A typical set-up has a haematology laboratory, a clinical and human physiology laboratory, an experimental laboratory, a demonstration room and staff rooms. The haematology bench needs student microscopes, haemoglobinometers, haemocytometers and ESR pipettes. Clinical and human physiology uses BP apparatus, stethoscopes, ECG machines, spirometers, perimeters, ergographs, aesthesiometers and tuning forks. Experimental work uses physiographs or data acquisition systems, kymographs, stimulators and their accessories.
Unnat Exports supplies physiology apparatus as well as laboratory furniture for these rooms. Choose the items and quantities that fit your teaching plan.
