such as from a culture broth to an agar plate. Made of metal (usually nichrome or platinum) or plastic, they have a small loop at the end that holds a tiny amount of liquid or cells. They are essential in microbiology for aseptic techniques.

A hydrometer is an instrument used to measure the specific gravity (relative density) of liquids. It consists of a sealed glass tube with a weighted bottom, allowing it to float upright. The level to which it sinks indicates the liquid’s density. Hydrometers are commonly used in brewing, winemaking, and battery testing.
PCR tubes are small, thin-walled plastic tubes used in Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) to hold DNA samples during thermal cycling. Made of polypropylene, they ensure efficient heat transfer and chemical resistance. They typically come in 0.2 mL or 0.5 mL sizes, with flat or domed caps. PCR tubes are essential for precise and contamination-free DNA amplification.
A vacuum distillation glass set is a laboratory apparatus used to distill liquids at reduced pressure, allowing substances with high boiling points to vaporize at lower temperatures. This prevents thermal decomposition and is ideal for heat-sensitive compounds.
Cuvettes are small transparent containers used in spectrophotometry to hold liquid samples for absorbance or transmittance measurements. Made of glass, plastic, or quartz, they allow light to pass through the sample. Quartz cuvettes are preferred for UV light analysis. They are essential for accurate optical readings and must be handled carefully to avoid contamination or scratches.
Porcelain crucible is a small, heat-resistant container made from ceramic material, used in laboratories for heating substances to very high temperatures. It is commonly used in ash content analysis, metal melting, and chemical reactions that require intense heat. Crucibles can withstand open flames and are often used with a lid and a clay triangle during heating.
A desiccator is a sealed container used in laboratories to keep moisture-sensitive items dry. It contains a desiccant, such as silica gel, which absorbs humidity. Desiccators are commonly used to store samples, dry chemicals, or protect equipment from moisture, ensuring accurate experimental results and preserving sample integrity.
Polypropylene reagent bottles are durable, chemical-resistant containers commonly used in laboratories for storing and dispensing liquid or powdered chemicals. Made from high-quality polypropylene plastic, these bottles offer excellent resistance to a wide range of acids, bases, and solvents, making them ideal for both general-purpose and specialized chemical storage.
Centrifuge tube is a cylindrical, conical-bottomed container used in laboratories to hold samples during centrifugation. Made of plastic or glass, it is designed to withstand high-speed spinning that separates components based on density. Centrifuge tubes come in various sizes (e.g., 1.5 mL, 15 mL, 50 mL) and often have screw caps or snap lids to prevent leakage during use.
Pipette tips are disposable, narrow plastic attachments used with micropipettes to accurately transfer small volumes of liquid in laboratories. They ensure precision, prevent cross-contamination, and are available in various sizes (e.g., 10 µL, 200 µL, 1000 µL). Sterile pipette tips are used in sensitive experiments like molecular biology, cell culture, and PCR.
Cell culture plate is a flat, sterile plastic or glass plate used in laboratories to grow and study cells under controlled conditions. It contains multiple wells (like 6, 12, 24, 96, or 384) where cells are cultured in nutrient media. These plates are essential in biological research, drug testing, and tissue engineering for observing cell behavior and responses.
