Cell Mol Lab

• Analytical Balance - is a weighing instrument
• Centrifuge is an equipment used for sepation
• Spectrophometer is used to measure the light transmitted through a solution to determine the concentration of a particular substance in that solution
• thermal cycle is a heating device
• For water bath use only distilled or deionized water to prevent corrosion
• Electriphoresis system allows migration of charged solutes or particles in an electric field within the chamber
• UV Transilluminator emits UV light for visualization of fluorescent-stained biological material
• Biohazard is an infectious agent presenting a real o potential risk to the well-being of man, animals and/or plants, directly through infection or indirectly through disruption of the environment
• Biosafety - containment principles, technologies, and practices implemented to prevent unintentional/accidental exposure to biohazards
• Biosafety Level 1 - low-risk agents that are not known to cause human disease
• Biosafety Level 2 - infectious agents of moderate risk with ingestion or mucous membrane transmission
• BSL 3 - infectious aerosol transmission that may cause serious or lethal infections
• BSL 4 - infectious aerosol transmission that may cause serious or lethal infection with no treatment
• BSC 1 - inward moving biosafety cabinet
• BSC 2 - inflow air flows through the front inlet grill, near the operator
• BSC 3 - it is a type of biosafety cabinet that is usually used for BSL 4
• Piston - disk enclosed in an air-tight cylinder; its movement expels a certain volume of air. which creates a vacuum that allows an equivalent volume of liquid to be aspirated
• Plunger button - it is a part of micropipette that is being pressed down to cause the piston to move within the airtight cylinder; it also serves as volume adjustment knob
• P1000 - the micropipette volume capacity is 200-1000 microliters; in color blue
• P2- the micropipette volume capacity is 0.1-2 microliters; in color white
