What role does laboratory equipment play in cancer research?
Laboratory equipment is essential for cancer research and the development of new treatments. Flow cytometers are used to analyze the physical and chemical properties of cells, aiding in the identification of cancerous cells. PCR machines (Polymerase Chain Reaction) amplify DNA sequences, enabling researchers to study genetic mutations associated with cancer. Microscopes, including electron microscopes, provide detailed views of cancer cell morphology. Cell culture equipment supports the growth and study of cancer cells in vitro, facilitating drug testing and molecular biology studies.
