  • Scientific Instruments

    Sl. No.
    Name of the Instrument
    Small Description about the instrument

    1

    Cobb Tester

    Used to determine the water absorption capacity of paper, paperboard, and other packaging materials over a specified period.

    2

    Bursting Test Tester

    Used to measure the bursting strength of paper, paperboard, and packaging materials

    3

    Funke Gerber

    Used for the determination of fat content in milk and dairy products by the Gerber method

    4

    Tear Strength Tester

    Used to measure the force required to propagate a tear in paper, films, and other packaging materials.

    5

    Rotary film vacuum Evaporator

    Used to concentrate liquid samples by evaporating solvents under reduced pressure, generally at relatively low temperatures.

    6

    Tray Drier

    Used for drying food materials and other samples by circulating heated air over materials placed on trays.

    7

    Ultrasonic Homogenizer

    Used to homogenize, disperse, emulsify, and reduce the particle size of samples using high-frequency ultrasonic energy.

    8

    Remi Centrifuge

    Used to separate components of a sample based on differences in density by applying centrifugal force.

    9

    Hot Air Oven

    Used for drying samples, determining moisture content, and dry-heat sterilization of suitable laboratory glassware and materials.

    10

    Incubator

    Used to maintain a controlled temperature for the growth and incubation of microorganisms or for other temperature-dependent laboratory studies.

    11

    Muffle Furnace

    Used for high-temperature heating, ashing, and determination of ash content in food and other materials.

    12

    Autoclave

    Used for sterilization of suitable culture media, laboratory materials, and equipment using saturated steam under pressure.

    13

    Microwave Oven

    Used for rapid heating and preparation of samples through microwave energy; it may also be used for specific food-processing or laboratory applications.

    14

    Hot Water Bath

    Used to heat samples uniformly at a controlled temperature by immersing sample containers in hot water.

    15

    Digital Colony Counter

    Used to count microbial colonies on agar plates and facilitate the estimation of viable microbial counts.

    16

    Milk Analyzer

    Used for rapid analysis of milk composition, typically including fat, protein, lactose, solids-not-fat (SNF), and density, depending on the model.

    17

    Weighing Balance (4 digit) Sartorius

    Used for accurate measurement of sample mass, generally with readability up to 0.0001 g, depending on the model.

    18

    Hot Plate (12" x 12") with thermostat control

    Used for heating laboratory samples, solutions, and reagents on a flat surface, with temperature regulation through a thermostat.

    19

    Cake oven

    Used for baking cakes and other bakery products under controlled heating conditions; it may also be used for food-processing trials.

    20

    OTG

    Used for baking, toasting, and grilling food products for laboratory trials, product development, and small-scale food preparation.

    21

    BOD Incubator

    Used to maintain controlled low temperatures for biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) testing and for incubation of samples or microorganisms under specified conditions.
