Sample preparation and processing are essential steps that ensure the quality and reliability of experimental results. Key instruments in this category include sonicators, which use ultrasonic energy to disrupt cells or mix solutions; homogenizers for breaking down tissue and cell samples; shakers and vortex mixers to ensure thorough mixing of reagents or samples; incubators that provide controlled temperature and atmospheric conditions for cell culture and biological reactions; heating plates to maintain precise temperatures for reactions or sample preparation; microwaves used in some digestion and extraction protocols; freeze dryers to preserve biological samples by removing moisture under vacuum; and evaporators to concentrate samples by removing solvents. Together, these tools streamline workflows and improve experimental reproducibility.
