Equipment guide
Laboratory equipment guides
Plain-language buying guides for the laboratory equipment we supply, with the questions to settle before you specify, and the products we can deliver, install and support in Jordan and MENA.
Laboratory centrifuges
A laboratory centrifuge separates samples by spinning them at a set speed, and the number that matters is relative centrifugal force (RCF, in x g), not RPM. Choose it by the largest tube you will spin, the RCF your protocol needs, and whether samples must stay cooled.
Read the guideFreeze dryers
A freeze dryer removes water from a frozen product under vacuum by sublimation, preserving structure and activity without heat damage. Size it by the ice load per batch (kg of water), the condenser temperature your product needs, and whether you dry on shelves or on a manifold.
Read the guideGC and GC-MS systems
Gas chromatography separates volatile compounds in a heated column, and a detector identifies or measures them. Choose the detector by the question (FID for hydrocarbons, ECD for halogens, mass spectrometry for identification), then plan carrier-gas supply and service early.
Read the guideHPLC systems
HPLC separates compounds dissolved in a liquid by pumping them through a packed column, then detects them as they elute. Match the pump pressure, detector and column format to your method, and decide early between analytical, preparative and ion-chromatography configurations.
Read the guideLaboratory freezers and refrigerators
Laboratory cold storage is chosen by temperature class (2–8 °C refrigerators, −20 to −40 °C freezers, −86 °C ultra-low), usable volume and the monitoring you need to protect stored samples. In hot climates, confirm the unit is rated for your ambient temperature.
Read the guideClimate chambers and incubators
A climate chamber holds temperature and humidity constant to test how a product ages or an organism grows. For pharmaceutical stability testing, choose a chamber that reliably holds the ICH conditions you must report, such as 25 °C/60 % RH, 30 °C/65 % RH and 40 °C/75 % RH.
Read the guideLaboratory balances
Choose a laboratory balance by readability (the smallest weight it displays) and capacity (the heaviest load). Analytical balances read to 0.1 mg or finer for quantitative work; precision balances read to 1 mg to 0.1 g for general weighing. Match both to your tolerances.
Read the guidePipettes and liquid handling
Pipette accuracy depends on choosing the right volume range, using the correct tips and keeping the pipette calibrated to ISO 8655. Select the pipette whose nominal volume is closest to (and above) the volume you dispense most often, and calibrate on a fixed schedule.
Read the guideAutoclaves and sterilizers
A steam autoclave sterilises by saturated steam under pressure, typically 121 °C or 134 °C. Choose chamber volume by the largest load, then match the cycle type (solids, liquids, waste, drying) and control level to your quality requirements.
Read the guideLaboratory gas generators
A laboratory gas generator produces hydrogen, nitrogen or zero air on demand from electricity and air or water, replacing cylinder deliveries. Size it from the total flow of the instruments it feeds, add margin, and confirm the purity your detector requires.
Read the guideRecirculating chillers
A recirculating chiller pumps temperature-controlled liquid through an instrument to remove or add heat. Choose it by cooling capacity at your working temperature (not the headline figure), temperature stability, pump flow and pressure, and compatibility with the liquid and the instrument.
Read the guideParticle size analyzers
Particle size analysers measure the size distribution (and sometimes shape) of powders, suspensions and sprays. Laser diffraction covers roughly sub-micron to millimetre sizes quickly; image analysis adds shape. Choose by size range, whether the sample is dry or wet, and the standards you follow.
Read the guideSpectroscopy and analytical instruments
Spectroscopy identifies or quantifies materials by how they absorb, emit or scatter light. For metals, atomic absorption (AAS) is the economical choice, ICP-OES handles many elements at once, and ICP-MS reaches ultra-trace levels. UV-Vis, NMR, Raman and FT-NIR cover organic and material analysis.
Read the guideBreath alcohol testers
Breath alcohol testers estimate blood alcohol concentration from a breath sample. Screening devices give fast on-the-spot readings; evidential testers meet stricter accuracy and procedure requirements for legal use. Choose by purpose, sensor type, calibration schedule and local regulatory approval.
