Freeze dryer: Freeze dryer is a drying method for temperature-sensitive samples. In fact, in a freeze dryer, the water or solvent in the sample is sublimated and removed from it by reducing the pressure after freezing. Freeze dryer is also a sample preparation method that is usually used to preserve a material that may spoil or is difficult to transport.
Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) :
For the replication of a single copy or a small number of copies of a DNA fragment with a specific sequence, in the millions. The basis of the PCR technique is thermal cycling. Each cycle includes a hot stage to separate the two DNA strands (melting) and colder stages for enzymatic DNA replication. In other words, it is a technique by which a large number of DNA strands can be obtained from a single DNA template strand, provided that the two ends of the DNA strand that we intend to amplify are completely known.
Autoclave: A device that can adjust the chamber temperature to temperatures above ambient temperature up to 65 degrees Celsius and also adjust the chamber temperature below ambient temperature down to -5. This device is used for microbiology users.
Spectrophotometer: A device that determines the concentration of a substance in a sample by measuring the amount of light absorbed and transmitted by an analyte. It is used to measure the intensity of light at different wavelengths, thus indicating the amount of light received or absorbed.
Gel Dock: A device used to observe bands formed on electrophoresis slides using UV light. Gel Dock is a light-proof chamber in which electrophoresed samples stained with fluorescent materials are placed and examined by UV light.
Spectrophotometry: A device that determines the concentration of substances in a sample based on the amount of light absorbed and transmitted by an analyte. It is used to measure the intensity of light at different wavelengths, thus indicating the amount of radiant light received or absorbed.
