Familiarization of Laboratory - Used to prepare solutions and

Apparatus to make precise dilutions

- Lower meniscus – clear
 Measuring solution
Mass - Upper meniscus – colored
solutions
1. Analytical Balance 4. Graduated Cylinder
- Used when utmost sensitivity - Accurately measures the
is needed volume
- May harang called Draft 5. Burette
Shield (plastic or glass) - used to accurately deliver
2. Triple Beam Balance variable volumes of liquid
- Three weights that slide - Stopcock – is turned to
along individually calibrated control the amount of liquid
scales being released
- 100g(500g max), 10g(100g 6. Pipette
max), 1g(10g max) - Used to measure and transfer
3. Top loading balance an exact volume of liquid
- Allows measurements to be Types of Pipette
made quickly thus making it 1. Based on calibration
the most convenient
 To contain –
- Electric and digital
contain necessary
- Have the Tare Button (when
volume but cannot
pressed it will go back to
deliver bc solution
zero)
tends to cling to
Volume – if it has graduations it’s for surfaces
measuring  To deliver – will
deliver exact

tip should not be
- Heat, mix, store liquids
blown out
- Narrow neck – facilitates
2. Based on drainage
mixing without spilling
characteristics
3. Volumetric Flask
 Self draining – 1
- Measures an exact volume of
ring, let it drain
liquid
on its own, tip of
- One specific amount of
pipette should

touch receiving
vessel
  Blow out – 2 - No spillage
rings on upper 4. Thistle tube
end, need to - Allows insertion into another
blow out last tip container to transfer liquids
 Observe Reactions
Micro pipette – measures micro liter
1. Test tube
Volumetric pipette - used for handling or heating
small amounts of substances
Mohr measuring – graduation do not
2. Spot plate
reach the tip
- 12 spots
Serological – graduation is up to the tip - Observe multiple reactions at
a time
3. Watch glass
 Heating Purposes - Used for evaporating liquid
- Source of heat - Cover for beakers
1. Alcohol Lamp - Holding solids
- Used to produce open flames 4. Evaporating dish
2. Bunsen Burner - Used to heat and
- Has a knob to adjust the consequently evaporate
amount of gas flow and a liquids
rotating collar that controls 5. Crucible with cover
airflow - observe reactions or heating
3. Tirril Burner  Support
- Control the temperature and 1. Clay Triangle
flame size - Support for funnel, crucible/
4. Hot plate evaporating dish
- Madali and safe - Placed on iron ring or iron
- Some have magnetic stirrers stand
so automatic na nasstir 2. Iron Clamp
 Transferring - Used to secure equipment to
1. Spatula a support stand
- For scraping or transfer small 3. Iron Ring
amount of solids (powder/ - To support flasks or funnels
crystal form) upright
2. Dropper 4. Iron Stand
- Transfer small amounts of - Provide support for other
liquid equipments
3. Glass funnel 5. Tripod
- Transfer liquids in containers - Platform to support
- Filtration glasswares
 - Heating, filtration
6. Test tube rack
- For holding test tubes upright
 Specific Purposes
1. Crucible tongs
- used to hold crucibles while
heating
2. Test tube holder
- Used to hold test tubes while
heating
3. Centrifuge tube
- Used to contain samples to be Analytical Balance
separated via centrifugation
4. Condenser
- Used to cool and condense
hot vapors from a heated
solution
5. Distilling flask
- Used to separate a mixture of
two liquids with different
boiling points
6. Buchner Funnel Triple Beam Balance
- Cylindrical filtering funnel
used primarily during
pressure assisted filtration
(Vacuum filtration)
7. Filter paper
- Separate fine substances from
liquids during filtration
8. Ph meter
- Determines the ph of a
solution
- To identify ph, we measure
activity of hydrogen ions
9. Water bath
- used to keep water at a
Top loading Balance
constant temperature for
incubating samples
