Laboratory equipment for in vitro studies

Description: In vitro cell studies require precise and reliable equipment for culturing, analyzing, and preserving biological samples. Essential tools include CO₂ incubators for maintaining optimal growth conditions, multimode plate readers for absorbance, fluorescence, and luminescence assays, and high-resolution microscopes for cell observation and analysis. Centrifuges and vortex mixers enable efficient sample preparation, while microbiological safety cabinets ensure contamination-free handling. Additionally, water baths support reagent preparation and cell thawing, creating a fully equipped environment for advanced in vitro research.
