Each biotech lab is unique, with equipment needs varying based on the specific research focus. For example, a mammalian cell culture lab studying hemochromatosis requires different tools than a lab focusing on protein expression in insect cell cultures.
To meet these diverse demands, many labs expand their setups to include ultra-low (-86°C) freezers, cryogenic storage tanks, and larger floor-model centrifuges to enhance batch processing and throughput.
Common additional equipment includes autoclaves, top-loading and analytical balances, microplate washers, and laboratory glassware washers.
