A Laboratory Drying Rack is an essential piece of lab equipment used for drying glassware and other lab utensils after washing. It helps prevent contamination, water spots, and damage that can occur when drying items on ordinary surfaces.

Key Features:

• Serum-based testing for improved accuracy

• Fast results — easy to interpret within minutes

• High sensitivity and specificity for early detection

• Simple procedure suitable for clinics, laboratories, and healthcare facilities

• Single-use, hygienic, and individually packaged

EKF Diagnostics Hemo Control Hemoglobin Microcuvettes

Features:

• Pre-filled, single-use microcuvettes for hygiene and convenience

• Compatible with Hemo Control devices for fast hemoglobin testing

• Ensures accurate, reproducible results with minimal error

• Easy to handle and dispose after use

✅ Key Features & Specifications

Measured parameters / Principle:

• Measures ions: Na⁺, K⁺, Cl⁻, iCa⁺⁺ (and sometimes Li⁺ or pH) using Ion-Selective Electrode (ISE) technology.

• Sample types: whole blood, serum, plasma, urine (and occasionally CSF).

Performance & workflow:

• Sample volume: approximately 90–100 µL.

• Analysis time: less than 60 seconds per sample.

• Throughput: up to 60 samples per hour.

• Calibration: automatic two-point calibration every 4, 8, or 12 hours (user-selectable) and optional one-point calibration per sample.

• Built-in quality control: includes tri-level QC, 30-day QC history, and Levey–Jennings (L-J) plots for QC trend monitoring.

Display & Interface:

• 5-inch colour LCD touchscreen (approx. 480 × 272 resolution).

• Built-in thermal printer (48 mm paper width, 42 characters).

• Interfaces: USB ports (for keyboard, mouse, barcode reader, or flash drive) and RS-232 serial port.

Physical & Environmental:

• Dimensions: around 365 × 255 × 375 mm (some variants 395 × 260 × 375 mm).

• Weight: roughly 5 – 7.5 kg depending on model.

• Operating conditions: 15 – 35 °C ambient temperature, ≤ 85 % relative humidity (non-condensing).

• Power: 100 – 240 VAC ± 10 %, 50/60 Hz.

Performance precision (typical):

• Coefficient of variation (CV %) — Na⁺, K⁺, Cl⁻ ≤ 2 %; iCa⁺⁺ ≤ 3 %.

Purpose Electrophoresis is mainly used to: Analyze DNA or RNA fragments Study proteins and enzymes Compare genetic samples Check the purity or size of biomolecules Principle of Operation The machine works on the principle that charged particles move in an electric field: Negatively charged molecules (like DNA) move toward the positive electrode (anode) Smaller molecules move faster through a gel than larger ones The gel acts as a molecular sieve Main Components Power Supply Provides controlled voltage and current Determines the speed of molecule movement Electrophoresis Chamber (Tank) Holds the gel and buffer solution Contains electrodes at each end Gel Medium Commonly agarose (for DNA/RNA) or polyacrylamide (for proteins) Has small pores that separate molecules by size Buffer Solution Conducts electricity Maintains stable pH and temperature Sample Wells Small holes in the gel where samples are loaded Electrodes Create the electric field that drives molecule movement Working Process The gel is prepared and placed in the chamber Samples are loaded into wells Buffer is added to cover the gel Power is switched on Molecules migrate through the gel Separated bands are visualized using stains or dyes
