LIFE SCIENCE CATEGORY
Life science research consists of all
sciences that involve the scientific
study of living organisms and their
life processes. Covering a wide
array of subjects from genetics and
microbiology to botany and
astrobiology, new breakthroughs
are happening daily all over the
world. LIFE SCIENCE
LIFE SCIENCE CATEGORY
The study of life science leads to
a better understanding of life’s
molecular building blocks,
disease processes, and allows
for the development of new
medical devices and
therapeutics, thereby increasing
human health. LIFE SCIENCE
LIFE SCIENCE CATEGORY
They also allow for new insights
into the environment, climate,
and animal and plant life,
guiding our efforts in
conservation, preservation, and
animal welfare.

What Are Some Types of
Life Science Research
Equipment?
LIFE SCIENCE
LIFE SCIENCE CATEGORY
Instruments and equipment
include spectrometers,
centrifuges, thermocyclers,
microscopes, lab hoods,
autoclaves, lab freezers, and
chromatography systems to
name a few.
LIFE SCIENCE
LIFE SCIENCE CATEGORY
Spectrometers
an essential analytical tool in
biological research and can
be used to characterize a
wide variety of biomolecules
such as sugars, proteins, and
oligonucleotides.
LIFE SCIENCE CATEGORY
Centrifuge
is a device that uses
centrifugal force to separate
various components of a
fluid. This is achieved by
spinning the fluid at high
speed.
LIFE SCIENCE CATEGORY
Thermocycler
used for DNA sequencing,
cloning, generation of probes,
quantification of DNA and RNA,
studying patterns of gene
expression.
LIFE SCIENCE CATEGORY
Microscope
an instrument that produces
enlarged images of small
objects, allowing the observer
an exceedingly close view of
minute structures at a scale
convenient for examination and
analysis.
LIFE SCIENCE CATEGORY
Lab hood
safely contain and/or remove
hazardous biological and
chemical contaminants before
they can escape into the lab or
environment.
LIFE SCIENCE CATEGORY
Autoclave
also known as steam sterilizers and
are typically used for healthcare or
industrial applications. An
autoclave is a machine that uses
steam under pressure to kill
harmful bacteria, viruses, fungi,
and spores on items that are
placed inside a pressure vessel.
LIFE SCIENCE CATEGORY
Lab freezer
are refrigerated cabinets
useful for storing biological
specimens and volatile
reagents at temperatures
ranging between -40 ºC and
10 ºC.
LIFE SCIENCE CATEGORY
Chromatography systems
is useful in determining
which antibodies fight
various diseases and
viruses.
LIFE SCIENCE CATEGORY
Life sciences supplies also
include consumables, reagents,
and chemicals such as assay
kits, media, pipette tips,
biomolecules, cell lines, and
more.

PHYSICAL SCIENCE CATEGORY
Physical science, the systematic
study of the inorganic world, as
distinct from the study of the
organic world, which is the
province of biological science.
PHYSICAL
SCIENCE
PHYSICAL SCIENCE CATEGORY
Physical science is ordinarily
thought of as consisting of four
broad areas: astronomy,
physics, chemistry, and the
Earth sciences.
PHYSICAL
SCIENCE
PHYSICAL SCIENCE CATEGORY
Physics, in its modern sense,
was founded in the mid-19th
century as a synthesis of several
older sciences—namely, those
of mechanics, optics, acoustics,
electricity, magnetism, heat,
and the physical properties of
matter. PHYSICAL
SCIENCE
PHYSICAL SCIENCE CATEGORY
The synthesis was based in
large part on the recognition
that the different forces of
nature are related and are, in
fact, interconvertible because
they are forms of energy.
PHYSICAL
SCIENCE
PHYSICAL SCIENCE CATEGORY
Physics is concerned with the
structure and behavior of
individual atoms and their
components, while chemistry
deals with the properties and
reactions of molecules.
PHYSICAL
SCIENCE
PHYSICAL SCIENCE CATEGORY
Astronomy is the science of the
entire universe beyond Earth; it
includes Earth’s gross physical
properties, such as its mass and
rotation, insofar as they interact
with other bodies in the solar
system.
PHYSICAL
SCIENCE
PHYSICAL SCIENCE CATEGORY
Astronomy science that
encompasses the study of all
extraterrestrial objects and
phenomena.
PHYSICAL
SCIENCE
PHYSICAL SCIENCE CATEGORY
Chemistry, the science that
deals with the properties,
composition, and structure of
substances, the transformations
they undergo, and the energy
that is released or absorbed
during these processes.
PHYSICAL
SCIENCE
PHYSICAL SCIENCE CATEGORY
Chemistry,
Every substance, whether
naturally occurring or artificially
produced, consists of one or
more of the hundred-odd
species of atoms that have
been identified as elements.
PHYSICAL
SCIENCE
PHYSICAL SCIENCE CATEGORY
Chemistry,
concerned with the utilization of
natural substances and the
creation of artificial ones.
Cooking, fermentation, glass
making, and metallurgy are all
chemical processes that date
from the beginnings of PHYSICAL
civilization. SCIENCE
PHYSICAL SCIENCE CATEGORY
Chemistry,
Today, vinyl, Teflon, liquid
crystals, semiconductors, and
superconductors represent the
fruits of chemical technology
PHYSICAL
SCIENCE
PHYSICAL SCIENCE CATEGORY
Earth Science,
Earth sciences, the fields of
study concerned with the solid
Earth, its waters, and the air that
envelops it. Included are the
geologic, hydrologic, and
atmospheric sciences.
PHYSICAL
SCIENCE
PHYSICAL SCIENCE CATEGORY
Earth Science,
The broad aim of the Earth
sciences is to understand the
present features and past
evolution of Earth and to use this
knowledge, where appropriate,
for the benefit of humankind.
PHYSICAL
SCIENCE
PHYSICAL SCIENCE CATEGORY
Robotics,
a collaborative study of
Computer science, mechanical
engineering, electrical
engineering.
PHYSICAL
SCIENCE
ROBOTICS CATEGORY
Robotics,
deals with the design, operation,
application and construction of
Robots and their association
with computers and human.
