A team of scientists at a research laboratory is conducting a study on the effects of different concentrations of a drug on bacterial growth. They need to accurately measure and prepare precise concentrations of the drug solution for their experiments. Which of the following tools will be needed?

Question

A data collection probe
A data collection probe

A digital balance
A digital balance

A thermometer
A thermometer

A water bath

Answer 1

In order to accurately measure and prepare precise concentrations of a drug solution for their experiments, the team of scientists would specifically need:

1. A digital balance - This tool is essential for precisely weighing out the amount of drug needed to create the desired concentrations in the solution.

While the other tools listed (data collection probe, thermometer, and water bath) may be useful in various contexts within the laboratory environment, they are not directly required for the task of measuring and preparing drug concentrations.

So the most critical tool from the options provided is A digital balance.
