  it can be used as
  a container,
  shows
  
approximate
BEAKER    
volume, and
     
maybe heated
 

Used to heat
substances, to
combust
BUNSEN   substances, and
BURNER
to sterilize
objects on high
heat.
  

Used to dispense
small volumes of
liquid called
BURETTE   aliquots, or
sometimes gas,
with high
accuracy.

Are designed to
be worn in
combination
with a lab coat to
 
provide extra
protection when
pouring
corrosive
CHEMICAL
APRON
  chemicals, using
an acid bath, or
manipulating
chemicals in a
manner that
increases the
likelihood for
splashes or
spills.
 It is used in
conjunction with
other lab
CLAY
 
equipment to
TRIANGLE create a stable
framework to
heat in high
temperature.

Is a type of
laboratory
glassware
designed to melt
or burn solid
chemicals over a
CRUCIBLE & burner. Made
COVER from heat-
resistant ceramic
or metal, they'll
withstand high
temperatures up
to 1050°
Fahrenheit.

CRUCIBLE
TONGS Are welded steel
tools used to lift
a hot crucible
from a furnace
or for other
items which
cannot be
 handled with
bare hands.

 Is a pipette
consisting of a
small tube with a
vacuum bulb at
DROPPER  
one end for
drawing liquid in
and releasing it a
drop at a time.
ELECTRONI
C 
   Is an instrument
(ANALYTIC used in the
AL) accurate
BALANCE measurement of
weight of
materials.
Electronic
balance is a
significant
instrument for
the laboratories
for precise
measurement of
chemicals which
are used in
various
experiments.
Laboratory
electronic
balance provides
digital result of
measurement.
 Are used to
contain liquids
and for mixing,
heating, cooling,
incubation,
filtration,
storage, and
other liquid-
handling
processes. Their
ERLENMEY
ER FLASK
  slanted sides and
narrow necks
allow the
contents to be
mixed by
swirling without
the risk of spills,
which is useful
for titrations and
for boiling
liquids.

Is a piece of
laboratory
glassware used
for the
evaporation of
EVAPORATI
NG DISH
  solutions and
supernatant
liquids, and
sometimes to
their melting
point.
 These large,
round-shaped
flasks are used
for boiling
purposes. The
flask has a long,
thin neck & is
FLORENCE
FLASK
  slightly flared at
the rim opening.
The round
bottom design
helps to easily
heat the solution
inside with a
Bunsen burner.

Are small tools

useful in a range
of laboratory and
other working
FORCEPS   environments for
gripping and
manipulating
small or delicate
objects.
FUNNEL   Are used to
channel liquids
or fine-grained
chemicals
(powders) into
labware with a
narrow neck or
opening. Often,
they are made of
plastic such as
polypropylene.
Reusable
products can be
sterilized in an
 autoclave.

These are tight-

fitting eye
protection that
completely
covers the eyes
and provides
protection from
chemical
splashes, impact,
and dust.
LAB
GOGGLES
  Goggles are
routinely used
for protection
against chemical
splash hazards,
use of
concentrated
corrosive
material, and
bulk chemical
transfer.

Is a piece of
laboratory
apparatus used to
GRADUATE
measure the
D  
CYLINDER volume of a
liquids,
  chemicals or
solutions.
HEAT
RESISTANT
    Are designed for
GLOVES protection from
high
temperatures
found in
laboratories.
They are usually
 made of heat-
and/or flame-
resistant
materials.

 Are also
commonly used
in the organic
lab. They are
used to hold
separatory
funnels (Figure
IRON RING  
1.6a), and can be
used to secure
 
funnels when
filtering or
pouring liquids
into narrow
joints

 Are a pair of
tools used to
grind substances
into a powder or
  paste. A
porcelain mortar
and pestle set is
sufficient for
MORTAR &
PESTLE
  most laboratory
applications, as
unglazed
porcelain is hard
enough to crush
most materials
while being
resistant to high
temperatures.

PIPETTE     Are generally

used for moving
 small amounts of
liquid or when
measuring and
dispensing liquid
in mL units.
When measuring
less than 1 mL,
Micropipettes
are more
accurate and
user-friendly.

Are mainly used

  to wash or rinse
various pieces of
glassware or
plastic ware in
PLASTIC
the laboratory,
WASH  
they also have
BOTTLE
less frequent
uses such as
precisely filling
volumetric
flasks.

Are also
commonly used
in the organic
lab. They are
used to hold
separatory
RING   funnels and can
CLAMP 
be used to secure
funnels when
filtering or
 
pouring liquids
into narrow
joints.
 Are used to hold
glassware in
place during an
experimental
RING
procedure. You
STAND   can attach ring
(SUPPORT
clamps, versatile
STAND)
clamps, or 3-
 
prong clamps
(the latter require
clamp holders).

Are ideal for

plugging joints
or holes in
laboratory
glassware and
creating a liquid-
tight seal.
Rubber bungs
RUBBER   are often used
STOPPER
with glass
containers such
 
as test tubes,
flasks, jugs, and
many other
pieces of
standard lab
equipment.

SCOOPUL     Are long, scoop-

A shaped and made
of metal. They
are used
interchangeably
with spatulas to
transfer solids: to
a weigh paper
for weighing, to
a coverslip for
 melting point,
scraping out of a
flask or beaker
to a watch glass,
etc.

Are an everyday
necessity in
materials testing
for mixing,
lifting, and
handling
powders,
SPATULA   granular
materials, and
other solids, as
  well as for
stirring or
mixing liquids
and other wet
products.

  Is a lab
instrument
designed to
SPOT   facilitate the
PLATES
testing of
multiple
samples.

STIRRING   Is used for

ROD mixing liquids,
or solids and
liquids. Stir rods
are used as part
of proper
laboratory
technique when
  decanting
supernatants
 because the
contact helps to
negate the
adhesion
between the side
of the glassware
and the
supernatant that
is responsible for
the liquid
running down
the side.

Are used to start

  Bunsen burners.
The striker itself
is constructed
STRIKER   with a rough
surface
positioned
opposite to a
piece of flint.

Are widely used

 
by chemists to
hold, mix, or
heat small
quantities of
TEST   solid or liquid
TUBE
chemicals,
especially for
qualitative
experiments and
assays.

TEST     Is a brush used

TUBE for cleaning test
BRUSH tubes and narrow
mouth laboratory
glassware, such
 as graduated
cylinders,
burettes, and
Erlenmeyer
flasks.

Is used to hold
 
test tubes. It is
used for holding
TEST TUBE  
a test tube in
HOLDER place when the
tube is hot or
should not be
touched.
 

Are laboratory
equipment used
TEST TUBE
 
to hold upright
RACK multiple test
tubes at the same
time.

Is used to
measure the
THERMOME  
boiling point and
TER freezing point
during science
  experiments.
TRIPLE
BEAM
  Can be used to
BALANCE measure mass
 
directly from the
objects, find
mass by
difference for
 liquid, and
measure out
substances.

Is a kind of
laboratory flask,
calibrated to
VOLUMETRI
C FLASK
  hold an accurate
specific volume
at a specific
  temperature.

Is a round,
concave glass
dish used for
evaporation in
chemistry? It can
WATCH
GLASS
  also be
employed for
  weighing solids
and as a lid for
flasks and
beakers.

Is placed on top
of a stand
positioned
WIRE
 
between a
GAUZE Bunsen burner
and the
  glassware to be
heated.
