gases by suction.
Evaporating dish
- Used in heating stable solid

compounds and elements, as
well as for evaporating non
volatile solutions.
Deflagrating spoon
- Used when the burning of phosphorus,

sulfur or another substance is required.
- capable of withstanding high
temperatures and has a long handle
angled to keep heat away from the
hand.
Spatula
- used for scraping, transferring,

or applying powders and paste
like chemicals or treatments.
Magnet
Pinch Cock
- a clamp for compressing a

flexible pipe, as a rubber
tube, in order to regulate or
stop the flow of a fluid.
Crucible and cover
- used for heating certain solids,

particularly metals, to very high
temperature.
Test tube
- use to hold, mix or heat small

quantities of liquid or solid
chemicals.
Test tube brush

Water bath
Bunsen Burner
- used for heating, sterilization, and

combustion.
Wire Gauze
- used to spread the heat of the

flame and support lab equipment
during heating.
Tripod
- It is used as a platform to hold

and support glasswares, such as
beakers and flasks, during
experiments and when the
glassware is not in use.
Crucible tongs
- used to grasp and take a hot

crucible out of a fire or
furnace, or to move a crucible
from one location to another.
Triple beam
balance
- used to measure
masses precisely.
Buret clamp
- used to secure
burets.
Weight hanger
- used to add desired amounts

of weight to create the mass
needed.
- The mass created is used for
experiments involving mass,
acceleration and force.
Iron ring/ iron clamp
- is attached to a ring stand and is

used to support laboratory
equipment above the work
surface.
Fish tail/ Wing Top
- inserted to a Bunsen or gas

burner to spread the flame.

liquids for laboratory
purposes.
Separatory Funnel
- used in liquid-liquid extractions to

separate (partition) the components of a
mixture into two immiscible solvent phases
of different densities.
Florence flask
- It is designed for uniform

heating, boiling, distillation
and ease of swirling. It is used
as a container to hold liquids.
Funnel
- used to channel liquid or
fine grained substances into
containers with small
opening.
