Laboratory Machines
| Muffle Furnace |  |
A high-temperature oven that provides precise heat. It's used for ash content determination in samples. |
|---|---|---|
| Ultra High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (UHPLC) |  |
Separates and identifies components in complex mixtures. It's essential for testing pesticides and contaminants in food. |
| Centrifuge |  |
A machine that spins at high speed to separate particles from a liquid. This is used for kava powder in acetone, for example. |
| Fourier-transform Infrared (FTIR) Machine |  |
Identifies chemical substances by studying how they absorb infrared light. |
| Refractometer |  |
Measures the concentration of dissolved substances in a liquid, used for Brix and refractive index determination. |
| UV-spectrophotometer |  |
Checks the concentration and purity of samples by measuring how they absorb light. |
