Laboratory Equipment for Food and Beverage testing
Analytical Balance
An analytical balance is used to measure mass to a high degree of precision and accuracy. It is most often found in laboratory setting ang is used for accurate weighing. Balances should be housed in a draft-fre location and on a vibration free brench. some modern balances have built-in calibration masses to maintain accuracy.
For food analysis, pH adjustment of buffers, solvents etc. with a comprehensive range of features and functions, making it suitable for general laboratory, QC and GLP based applications.
Rotary Viscometer is required to measure the dynamic viscosity, kinematic viscosity and density of food samples such as beverages, sauces juices, syrup and milk etc.
A vertical steam sterilizer to provide safe, economical and effective sterilization for microbiology laboratories that do not want to compromise on quality, safety and reliability and need to sterilize liquids such as nutrient media and buffer solutions, Solid items such as pipettes, tubes and filters and Glassware and plastic articles.
For incubation of organisms, such as on agar plates, and also for conditioning of heat sensitive media and to provide an optimal, homogeneous, temperature uniformity and stability to ensure that protocols are fully reproducible.
For use in microbiological laboratories to measure biochemical oxygen demand (BOD). The incubators are used to sustain and control the humidity and temperature essential to perform many types of experiments in, microbiology and biology.
ESD BOD Incubator CI-D Series
Centrifuge
A Multi-functional, general purpose High speed refrigerated bench top centrifuge used for separation of supernatants (liquid portion) from pellets (solid portion).
Hot air ovens are used in the lab to determine the moisture content of food products and for drying glassware. For drying glassware and also for conditioning of heat sensitive microbiology media and to provide an optimal, homogeneous, temperature uniformity and stability to ensure drying is complete.
Hot plates are generally used to heat liquids. Hot plate with magnetic stirrer also contain a magnetic stirrer, allowing the heated liquid to be stirred
A muffle furnace generates the high-temperature up to 1600 .C and turns the sample into ash. The chemical composition can be determined easily after determining the ash content. It is the best way to determine the quality and levels of silica of the food products.
Vortex Mixer is a general-purpose laboratory equipment. It is used for mixing liquids in test tubes. It operates at various speed and can be operated continuously or by “touch” activation.
Circulating baths are constant temperature water baths that enable rapid heating and cooling of samples by constantly circulating water. Water baths are primarily used to incubate samples containing test tubes, flasks and beakers etc. An integral pump circulates the bath water within the tank to maintain uniform temperature. The sample containers can be mechanically agitated.
Shaking incubators are combination of traditional incubators and a laboratory shaker used to simultaneously incubate and shake or agitate samples. They are ideal for laboratory working on cell culture, cell aeration and solubility experiments.
