COMMON LABORATORY EQUIPMENTS

Beaker glass It is used for containing

chemical reaction and collect
liquid in titration experiment.
Available in a wide range of
sizes (usually 50, 100, 150,
250, 500, 1000 ml). not very
accurate for measurement.

Erlenmeyer flask It is mostly used as a

container during heating and
boiling. Available in a wide
range of sizes (usually 150,
250, 500 ml). not very
accurate for measurement,
but better than beaker.

Florence flask It is mostly used as a

container during heating and
boiling. Available in a wide
range of sizes (usually 150,
250, 500 ml). not very
accurate for measurement

Graduated cylinder It is used to measure volume

/measuring cylinder of liquid. Available in a wide
range of sizes (from 5-1000
ml). better accuracy than
beaker and flask.

Test tube It is mainly used to hold

small amount of liquid. It can
Test tube holder
also be used to react
Test tube rack chemicals. In experiments
that require heating, test tube
holder is used to hold and
move the test tube.
Eye droppers It is used to transfer small
amount of liquid with high
Pipettes
accuracy.

Funnel It is used to guide liquid or

powder into another
container without spills.

Mortar and pastel It is used to grind chemicals

to finer powder.

24 well-plate It is used to hold liquid in

micro amount.
Burette The set is used in quantitative
chemical analysis (usually
Clamp
titration experiment) to
Ring stand measure the volume of liquid
with high accuracy

Spatula It is used to transfer powder.

Digital balance A device used to measure

mass of an object. In this lab,
usually for chemicals or
experiment involving density
measurement.
