This centrifuge is commonly used in laboratories to continually agitate tubes containing biological samples in suspension. Gentle agitation allows, for example, to prevent blood clotting or to keep solutions homogeneous.

This robot can automate tedious tasks in molecular biology, particularly for conducting "high throughput" experiments. A large amount of biological material can be processed in a limited amount of time to generate a large amount of data.

Currently, genetic research passes through a computer analysis of patient genomes for cancer research. The charts obtained after sequencing make it possible, in particular, to highlight the genetic mutations responsible for some forms of cancer.

A fluorescent marker allows the cell structure to be seen under the microscope. The dark spot in the centre of each cell is its nucleus and is not marked by the fluorescence.

A researcher's "bench" is their daily research environment : a long desk at which they conduct their experiments, shelves piled with pipettes, reagents and other materials they need, and bits of tape stuck everywhere. They help them to organise their work space, to not to confuse a tube with another, and to work on several experiments in parallel.

To remove trace amounts of products, molecular biology researchers use pipettes to suck up a few micro-litres.

Behind this tangle of cables and tubes is a machine at the forefront of technology that automates tedious tasks requiring great precision. Thus equipped laboratories can conduct high throughput experiments that generate a large amount of data.
