Do you know the devices and consumables in the lab? Let's talk more about this topic together.
How the laboratory consumables be classified?
According to the use and supervision measures, laboratory consumables can be roughly divided into seven categories: conventional consumables, cell culture consumables, molecular biology experimental consumables, microbiology experimental consumables with filtration/purification, instrument and equipment special consumables and reagent consumables.
1. Conventional consumables
Conventional consumables refer to auxiliary consumables that are widely used in various experiments. Versatility is its outstanding feature, including glassware, quartz products, plastic products and other instruments such as suction heads, straws, test tubes, sample cups, etc.
2. Consumables for cell culture
Cell culture technology, also known as cell health technology, is one of the fastest developing technologies in biotechnology in recent years. In cell culture experiments, cell culture dishes, cell culture bottles, cell culture plates, cell scrapers and other special consumables belong to cell culture consumables. The remarkable characteristics of such consumables are sterility, no DNA&RNA, no heat source, etc.
3. Consumables for molecular biology experiments
Molecular biology is a science that studies the structure and function of biological macromolecules at the molecular level so as to elucidate the nature of life phenomena. The current frontier of gene sequencing and precision medicine belong to the field of molecular biology, which is a discipline with high quality requirements for laboratory consumables. The commonly used consumables include filter suction heads, enzyme-free and heat-free suction heads, PCR plates, sealing films, etc.
4. Consumables for microbiology experiments
Microbiology is one of the subdisciplines of biology, which studies the basic rules of life activities of various small organisms at the molecular, cellular or population level, and applies them to industrial fermentation, medical and health care, bioengineering and other fields. The commonly used consumables in microbiology include petri dishes, culture tubes, sampling tubes, inoculation rings, etc. Most of the consumables in microbiology require sterility.
5. Filter and purify experimental consumables
It is mainly used as consumables for filtration and purification operations in experiments, mainly including filter paper, needle filter and so on.
6. Special consumables for instruments and equipment (special consumables for special aircraft)
It mainly refers to the special measuring cup, cuvette or sample tip on the biochemical and immunological test equipment of a specific brand and a specific model. Most of them are plastic products, and a few are quartz products. With the continuous improvement of automation technology, many medical laboratory items are increasingly completed by automated machines. Therefore, the proportion of equipment consumables will be more and more large in the future laboratory consumables.
7. Reagents and consumables
It mainly refers to laboratory consumables with Class II or Class III registration certificates. In the traditional sense, it only refers to collection and transportation devices, such as vacuum blood vessels, sampling swabs, virus sampling tubes, transportation media, etc., and does not include base culture dishes for microbial culture. At present, vacuum blood vessel is one of the most important laboratory consumables.
