1: Petri Dish Petri dish is a shallow, cylindrical, round glass dish, which is used to culture
different microorganism and cells. It is one of important science laboratory equipments used. To
study microorganisms like bacteria and virus in detail, it is very important to get them isolated
from other species.

2: Tongs Tongs are large pincers for grasping and lifting vessels of heat-resistant material used
in high temperature chemical reactions.

3: Bunsen Burner Bunsen burner is a common piece of

science equipment that produces a single open gas
flame, which is used for heating, sterilization, and
combustion.
4: Funnel Funnel is 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.
Funnels are usually made of stainless steel,
aluminium, glass, or plastic

5: Inoculating loop An inoculating loop is a simple tool used mainly by microbiologists to pick

up and transfer a small sample (inoculum) from a culture of microorganisms, e.g. for streaking
on a culture

6: Conical flask Conical flask

can be used for making solutions or for holding, containing, collecting, or sometimes
volumetrically measuring chemicals, samples, solutions, etc. for chemical reactions or other
processes such as mixing, heating, cooling, dissolving, precipitation, boiling or analysis.
7: Measuring Jar Measuring jar is used primarily to measure the volume of liquid or bulk solid.

8: Test tube rack Test tube racks are laboratory

equipment used to hold upright multiple test tubes
at the same time. They are 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.

9: Agar slant Agar

slants are used for storing pure cultures for a
moderately long term.
10: Spatular Spatulas and microspatulas are small stainless steel utensils, used for scraping,
transferring, or applying powders and paste like chemicals or treatments.

11: Culture media in glass tube Culture medium is a solid, liquid or semi-solid designed to
support the growth of microorganisms or cells, or small plants like the moss Physcomitrella
patens.

12: Glass spreader Glass

spreaders are
shaped glass rods used for spreading bacteria onto worm plates during the chunking worms
protocol.
13: Analytical balance Analytical balances are highly sensitive lab instruments designed to
accurately measure mass. Their readability has a range between 0.1mg - 0.01mg. Analytical
balances have a draft shield or weighing chamber to prevent the very small samples from being
affected by air currents

14: Forceps
Forceps are used when fingers are too large to grasp small objects or when many objects need to
be held at one time while the hands are used to perform a task

15: pipette A pipette is a laboratory tool commonly used in chemistry, biology and medicine to
transport a measured
volume of liquid, often as a
media dispenser
16: Micro pipette Micropipettes are precision
instruments that are designed to accurately
and precisely transfer volumes in the microliter
range.

17: Microscope A
microscope is an
instrument used to see objects
that are too small to be seen by
the naked eye
18: Tripod A laboratory
tripod is a three-legged
platform used to support
flasks and beakers.
Tripods are usually made of
stainless steel or
aluminium and lightly
built for portability within the
lab. Often a wire gauze is
placed on top of the tripod to
provide a flat base for
glassware. 
19: Glass slide A glass slide is a thin, flat, rectangular piece of glass that is used as a platform
for microscopic specimen observation.

20: Cavity slide cavity

slide has one or more shallow
depression designed to hold
slightly thicker objects, and
certain samples such as liquids
and tissue cultures.
21: Cover slip Cover slips are small squares of glass that cover the specimen placed on the
microscope slide. They flatten the
specimen for better viewing and also
decrease the rate of evaporation
from the sample, both in wet and
dry mounted slides

22: Wire brush Wire brushes are

designed for the purpose of cleaning
test tubes, therefore are developed
to be able to reach all corners of the
glassware.
23: Autoclave Autoclaves operate at high temperature and pressure in order to kill
microorganisms and spores. They are
used to decontaminate certain
biological waste and sterilize media,
instruments and lab ware.

24: Lab coat lab coats protect against

accidental spills, e.g.,
acids. In this case, they usually have
long sleeves and are made of
absorbent material, such as cotton, so
that the user can be protected
from the chemical.
25: Disinfectant
Spray Disinfectant
Spray are spray
containers containing
disinfectant which are used
to clean/disinfect
working bench
in the
laboratory

26: Hot plate The hot plate

is a vital device that is used
in a laboratory to heat
samples. The fact that it has
the ability to heat the
sample without any
exposed flames is one of the
major advantages. 
27: Laminar air flow Laminar Flow Cabinets work by the use of in-flow laminar air drawn
through one or more HEPA filters, designed to create a particle-free working environment and
provide product protection. Air is taken through a filtration system and then exhausted across the
work surface as part of the laminar flows process.

28: Goggles Goggles or

safety glasses, are
forms of protective
eyewear that usually enclose or protect the area surrounding the eye in order to prevent
particulates, water or chemicals from striking the eyes.

29: Colony Counter A colony counter is an instrument used to count colonies of bacteria or
other microorganisms growing on an agar plate.

30: Cotton swab Medical-

type swabs are often used to
take microbiological cultures. They are rubbed onto or into the infected area, then wiped across
the culture medium, such as an agar plate, where bacteria from the swab may grow.
.
31: Incubator An
incubator is a device
used to grow and
maintain
microbiological
cultures or cell
cultures. The
incubator maintains
optimal temperature,
humidity and other
conditions such as
the CO2 and oxygen
content of the
atmosphere inside.
