However, prolonged exposure to some concentrated mineral acids or aggressive organic solvents may degrade the coating. Clean spills promptly. Refer to the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for specific chemicals.
-
Spill Management: If a liquid spill occurs on the work plate during operation, turn off the heating and stirring knobs immediately. Unplug the unit, allow the plate to cool (if heated), and wipe the spill clean with a soft, damp cloth. Do not let liquids seep under the work plate or into the housing. The IP42 rating provides protection against splashing water, not against pooling liquids.
-
Operating Environment: Use the MS‑H‑S indoors only, on a stable, level, non‑flammable laboratory benchtop. Do not use in explosive atmospheres or in the presence of flammable gases or vapours. The permissible ambient temperature range is 5–40 °C with relative humidity not exceeding 80 %. Allow at least 10 cm clearance on all sides for proper heat dissipation and ventilation. Do not cover the instrument during operation.
-
Ventilation and Clearance: The unit requires adequate clearance (at least 10 cm from walls and other equipment) for proper heat dissipation and ventilation. Do not cover the instrument.
-
Cleaning and Maintenance: Unplug the unit and allow the work plate to cool completely before cleaning. Wipe the ceramic‑coated work plate and the metal housing with a soft, damp cloth using a mild laboratory detergent or 70 % isopropyl alcohol. Do not immerse the unit in liquid. Do not use abrasive cleaners, metal scouring pads, or sharp objects that could scratch the ceramic coating. Do not saturate the surface with cleaning solution.
-
Monitoring During Use: Because this is an analog model with no digital temperature display, the operator must actively monitor the heating process. Use an external thermometer or temperature probe to verify plate temperature if precise control is required. Do not leave the instrument unattended for extended periods at high temperatures.
-
Residual Heat Warning: The “HOT” warning indicator flashes when the work plate temperature exceeds 50 °C and continues even after the unit is turned off (if still connected to mains). Always verify that the “HOT” indicator has stopped flashing before touching the plate or moving the unit.
-

The kit includes color-coded reagent vials, reaction cards or slides, mixing sticks, lancets, and capillary pipettes. Test time 2-5 minutes (slide method) or 15-30 minutes (tube method). Interpretation based on agglutination pattern: Anti-A positive = group A; Anti-B positive = group B; both positive = group AB; both negative = group O; Anti-D positive = Rh positive; Anti-D negative = Rh negative. Primary clinical applications include pre-transfusion compatibility testing, prenatal and neonatal testing (Rh incompatibility prevention), preoperative blood typing, blood donor screening, and emergency blood typing. Critical safety precautions include refrigerated storage (2-8°C), proper disposal of lancets in sharps containers, universal precautions for blood samples, and confirmation with reverse typing when possible. Essential kit for transfusion medicine, obstetrics, surgery, and emergency care.
Brucella Set
$1.00
A Brucella Set is a comprehensive serological test system (Class II medical device, CE-marked/FDA-cleared) for qualitative and quantitative detection of antibodies against Brucella species (B. abortus, B. melitensis, B. suis, B. canis) using multiple methodologies including tube agglutination, slide agglutination, and 2-mercaptoethanol (2-ME) testing. The set includes killed, stained Brucella antigens, positive and negative controls, dilution tubes, reaction cards, and 2-ME reagent for IgM/IgG differentiation. Diagnostic titer ≥1:160 or fourfold rise confirms brucellosis. Primary clinical applications include diagnosis of brucellosis in endemic regions (undulant fever, night sweats, arthralgia), fever of unknown origin investigation, occupational health screening in high-risk workers (veterinarians, farmers, slaughterhouse workers), diagnosis of focal complications (sacroiliitis, spondylitis, meningitis, endocarditis), treatment monitoring (fourfold decline indicates response), outbreak investigation, and public health surveillance. Critical safety precautions include handling all samples in biosafety cabinet (Brucella is highly infectious via aerosol), 2-ME reagent toxicity (use fume hood), awareness of prozone phenomenon (serial dilutions essential), cross-reactions with other Gram-negative bacteria, and mandatory reporting to public health authorities. Essential test for brucellosis diagnosis in endemic regions and occupational health settings.
