PETRI DISHES
Petri dishes are shallow, circular, flat-lidded dishes typically made of glass or plastic, used in laboratories for culturing microorganisms like bacteria and fungi. Filled with a nutrient medium (e.g., agar), they provide a controlled environment for microbial growth. Petri dishes are essential tools in microbiology, cell culture, and research involving observation of microbial colonies and growth patterns.

pH BUFFER SOLUTION
A pH buffer solution resists changes in pH when small amounts of acid or base are added. It contains a weak acid and its conjugate base (or vice versa). Common buffer solutions include pH 4.00, 7.00, and 10.00, used to calibrate pH meters in laboratories and industry.

PHOTOMETER
A photometer is an instrument used to measure the intensity of light. In laboratories, it’s commonly used to determine the concentration of substances by measuring light absorption at specific wavelengths. Photometers are widely used in chemical analysis, environmental testing, and water quality monitoring for their accuracy and ease of use.

PIPETTE FILLER
A pipette filler is a laboratory tool used to safely and accurately draw liquids into glass or plastic pipettes without using mouth suction. It provides better control and prevents contamination or exposure to hazardous substances.
-
PIPETTE TIPS
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.

PORCELAIN CRUCIBLE WITH LID
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.
-
PORTABLE SUCTION UNIT
A portable suction unit is a medical device used to remove fluids such as mucus, blood, or vomit from a patient’s airway or surgical site. Compact and battery-operated, it is commonly used in ambulances, emergency situations, and home care to ensure clear breathing and prevent aspiration.
-
POTENTIOMETRIC TITRATOR
A potentiometric titrator is an analytical instrument used to determine the concentration of a substance in solution by measuring the voltage change during a titration. It uses electrodes to detect the endpoint precisely without relying on color changes, making it ideal for colored or turbid samples in chemical and pharmaceutical analysis.

PROPAN-2-OL/ISOPROPANOL
Propan-2-ol, also known as isopropanol or isopropyl alcohol, is a colorless, flammable liquid with the chemical formula C₃H₈O. It is commonly used as a disinfectant, solvent, and cleaning agent. It evaporates quickly and leaves no residue. Widely used in medical, cosmetic, and industrial applications, it is toxic if ingested and should be used with proper ventilation.
-
PYCNOMETER
A pycnometer is a laboratory device used to determine the density or specific gravity of liquids and fine solids. It is usually a small glass flask with a close-fitting stopper that has a capillary hole to allow air to escape. Pycnometers provide highly accurate measurements and are commonly used in chemistry and material science.
-
RACK
Racks are laboratory tools used to hold, organize, and store test tubes safely and upright. They are made of plastic, wood, or metal and come in various sizes to fit different tube diameters. These racks help prevent spillage, breakage, and contamination during experiments, making them essential for safe and efficient laboratory work.
-
REAGENT BOTTLE
Reagent bottles, also known as chemical bottles or laboratory bottles, are specialized containers used to store chemicals, reagents, and other laboratory substances. They are designed to ensure safe handling, accurate identification, and proper storage of a wide variety of chemical compounds.
-
REFRACTOMETER
A refractometer is an instrument used to measure the refractive index of a substance, typically to determine concentration levels, such as sugar in liquids (Brix scale). Commonly used in food, beverage, and chemical industries, it provides quick and accurate results. It works by analyzing how light bends through the sample.
-
ROTARY EVAPORATOR
A rotary evaporator (or rotavap) is a laboratory device used to remove solvents from samples through evaporation under reduced pressure. It works by rotating a flask containing the solution, while gently heating it and applying a vacuum, allowing the solvent to evaporate at a lower temperature. It is widely used in chemistry, pharmaceuticals, and food research for concentration, purification, and solvent recovery.
-
SAFETY CABINET
A Safety Cabinet is a specially designed storage unit used to protect people, the environment, and materials from hazardous substances. It is commonly used in laboratories and industrial settings to store flammable chemicals, toxic materials, or biological agents safely. These cabinets are built with features like ventilation systems, fire resistance, and spill containment to minimize risks.
