a mechanical device that uses a hand-operated pump to generate a large compressive force. Essential for sample preparation, such as creating powder pellets (e.g., KBr pellets) for spectroscopy (FTIR or XRF) or material testing.
is a laboratory instrument that integrates the functions of a traditional incubator and a laboratory shaker. It is primarily used for the growth of biological cultures, such as bacteria, yeast, and cell cultures (also known as an environmental shaker)
Evaluates thermal stability, decomposition, moisture content, ash content, and volatile matter; widely used for biochar, polymers, pharmaceuticals, and inorganic materials.
