Microbiological Laboratory
Instrument
Uses
autoclave
used for sterilization of glass ware and media
auto-destruct syringes
specimen collection
Bijou bottle
a cylindrical small glass bottle with a screw cap used as a culture medium holder
Biosafety cabinet
used to work with dangerous organisms and to work sterile
Blood collection bottle
to collect blood by venipuncture
Brittany
a process of free from spore-bearing bacteria
Bunsen burner
used to work aseptic on the bench
Candle jar
historically used for anaerobiosis; a lit candle was placed in as air-tight jar such that when it went out it would be because it used up all the available oxygen
Castaneda's medium / Castaneda's bottle
used for simultaneous solid and liquid cultures in many bottles
Centrifuge
to separate supernatant & pellet
Cragie tube
see link
Desiccator
to dry things
Durham's tube
used to detect gas production in sugar fermentation media; the tube is placed in an inverted fashion so that gases produced get trapped in it and do not float away to the surface
Gas-pak
releases gases to remove oxygen from a closed container, usually for anaerobiosis
Haemagglutination plate
for viral culture detection
Hungate Anaerobic tubes
for culturing of anaerobic microbes
Incubator
used for bacterial or fungal cultures
Inoculation loop:
used to inoculate test samples into culture media for bacterial or fungal cultures, antibiograms, etc. Sterilized by passing through a blue flame.
Laminar flow cabinet
used to work aseptic
Latex agglutination tiles
for serological analysis
Lovibond comparator
a type of a colorimeter
McCartney's bottle or Flat medical bottle
for simultaneous solid and liquid cultures.
McIntosh and Filde's anaerobic jar
production of anaerobic conditions for organisms that die in the presence of even little oxygen (anaerobiosis), e.g. tetanusbacteria
Microtitre plates
for ELISA
Nichrome wire loop
used to inoculate test samples into culture media for bacterial or fungal cultures, antibiograms, etc.; sterilized by flaming to red hot before use
Petri dish/agar plate
to act as a supporting container to hold the culture medium in
Platinum wire loop
used to inoculate test samples into culture media for bacterial or fungal cultures, antibiograms, etc.; sterilized by flaming to red hot before use
Pre-sterilized disposable container
specimen collection
Pre-sterilized disposable swabs / NIH swab / postnasal swab
specimen collection
Pre-sterilized disposable syringe / auto-destruct syringes
specimen collection
Serological test slides like those for ASO, VDRL, rheumatoid factor
vide links
Sterile loops
used to inoculate test samples into culture media for bacterial or fungal cultures, antibiograms, etc.; not heated before use—these are disposable pre-sterilised
Thermal cycler
used to amplify segments of DNA via the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) process.
Tissue culture bottles
to grow or keep alive cells or tissue from a living organism, e.g. stem cells
Tuberculin syringe
as a normal syringe or to perform Mantoux test
Universal container
a cylindrical small glass bottle with a screw cap used as a culture medium holder
Vaccine bath
used to heat vaccine containing medium gently to around 45-55 degrees Celsius during vaccine production
Microscope
to observe microscopic specimens that cannot be seen by the naked eye.
Vacuum pump
to draw out the air from any closed chamber before pumping back CO2, O2 or N2, usually for anaerobiosis
VDRL rotator
for VDRL test
Specimen Dish
used to hold specimen or samples