Cover Glass
$1.00
Cover Glass (coverslips) are thin, transparent glass or plastic squares (e.g., 18×18 mm, 22×22 mm) or rectangles (22×30 mm, 24×50 mm) used to cover specimens on microscope slides for microscopic examination. Available in thickness No. 1 (0.13-0.16 mm) and No. 1.5 (0.16-0.19 mm) for optimal microscopy. Made from optical glass with high light transmission (>90%), refractive index 1.52 matching immersion oil. Packaged in boxes of 100-1000, interleaved with paper to prevent scratching. Primary clinical applications include covering blood films for manual differential counts and malaria diagnosis, wet mount preparations of urine sediment and vaginal secretions, histopathology and cytology slides, Gram-stained bacterial smears, semen analysis, KOH preparations for fungal elements, and India ink preparations for Cryptococcus. Critical safety precautions include handling with forceps (sharp edges), disposing of broken coverslips in sharps containers, avoiding fingerprints on optical surface, and proper disposal of biohazard-contaminated coverslips. Essential consumable in every clinical laboratory performing microscopy.
Hepatitis B Test Kit
$1.00
The Hepatitis B Test Kit is an in vitro diagnostic device for the detection of Hepatitis B virus markers in human blood samples, available in rapid, ELISA, and molecular formats. It detects specific antigens (HBsAg) and antibodies (anti-HBc, anti-HBs) to diagnose acute and chronic infection, monitor treatment response, screen blood donations, and determine immunity status. With high sensitivity (>98%) and specificity (>99%), it provides results in 15 minutes to 4 hours depending on format. Essential applications include prenatal screening to prevent mother-to-child transmission, evaluation of acute hepatitis, pre-immunosuppression screening, and occupational health testing. All patient samples must be handled with universal precautions, and testing must include appropriate quality controls.
Mission Plus HB Machine
$1.00
The Mission Plus HB Machine is a portable, battery-operated hemoglobin meter (Class II medical device, FDA-cleared/CE-marked) using photometric technology to measure hemoglobin concentration in capillary or venous blood within 5-15 seconds. Features include backlit LCD display, memory storage for 100-500 results, simple one-button operation, and disposable single-use cuvettes (5-20 µL sample volume). Accuracy ±0.3 g/dL compared to reference methods, measurement range 4-24 g/dL. Primary clinical applications include rapid anemia screening in outpatient clinics, preoperative assessment, antenatal care and maternal health monitoring, malaria-endemic region screening, chronic disease management (CKD, IBD, cancer), nutritional assessment and intervention programs, and blood donor screening. Critical safety precautions include single-use lancets, proper hand hygiene, correct sample application, quality control with control solutions, proper cuvette storage (protect from heat, light, humidity), and never using expired cuvettes. Essential point-of-care device for hemoglobin testing in diverse healthcare settings.
Rheumatoid factor
$1.00
Rheumatoid Factor (RF) testing is a quantitative or semi-quantitative serological assay (nephelometry, turbidimetry, latex agglutination, or ELISA) for detecting autoantibodies against the Fc portion of immunoglobulin G, primarily of the IgM isotype. RF is a key marker in the ACR/EULAR classification criteria for rheumatoid arthritis, with sensitivity 60-80% and specificity 70-90%. Test requires serum samples; results reported in IU/mL (reference <15-20 IU/mL) or titer. Primary clinical applications include diagnosis and classification of rheumatoid arthritis, prognostic assessment (high-titer RF correlates with severe, erosive disease), differential diagnosis of inflammatory arthritis, monitoring disease activity, diagnosis of Sjögren's syndrome, evaluation of mixed cryoglobulinemia (hepatitis C-associated), and assessment of other autoimmune and chronic inflammatory conditions. Critical safety precautions include awareness of false positives (other autoimmune diseases, chronic infections, healthy elderly), false negatives (seronegative RA 20-30%), need for clinical correlation, and anti-CCP antibody testing to improve diagnostic accuracy. Essential test for rheumatology practice, autoimmune disease evaluation, and differential diagnosis of inflammatory arthritis.
