Precision laboratory balances, also called top loading balances, are a form of scale designed to offer highly accurate results, within the sub-milligram range. Used for the measurement of small samples, precision balances provide an accurate, quick, and simple way of determining the weight of items such as particulate matter. Electronic precision balances offer a wide range of weighing capacities, with maximum capacities up to 64 kg. They allow readability in the range of 1 mg (0.001 g) to 1 g, or 0-3 decimal places. High precision laboratory balances can extend this accuracy to 4 decimal places, on the display of the precision balance, 0.0001g (0.1mg) increments are used.

Precision balances produce steady readings in a wider range of environmental conditions than analytical balances which must always be used under strict conditions to ensure accurate readings. Being less sensitive to temperature fluctuations and air currents, precision balances can serve as the more convenient method of measurement. While a draft shield is not always necessary for the accurate use of a precision balance, when working in a fume hood or under normal conditions with a high-resolution precision balance of 1 mg readability, one should be employed to maintain performance.

A biosafety cabinet also called a biological safety cabinet or microbiological safety cabinet is an enclosed, ventilated laboratory workspace for safely working with materials contaminated with (or potentially contaminated with) pathogens requiring a defined biosafety level.

The primary purpose of a BSC is to serve as a means to protect the laboratory worker and the surrounding environment from pathogens. All exhaust air is HEPA-filtered as it exits the biosafety cabinet, removing harmful bacteria and viruses. This is in contrast to a laminar flow clean bench, which blows unfiltered exhaust air towards the user and is not safe for work with pathogenic agents. Neither are most BSCs safe for use as fume hoods. Likewise, a fume hood fails to provide the environmental protection that HEPA filtration in a BSC would provide. However, most classes of BSCs have a secondary purpose to maintain the sterility of materials inside (the "product").

Class Icabinets provide personnel and environmental protection but no product protection. In fact, the inward flow of air can contribute to contamination of samples. Inward airflow is maintained at a minimum velocity of 75 ft/min(0.38 m/s). These BSCs are commonly used to enclose specific equipment (e.g. centrifuges) or procedures (e.g. aerating cultures) that potentially generate aerosols. BSCs of this class are either ducted (connected to the building exhaust system) or unducted (recirculating filtered exhaust back into the laboratory.

Class II cabinets provide both kinds of protection (of the samples and of the environment) since makeup air is also HEPA-filtered. There are five types: Type A1 (formerly A), Type A2 (formerly A/B3), Type B1, Type B2 and Type C1. Each type's requirements are defined by NSF International Standard 49, which in 2002 reclassified A/B3 cabinets (classified under the latter type if connected to an exhaust duct) as Type A2, and added the Type C1 in the 2016 standard. About 90% of all biosafety cabinets installed are Type A2 cabinets.

Microcentrifuges are designed for use with small sample sizes such as microtubes. Compact-footprint centrifuges are ideal for microfilter cell separations and HPLC samples. Units are electronic or handheld, and may have digital interfaces and refrigeration capabilities

The laboratory furnace is a key component in both research and industrial processes. While furnaces can come in varying designs, they all share the common task of providing high temperature heating with conformity and consistency. It is with this in mind that only the highest of quality components were selected for the Across International furnace line. Popular applications can be as wide ranging as dental molding, combustion testing, ash testing, annealing and sintering, all the way to nanotechnology and advanced materials production.

Incubators are essential laboratory tools and can be found in almost every microbiology lab. The laboratory incubator is an insulated chamber, that heats up, and is used to grow and maintain microbiological or cell cultures. The incubator maintains optimal temperature, humidity and gaseous content of the atmosphere inside.

Medical Grade Lab Freezers for Vaccine Storage are designed to meet the recommended CDC temperature requirements for safe storage of vaccines & medications.

Smart Evaporator with its unique spiral plug design makes it possible to evaporate solvents bump free utilizing revolutionary vacuum assisted vortex technology.

Labs are better waterless- No more contamination, ruined experiments, lost materials, or hassles. Save time and money, reduce contamination problems, stay clean, organized, and reduce your environmental footprint. Thermal beads and baths are eco-friendly, low maintenance, laboratory tools that help replace water/ice/oil/sand as a heating or cooling media in the laboratory. Thermal beads can be utilized at temperatures ranging from -80C to 180C
