Laboratory equipment plays a pivotal role in the diagnosis and study of diseases. Key laboratory tools include:
1. Microscopes: Used for examining samples at a cellular level, crucial for identifying pathogens. 2. PCR Machines: Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) machines amplify DNA, making it easier to detect genetic material from pathogens. 3. Centrifuges: Used to separate components of a sample based on density, which is vital for many diagnostic tests. 4. Refrigerators and Freezers: Essential for storing samples and reagents at appropriate temperatures to ensure their integrity.
