 Ultrasonic cleaner
Cleaning of lab glassware such as pipettes, bakers, flasks – Simultaneous disinfection and cleaning of equipment – Degassing of samples and solvents – Extraction of soil samples for the determination of hydrocarbons
 
Stirrer (magnetic and mechanical)
To homogenise and heat multiple solutions or mixtures by setting the stirring speed, time, and temperature.

Precision balance
Weighing big masses (0.5 g – 6100 g) with good precision of 0.01 g.
 
Analytical balance
Measuring small mass (max = 250 g) with high precision in a reading range of 0.1 mg – 0.01 mg.
 
Vacuum pumps
A vacuum pump is a device that evacuates gas from a sealed volume which results in creating partial vacuum.
