While choosing the equipment for one’s diagnostic lab, the most important things to remember is to make a purchase as per your Setup requirements and space available. 

To understand better here is the list of the most essential Diagnostic  lab Equipment  

Diagnostic Laboratory Equipment List: 

• Hematology Analyzer: An Automated diagnostic lab machine used to perform CBC (Complete Blood Count), used to identify and count white & red blood cells, platelets and also measuring hemoglobin. These systems use electrical impedance & flow cytometry technology to analyse blood samples quickly. They range from 3-part to 5-part/6-part differentials,[Text Wrapping Break][Text Wrapping Break] 

• Biochemistry Analyzer: Diagnostic laboratory equipment to measure analytes such as sugar, enzymes, cholesterol & protein by using technologies like spectrophotometry. It’s an important diagnostic lab machine for diagnosis of diseases related to kidney, heart & liver. Depending on the required workload and automation it is usually classified into two types: semi-automated or fully automated.[Text Wrapping Break] 

• Electrolyte Analyzer: Used to measure the concentration of electrolytes in a biological sample ideally serum or blood. These electrolytes are nothing but essential ions of the human body, like Ca2+ (calcium), HCO3- (Bicarbonate), K+ (Potassium), Na+ (Sodium). The correct measurement is essential for diagnosis of several medical conditions.[Text Wrapping Break][Text Wrapping Break] 

• Coagulation Analyzer: Used to test for the coagulation efficiency of the blood sample, it measures the blood platelet levels in a simple and fast process. It is mainly used to assess and diagnose bleeding disorders such as hemophilia and also to monitor patients on medication of medicines like, warfarin or aspirin.[Text Wrapping Break]It consists of a  unit for recording & a unit of a thermostatic switch and a ball dosing apparatus. The device can  operate off-line or can  be connected to a computer. 

• Microscope: One of the most common diagnostic lab equipment, A [Text Wrapping Break]A laboratory microscope is designed specifically to magnify and to get the fine details of samples that are usually not visible to the naked eye. [Text Wrapping Break]It  is a precision optical instrument used in various scientific fields such as biology, medicine, materials science, and chemistry.[Text Wrapping Break] 

• Centrifuge: One of the most useful tools in the diagnostic lab set up is Centrifuge. Based on Density it separates heterogeneous mixtures into their individual components. The basic principle of a Centrifuge is to spin samples at a high speed so that denser particles fall to the bottom and lighter particles rise to the top. In the diagnostic lab it is commonly used to separate solids from liquids, like blood cells from plasma or separating proteins from a solution.Centrifuge’s most common application in a  diagnostic lab is in the separation of red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets from whole blood.
