Lab Supplies & Consumables: Tubes, Tips, Glassware, Microplates, Labels & PPE
**Lab Supplies & Consumables*" A working lab’s backbone. Whether it’s sample collection, dividing fractions for assays, and working with materials, an appropriate set of consumables goes a long way toward maintaining a smooth operation. This set considers rapid replenishments for common requests within labs: tubes and vials, liquid handling tools, tips, microplates, dishes, glassware, and lab safety PPE.
Speed and accuracy in many lab environments rely on having the necessary materials on hand in the correct form. Sample tubes and vials include sample collection, storage, and processing within various biology and lab investigations. Choosing the appropriate tube size, cap type, and material allows for optimal sample preservation and efficient centrifugation and mixing procedures.
To enable precise dispensing and consistent results, liquid handling and pipetting materials reside at the center of almost all lab procedures. Pipettes with appropriate tips and reagent reservoirs can transfer materials with accuracy and reduce contamination risk. Microplates and PCR plates feature standard processing steps for ELISA, screening, quantitation, and amplification within high-throughput labs. Plate seals and covers protect samples and are useful for consistency within batches.
Culture workflows start with requiring reliable petri dishes and culture plates, and general lab work requires sturdy plasticware and glassware, including beakers, flasks, cylinders, and bottles for mixing, measurement, and storage. And then there are blood collection materials necessary if your product relates to medical procedures.
But sample tracking and organization are equally important. Laboratory labeling and marking tools visualize samples and manage inventory. It enhances safety and Personal Protective Equipment like gloves, masks, and so on. Storage and organization tools optimize lab operations and reduce clutter.
