A beaker is a simple container for stirring, mixing and

heating liquids commonly used in many laboratories.


Beakers are generally cylindrical in shape, with a flat
bottom. Most also have a small spout (or "beak") to
aid pouring as shown in the picture.

A burette (also buret) is a device used in analytical


chemistry for the dispensing of variable, measured amounts of
a chemical solution. A volumetric burette delivers measured
volumes of liquid. Piston burettes are similar to syringes, but
with precision bore and plunger. Piston burettes may be
manually operated or may be motorized.[1] A weight burette
delivers measured weights of liquid.[2]

An Erlenmeyer flask or conical flask[1] is a type of


laboratory flask which features a flat bottom, a conical
body, and a cylindrical neck. It is named after the German
chemist Emil Erlenmeyer (18251909), who created it in
1860.[2]
The tapered sides and narrow neck of this flask allow the
contents of the flask to be mixed by swirling, without risk
of spillage, making them suitable for titrations. Such
features similarly make the flask suitable for boiling
liquids. Hot vapors condense on the upper section of the

Erlenmeyer flask, reducing solvent loss. Erlenmeyer


flasks' narrow necks can also support filter funnels.

A Florence flask is a type of flask used as


an item of laboratory glassware. It is used as
a container to hold liquids. A Florence flask
has a round body, a single long neck, and
often a flat bottom.It is designed for uniform

heating, boiling, distillation and ease of swirling; it is


produced in a number of different glass thicknesses
to stand different types of use. They are often made
of borosilicate glass for heat and chemical
resistance. Traditional Florence flasks typically do
not have a ground glass joint on their rather longer
necks, but typically have a slight lip or flange around
the tip of the neck. A common volume for a Florence
flask is 1 litre.[1]

A graduated cylinder, measuring cylinder or


mixing cylinder is a common piece of laboratory
equipment used to measure the volume of a liquid.
It has a narrow cylindrical shape. Each marked line
on the graduated cylinder represents the amount of
liquid that has been measured.

A pipette or dropper is a laboratory tool


commonly used in chemistry, biology and
medicine to transport a measured volume of
liquid, often as a media dispenser
Test Tubes - a thin glass tube closed at one end,
used to hold small amounts of material for
laboratory
testing or experiments.

A Glass rod, stirring rod or stir rod is a piece of


laboratory equipment used to mix chemicals and
liquids for laboratory purposes. They are usually
made of solid glass, about the thickness and slightly
longer than a drinking straw, with rounded ends.
Like most laboratory glass, stir rods are made of
borosilicate (commonly known as pyrex)

A volumetric flask (measuring flask or graduated


flask) is a piece of laboratory glassware, a type of
laboratory flask, calibrated to contain a precise
volume at a particular temperature. Volumetric
flasks are used for precise dilutions and preparation
of standard solutions. These flasks are usually pearshaped, with a flat bottom, and made of glass or
plastic.

Reagent bottles, also


known as media bottles or
graduated bottles, are containers
made of glass, plastic, borosilicate
or related substances, and topped
by special caps or stoppers and
are intended to contain chemicals
in liquid or powder form for
laboratories and stored in cabinets
or on shelves.

A crucible is a container that can withstand
very high temperatures and is used for metal, glass,
and pigment production as well as a number of
modern laboratory processes. While crucibles
historically were usually made from clay,[1] they can
be made from any material that withstands
temperatures high enough to melt or otherwise alter
its contents

An evaporating dish is a piece of


laboratory glassware used for the evaporation
of solutions and supernatant liquids,[note 1] and
sometimes to their melting point. Evaporating
dishes are used to evaporate excess solvents
- most commonly water - to produce a
concentrated solution or a solid precipitate of
the dissolved substance

Funnel a tube or pipe that is wide at the top


and narrow at the bottom, used for guiding liquid
or powder into a small opening

A mortar and pestle is a device used


since ancient times to prepare ingredients or
substances by crushing and grinding them
into a fine paste or powder.

A thermometer is a device that


measures temperature or a temperature
gradient.

A wash bottle is a squeeze bottle with a


nozzle, used to rinse various pieces of
laboratory glassware, such as test tubes and
round bottom flasks.

A watch glass is a circular concave


piece of glass used in chemistry as a surface
to evaporate a liquid, to hold solids while
being weighed, as a cover for a beaker, and
for heating a small amount of substance.

Clay triangle is a piece of laboratory equipment
used in the process of heating substances by a
Bunsen burner (e.g. to support a crucible when its
being heated).

Crucible tongs are tools


that can
be used in either a laboratory
setting or an industrial setting.
In both cases, the tongs are used
to safely move a piece of
equipment called a crucible that
contains potentially dangerous
materials that must be handled
very carefully.

An iron clam is an item of laboratory


equipment which comprises a conjoined metal
ring and radially-extending rod.[1] In some
cases, the rod terminates in a screw clamp for
attachment to a retort stand or other support;
in others, the rod may be attached to a stand
by means of a laboratory clamp holder.[2] Iron
rings are commonly used in chemistry
laboratories for supporting apparatus above
the work surface.

Spatula an implement with a broad, flat, blunt


blade, used for mixing and spreading things,
especially in cooking and painting.

Test tube rack is a laboratory equipment that


is used to hold upright multiple test tubes at
the same time. It is most commonly used
when various different solutions are needed to
work with simultaneously, for safety reasons,
for safe storage of test tubes, and to ease the
transport of multiple tubes. Test tube racks
also ease the organizing of test tubes and
provide support for the test tubes being
worked with

Wire Gauze a weave structure is used to add


stability to fabric, which is important when
using fine yarns loosely spaced. However, this
weave structure can be used with any weight
of yarn, and can be seen in some rustic

textiles made from coarse hand-spun plant


fiber yarns.

ring stand and is used to support


laboratory equipment above the work
surface

The function of a test tube brush is


the clean test tubes used in a
science laboratory. Test tube
brushes are also useful in cleaning
aquarium tanks. They consist of
twisted wire handles connected to
bristles that are made of Nylon or a
similar material such as Tynex.
A test tube holder can be made from wood
or metal.[1] It is used for holding a test tube in
place[2] when the tube is hot or should not be
touched.[3] For example, a test tube holder can
be used to hold a test tube while it is being
heated.[4] Moreover, when heating the tube
with liquid or solid contained inside, the tube
holder ought to tightly hold a test tube[5] in
order for the tube to be safely held while
heating

An alcohol burner is a piece of laboratory


equipment used to produce an open flame. It
can be made from either aluminium or glass.

A Bunsen burner, named after Robert


Bunsen, is a common piece of
laboratory equipment that produces a
single open gas flame, which is used for

heating, sterilization, and combustion.


The gas can be natural gas (which is
mainly methane) or a liquefied
petroleum gas, such as propane,
butane, or a mixture of both.
