Autoclave

Uses: a pressure chamber used to

sterilize equipment and supplies by
subjecting them to high pressure
saturated steam at 121 C (249F) for
around 1520 minutes depending on
the size of the load and the contents.

Centrifuge

Uses: is a piece of laboratory

equipment, driven by a motor, which
spins liquid samples at high speed.
Like all other centrifuges, laboratory
centrifuges work by the sedimentation
principle, where the centripetal
acceleration is used to separate

Bacterial Incubator
Uses: a device used to grow and
maintain microbiological
cultures or cell cultures. The incubator
maintains optimal temperature,
humidity and other conditions such as
the carbon dioxide (CO2)
and oxygen content of the atmosphere

substances of greater and lesser

density.

Refrigerator

Uses: To store and preserve microbial

specimens.

Triple Beam Balance

inside.

Hot air oven

Uses: electrical devices which
use dry heat to sterilize. They were
originally developed by Pasteur.

Uses: used to measure masses very

precisely; the reading error is 0.05
gram.

Water Bath
Uses: a container/equipment with
water heated to a given temperature,
used for heating substances placed in
smaller containers.

colonies{9} of microorganisms on a
plate containing a gelled growth
medium.

Bacti-cinerator

Uses: safely sterilizes loops and

needles by infrared heat.

Inoculating loops and needles

Uses: also called a smear

loop, inoculation
wand or microstreaker, is a simple tool
used mainly by microbiologiststo

Inoculation Hood

Uses: is used to create bacteria,

fungae free atmosphere in the
chamber with Ultra violet germicidal
light and it is used in bio logical
culture studies.

retrieve an inoculum from a culture of

microorganisms.

Colony Counter

Uses: an instrument designed to

conveniently count or assist counting

Alcohol Lamp
Uses: to produce a smokeless and residuefree flame. the flame is cooler than that of a
Bunsen burner.

Test tube rack

Uses: in place when they are not
being actively used. It also allow for
easy organization during experiments.

Uses: The tapered sides and narrow

neck of this flask allow the contents of
the flask to be mixed by swirling,
without risk of spillage, making them
suitable for titrations.

Test Tubes

Uses: widely used by chemists to

hold, mix, or heat small quantities of
solid or liquid chemicals, especially for
qualitative experiments and assays.

Petri dish
Uses: is a shallow cylindrical glass or
plastic lidded dish that biologists use
to culture cells such as bacteria or
small mosses.

Fermentation Tube

Erlenmeyer flask

Uses: a modified culture tube with an

upright closed arm for collecting gas
formed in broth cultures by

microorganisms.

Durham Tube
Uses: are used in microbiology to
detect production of gas by
microorganisms. They are simply
smaller test tubes inserted upside
down in another test tube.

Cover Slips

Uses: placed over objects for viewing

with a microscope.

Glass Slides
Uses: used to hold objects for
examination under a microscope.
