Other Basic Equipment

Introduction to Other Basic Equipment

Other basic equipment is a group of auxiliary and specialized equipment used for sample preparation, specimen preservation, and labware cleaning in analytical, biological, and microbiological laboratories. This category includes various instruments such as muffle furnaces, refrigerators, ultra-low temperature freezers, vacuum pumps, and glassware washers, meeting routine operational needs in research and testing facilities.

When selecting equipment, users must consider the operating temperature range for muffle furnaces (such as maximum temperatures of 1100°C, 1150°C, or 1200°C), chamber volume, and lift-door or flap-door designs. For sample storage equipment, capacity specifications and sub-zero temperature levels must be calculated according to the preservation requirements of biologics and vaccines. Additionally, choosing a vacuum pump requires assessing chemical resistance or PTFE-coated properties when combined with rotary evaporation or sample filtration systems. Hoa Viet currently distributes equipment lines from manufacturers including Nabertherm (Germany), Yamato (Japan), Haier (China), Rocker (Taiwan), and AT-OS (Italy).

How do lift door and flap door laboratory muffle furnaces differ?

Lift door muffle furnaces, such as the Nabertherm LT series, keep the hot insulated surface facing away from the operator when opening the door, enhancing thermal safety. In contrast, flap door furnaces allow users to use the horizontally opened door as a temporary support surface for sample loading trays.

When should chemical-resistant or PTFE-coated vacuum pumps be selected?

Chemical-resistant or PTFE-coated vacuum pumps are specified for use when workflows generate organic solvent vapors, acids, or corrosive substances, typically during rotary evaporation and concentration. Standard oil-free pumps are only suitable for vacuum filtration of aqueous solutions or non-corrosive gases.

How does a laboratory glassware washer work?

Equipment such as the AT-OS AWD655-15A-LAB utilizes a specialized wash chamber equipped with chemical-resistant double-glazed tempered glass doors for automated labware cleaning. Following the wash cycle, the machine integrates a forced-air drying system to completely dry glassware before reuse.

Which manufacturers of basic equipment does Hoa Viet distribute?
