According to the relevant management measures, laboratory consumables are divided into reagent laboratory consumables and non-reagent laboratory consumables. Generally speaking, laboratory consumables that are medical devices and have obtained medical device registration certificates issued by national food and drug administrations at all levels are all reagent consumables, and consumables that are not regulated as medical devices are all non-reagent consumables (details See the catalog of products not managed by the State Food and Drug Administration as a medical device).

According to the use and supervision methods of laboratory consumables, they can be roughly divided into seven major categories: conventional consumables, cell culture consumables, molecular biology experimental consumables, microbiology experimental consumables, filtration/purification experimental consumables, special consumables for instruments and equipment, and reagent consumables. kind.

(1) Conventional consumables. Conventional consumables refer to auxiliary consumables that are widely used in various experiments. Versatility is its most prominent feature, including glassware, quartz products, plastic products, and other utensils, such as tips, straws, test tubes, sample cups, etc.

(2) Cell culture consumables. Cell culture technology, also known as cell cloning technology, is one of the fastest-growing technologies in biotechnology in recent years. Special consumables such as cell culture dishes, cell culture flasks, cell culture plates, and cell scrapers used in cell culture experiments belong to cells. Cultivation consumables. The notable features of such consumables are sterile, DNA&RNA-free, pyrogen-free, etc.

(3) Consumables for molecular biology experiments. Molecular biology is a science that studies the structure and function of biological macromolecules at the molecular level, thereby clarifying the nature of life phenomena. At present, the most cutting-edge gene sequencing and precision medicine belong to the category of molecular biology, which is the discipline with the highest quality requirements for laboratory consumables.
