Life Sciences Testing Equipment & Instruments

GAO Tek’s life sciences meters and analyzers have the following functions:

• Measurement of Biomolecules: GAOTek’s life sciences meters and analyzers are designed to measure various biomolecules such as DNA, RNA, proteins, enzymes, and metabolites. These instruments utilize techniques such as spectrophotometry, fluorometry, and chromatography to quantitatively assess the concentration, purity, and quality of biomolecular samples.
• Cell Counting and Viability Assessment: Cell counting is a critical task in many life sciences applications. Our meters and analyzers equipped with fluorescence-based detection methods, such as flow cytometry or image cytometry, enable accurate cell counting, size determination, and viability assessment.
• Dissolved Oxygen Measurement: GAO’s dissolved oxygen analyzers are used to determine the concentration of oxygen dissolved in liquids, such as cell culture media, fermentation broths, or environmental samples. These measurements are crucial for assessing oxygen availability in biological systems and optimizing aerobic processes.
• Temperature Control and Monitoring: GAO life sciences meters and analyzers feature integrated temperature control and monitoring capabilities. Precise temperature control is essential for maintaining the viability and integrity of samples, as well as optimizing enzymatic reactions and cell cultures.
• Microbiological Analysis: Our life sciences meters and analyzers designed for microbiological analysis offer features such as microbial growth monitoring, colony counting, and antibiotic susceptibility testing. These instruments help researchers and clinicians study microbial populations, assess antimicrobial effectiveness, and detect and identify pathogenic microorganisms.
