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.

SHAKER
An orbital shaker is a laboratory device used to gently mix or agitate liquids in flasks, tubes, or beakers. It moves in a circular (orbital) motion, making it ideal for cell cultures, solubility studies, or general mixing. Commonly used in biology, chemistry, and pharmaceutical labs, it ensures uniform mixing without foaming.

SILVER NITRATE
Silver nitrate (AgNO₃) is a colorless, crystalline compound that is highly soluble in water. It is used in photography, medicine (as an antiseptic), and chemical analysis. It reacts with halides to form silver halides, useful in film production. Silver nitrate stains skin and surfaces dark brown or black upon exposure to light, and should be handled with care.

SMBS-ADITYA BIRLA
SMBS stands for Sodium Metabisulfite (Na₂S₂O₅), a white crystalline powder used as an antioxidant, preservative, and disinfectant. In industries, it serves in water treatment, textile bleaching, and food preservation (especially dried fruits). It releases sulfur dioxide when dissolved, which inhibits microbial growth. Though effective, it must be handled carefully due to its strong odor and potential irritant effects.

STAND & CLAMP
A stand and clamp is a basic yet essential piece of laboratory equipment used to hold and support apparatus during experiments. It provides stability and helps secure glassware or other tools in place.
-
SULPHURIC ACID
Sulphuric acid (H₂SO₄) is a strong, corrosive mineral acid that is colorless to slightly yellow. It is widely used in industries for manufacturing fertilizers, chemicals, batteries, and in petroleum refining. It is highly exothermic when mixed with water and can cause severe burns. Due to its strong acidic and dehydrating properties, it must be handled with great care.

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.
