Laboratory Equipment for Research
There are several laboratories for various programmes offered at SH. Each laboratory is well-equipped to serve the requirements of the respective programmes.
Aquaculture
Hot Air Oven Hot air ovens use extremely high temperatures over several hours to destroy microorganisms and bacterial spores. The ovens use conduction to sterilize items by heating the outside surfaces of the item, which then absorbs the heat and moves it towards the center of the item. Incubator A laboratory incubator is a crucial equipment in any laboratory. They provide a controlled, contaminant-free environment for safe, reliable work with cell and tissue cultures by regulating conditions such as temperature, humidity, and CO2.
Botany
Leica DM 2000 With their sophisticated modular design and high-performance fluorescence, the Leica DM2000 microscopes are ideal for complex tasks in pathology, cytology, and many other applications. For special diagnostics requirements, the microscope is certified for in-vitro-diagnostics (IVD) like in-vitro-fertilization (IVF).
Chemistry
Autoclave Autoclaves are used before surgical procedures to perform sterilization and in the chemical industry to cure coatings and vulcanize rubber and for hydrothermal synthesis. Biosafety Cabinet The primary purpose of a BSC is to serve as a means to protect the laboratory worker and the surrounding environment from pathogens Centrifuge Centrifuges are used in various laboratories to separate fluids, gases, or liquids based on density. In research and clinical laboratories, centrifuges are often used for cell, organelle, virus, protein, and nucleic acid purification. Chemical Fume Hood The purpose of a chemical fume hood is to prevent the release of hazardous substances into the general laboratory space by controlling and then exhausting hazardous and/or odorous chemicals Computational Lab Computational models are important parts of scientific research. Conductometer Conductometry is used to analyze ionic species and to monitor a chemical reaction by studying the electrolytic conductivity of the reacting species or the resultant products Distillation Unit Distillation is a common operation in many laboratories for the purpose of separating and/or purifying components of a liquid mixture. Flash Column Chromatograph Flash column chromatography is a method of chemical separation that is used to purify chemical mixtures. Heating Mantle A heating mantle is a piece of equipment used in chemistry & biology laboratories for heating and stirring operations. Hot Air Oven A hot air oven is electrical operated equipment, used to dry heat sterilize samples at temperature between 50°C to 300°C. Incinerator An incinerator is generally defined as any furnace used in the process of burning solid waste for the purpose of reducing the volume of the waste by removing combustible matter. Melting Point Apparatus A melting-point apparatus is a scientific instrument used to determine the melting point of a substance. Microscopes The microscope is one of the most important tools used in chemistry and biology. This instrument allows a scientist or doctor to magnify an object to look at it in detail. Muffle Furnace A muffle furnace is a type of laboratory furnace. Muffle furnaces isolate the samples from the fuel and the combustion to eliminate contamination of the samples. Oven Laboratory ovens, also referred to as laboratory furnaces, are used to sterilize biohazard waste, dissecting instruments or media/reagents for aseptic assays. Polarimeter A polarimeter is a device that measures the rotation of linearly polarized light by an optically active sample. Potentiometers A potentiometer is a type of position sensor. They are used to measure displacement in any direction. Refractometer A refractometer is a piece of laboratory apparatus used for measuring the refractive index of gases, liquids, and translucent solids. Rotovapor A rotary evaporator (rotovap) is a device used in chemical laboratories for the efficient and gentle removal of solvents from samples by evaporation. Shaker A shaker is a piece of laboratory equipment used to mix, blend, or agitate substances in a tube or flask by shaking them. UV Spectrometer UV-Vis spectroscopy is used to quantify the amount of DNA or protein in a sample, for water analysis, and as a detector for many types of chromatography. Vacuum Oven A vacuum drying oven is most often used for delicate drying processes, such as drying tiny parts or removing flammable solvents. Waterbath A water bath is a laboratory equipment that is used to incubate samples at a constant temperature over a long period of time.
Physics
Four probe with SMU Four probe apparatus is one of the standard and most widely used apparatus for the measurement of resistivity of semiconductors. GPS Antenna A GPS antenna is a device used for receiving and expanding radio signals sent by distinct frequencies coming from GPS satellites. GPS Reciever A GPS Receiver is a L-band radio processor capable of solving the navigation equations in order to determine the user position, velocity and precise time (PVT), by processing the signal broadcasted by GPS satellites. High Temperature Furnace It is another type of laboratory furnace that unlike typical furnaces is capable of reaching higher temperatures between 1400°C up to 1800°C. Hot Air Oven Hot air ovens are laboratory and scientific equipment which uses dry heat (hot air mixture) for sterilization of laboratory equipment. Mercury Spectrum The wavelengths of the prominent lines in mercury are purple (405 nm), blue (436 nm), blue- green (492 nm), greenish yellow (546 nm), yellow (577 nm), orange (623 nm), and red (691 nm). Michelson Interferometer, Pockel Cell Apparatus, Zeeman Effect Apparatus, Faraday Effect Apparatus Oven Laboratory ovens are general lab equipment used for high-volume thermal convection applications. This device is used for drying, material testing, curing, and heated storage. Skywatcher 10 inch Dobsonian telescope, with automatic tracking.
It is ideal for observing dim star clusters, nebulae, and galaxies (deep sky objects), an activity that requires large objectives and travel to dark sky locations. Vacuum Coating Unit Vacuum coating, also known as thin-film deposition, is a vacuum chamber process whereby a very thin and steady layer of coating is applied to the surface of a substrate, protecting it from forces that might wear it down or decrease its efficiency. Z Scan Setup To measure the imaginary part of the nonlinear refractive index, or the nonlinear absorption coefficient, the z-scan setup is used in its open-aperture form. In open-aperture measurements, the far-field aperture is removed and the whole signal is measured by the detector.
