Deionised water is water that has had most of its mineral ions removed, such as calcium, sodium, iron, and chloride, using ion-exchange resins. It is commonly used in laboratories, pharmaceuticals, electronics, and car batteries. While very pure, it is not suitable for drinking due to the absence of essential minerals. It differs from distilled water in its purification method.

CalCHECK
CalCheck is a convenient and reusable LED device used to quickly and reliably verify the calibration of a Hygiena luminometer. Simply insert CalCheck into a Hygiena luminometer and run a test in seconds. While the Hygiena luminometer runs a calibration self-check at startup, CalCheck provides validation and supports a robust quality control program. CalCheck provides an all-in-one, reusable positive and negative calibration verification device, activated simply by the click of a button.

CALIBRATION CHECK KEY
A calibration check key is a function or tool on laboratory instruments used to verify the accuracy of measurements without performing a full calibration. It ensures that the device remains within acceptable performance limits. This feature helps maintain data reliability and is commonly found in meters and titrators.

CAUSTIC SODA FLAKES-OM
Caustic soda flakes, chemically known as sodium hydroxide (NaOH), are white, odorless, and highly corrosive solids. Widely used in industries like textiles, paper, soap, detergents, and water treatment, they dissolve easily in water to form a strong alkaline solution. Caustic soda flakes are essential in pH regulation, cleaning, and chemical manufacturing, but require careful handling due to their reactivity.

CENTRIFUGE TUBE
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.

CHEMICAL STORAGE CABINET
A chemical storage cabinet is a secure, ventilated unit designed to safely store hazardous chemicals. Made of corrosion-resistant materials, it prevents spills, reactions, and unauthorized access. These cabinets are essential in laboratories and industrial settings to reduce fire risks, ensure compliance with safety regulations, and protect personnel and the environment.

CITRIC ACID- ENSIGN
ENSIGN/ADITYA BIRLA Industrial grade citric acid is a weak organic acid widely used in cleaning agents, food processing, cosmetics, and industrial applications. It acts as a preservative, pH regulator, and chelating agent. Unlike food-grade citric acid, it may contain higher permissible impurities and is not suitable for consumption. It is cost-effective and essential in non-edible chemical formulations.
-
COD DIGESTION UNIT
A COD digestion unit is a laboratory device used to measure the Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) of water or wastewater. It heats samples with a strong oxidizing agent (usually potassium dichromate in sulfuric acid) at 150°C for two hours. This process oxidizes organic matter, indicating pollution levels. It’s essential for water quality analysis in environmental monitoring.
-
COLORIMETER
A colorimeter is a device used to measure the concentration of colored compounds in a solution by detecting the amount of light absorbed. It works on Beer-Lambert’s law and is widely used in chemistry, biology, and environmental labs. Colorimeters help in water testing, food analysis, and clinical diagnostics for quick, accurate color-based measurements.

CONICAL ERLENMEYER FLASK
Conical flask, also known as an Erlenmeyer flask, is a laboratory container with a conical body, flat bottom, and a narrow neck. It is used for mixing, heating, and storing liquids. The narrow neck helps reduce spillage and allows for use with stoppers. It is ideal for titrations, as it can be easily swirled without risk of spilling.
-
CORROSION TESTER
A corrosion tester is a device or system used to evaluate the resistance of materials—especially metals and coatings—to corrosion under specific environmental conditions. These tests simulate harsh conditions such as salt spray (fog), humidity, temperature changes, or chemical exposure to predict how materials will perform over time.
-
CULTURE PLATE
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.
-
CUVETTES
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.
-
DEMINERALISED WATER
Demineralised water (DM water) is water that has had its mineral salts (like calcium, magnesium, sodium, and chlorides) removed through ion-exchange, distillation, or reverse osmosis. It is used in laboratories, pharmaceuticals, boilers, and electronics where mineral-free water is needed. While very pure, it is not suitable for drinking, as it lacks essential minerals needed by the human body.
-
DESICCATOR
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.
