Process equipment supports workflows ranging from basic sample preparation to complex chemical synthesis and biopharmaceutical production. Common applications of process equipment include cell culture, fermentation, chromatography, spectroscopy, filtration, and distillation. For example, bioreactors, often from brands like Sartorius or Thermo Fisher Scientific, are used to cultivate cells or microorganisms under controlled conditions, enabling researchers to study cell behavior and produce valuable biomolecules. Rotary evaporators, frequently supplied by Buchi, are employed for efficient solvent removal, crucial in sample concentration and purification steps within many analytical techniques. Centrifuges, including models from Beckman Coulter or Eppendorf, are widely used for separating substances based on density differences, a critical step in sample preparation for various assays. Other examples of process equipment include filtration systems from Millipore or Pall Corporation, utilized for purifying liquids or gases, and homogenizers, often provided by companies like Precellys, employed for disrupting cells and tissues. Specific models like the Thermo Scientific Sorvall LYNX superspeed centrifuge and the Agilent 1260 Infinity II HPLC are frequently found in research and industrial settings. These instruments operate using a variety of principles. Chromatography systems, such as those offered by Agilent and Waters, separate components within a mixture based on their differential interaction with a stationary and mobile phase, allowing for detailed analysis of complex samples. Spectroscopic instruments from companies like PerkinElmer or Thermo Fisher Scientific utilize light interaction to analyze the composition and properties of materials. Meanwhile, filtration systems employ membranes with varying pore sizes to selectively remove particles or molecules from liquids or gases.
