Swab is a small stick with a soft tip made of cotton or synthetic material, used to collect samples from surfaces, skin, or body parts. It is commonly used in medical testing, microbiology, and cleaning. Sterile swabs are essential for procedures like throat cultures, wound sampling, or DNA collection to avoid contamination.

THERMAL GRAVIMETRIC INSTRUMENT(TGA)
A Thermal Gravimetric Instrument (TGA) measures changes in a material’s weight as it is heated, cooled, or held at a constant temperature. It helps determine thermal stability, composition, and decomposition temperatures. TGA is widely used in material science, polymers, and pharmaceuticals for quality control and research applications.

THERMO MIX
A Thermo Mix (or Thermomixer) is a laboratory instrument that heats, cools, and mixes samples simultaneously. It is commonly used in molecular biology, biochemistry, and clinical labs for applications like enzyme reactions, DNA/RNA extraction, and sample incubation. The device offers precise temperature control and variable shaking speeds, making it efficient for uniform mixing and consistent results.

ULTRASNAP
UltraSnap is a user-friendly, all-in-one ATP sampling test used with Hygiena luminometers. This pen-sized sample collection device is easy to use, small, and environmentally friendly. In addition, UltraSnap uses a unique liquid-stable reagent providing superior accuracy, longer-lasting signal strength, and more reproducible results.

ULTRASONIC CLEANER
An ultrasonic cleaner is a device that uses high-frequency sound waves (usually 20–40 kHz) in a liquid solution to clean objects thoroughly and efficiently. It removes dirt, grease, contaminants, and residues from items without damaging delicate surfaces.

UV-CABINET:
A UV Cabinet is a laboratory device used to sterilize and decontaminate equipment, tools, and sometimes biological samples using ultraviolet (UV) light, specifically UV-C radiation. UV-C light (wavelength around 254 nm) is germicidal—it destroys or inactivates microorganisms by damaging their DNA or RNA. These cabinets are commonly used in microbiology, molecular biology, and PCR work to prevent contamination. UV cabinets should only be used when closed and with proper shielding, as direct UV-C exposure is harmful to skin and eyes.

UV-VIS SPECTROPHOTOMETER
A UV-Vis Spectrophotometer is an analytical instrument used to measure the absorbance or transmittance of a sample in the ultraviolet (UV) and visible (Vis) light spectrum (typically 190–800 nm). It is widely used to determine the concentration of substances in solution based on Beer-Lambert’s Law.

VACUUM DISTILLATION GLASS SET
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.
-
VACUUM PUMP WITH FILTERATION
A vacuum pump with filtration is a system used primarily in laboratories to remove air and create a vacuum for filtration processes. It helps in speeding up filtration by reducing pressure, allowing liquid to pass quickly through a filter paper.
-
VACUUM-CONTROLLED ASPIRATION SYSTEM
A vacuum-controlled aspiration system is a laboratory device used for the safe and efficient removal of liquid waste, such as supernatants or culture media, from tubes, flasks, or plates using controlled vacuum suction.

WATER DISTILLER
A water distiller is a device used to purify water by boiling it into steam and then condensing the steam back into liquid. This process removes impurities such as salts, heavy metals, microorganisms, and most chemicals. Distilled water is often used in laboratories, medical settings, and for appliances like steam irons where mineral-free water is required. Although effective, distillation is slower and more energy-intensive compared to other filtration methods.
