ANALYTICAL BALANCE- are precision measuring


instruments used in quantitative chemical analysis, to
determine the mass of solid objects, liquids, powders and
granular substances.

TRIPLE BEAM BALANCE- is a precise instrument used


for measuring mass. It is named so because it consists of
three beams, each serving a different purpose. The
middle beam is the largest, the far beam is of medium
size, and the front beam is the smallest. The varying sizes
of the beams correspond to the different weights and
scale readings that each beam can measure.

POLARIMETER- a scientific instrument used to measure


the angle of rotation caused by passing polarized light
through an optically active substance.
HOMOGENIZER- handle particle sizes under high
pressures, sheer, turbulence, acceleration and impact, to
make them more stable and clinically effective.

PLATFORM BALANCE- a balance having a platform on


which objects are weighed.

STIR PLATE- The hotplate stirrer (or hot plate stirrer or


hot plate magnetic stirrer) is used for mixing and heating
aqueous solutions for a great variety of chemical reactions
such as synthesis. VELP hotplate stirrers are available in
various models and combinations in both analog and
digital configurations.

WATER BATH- A water bath is a laboratory equipment


that is used to incubate samples at a constant
temperature over a long period of time. Water bath is a
preferred heat source for heating flammable chemicals
instead of an open flame to prevent ignition.

MELTING POINT APPARATUS- A melting-point


apparatus is a scientific instrument used to determine the
melting point of a substance. Some types of melting-point
apparatuses include the Thiele tube, Fisher-Johns
