liquid during distillation processes,
facilitating the separation of components.

Desiccator

Description: A sealed container with a

drying agent ( silica gel) used to maintain
a low-humidity environment.

Function: Protects moisture-sensitive

substances from humidity and is
commonly used in analytical chemistry.

NAME: LORENZO, SHAZNAEY ALAINA MARISSE T.

 Flask

Description: A vessel with a narrow neck

and a flat or round bottom.

Function: Comes in various types

(Erlenmeyer, Florence, etc.) and is used
for mixing, heating, or storing liquids. The
narrow neck minimizes evaporation.

Graduated Cylinder

Description: A tall, cylindrical container

with volume graduations on the side.

Function: Used for measuring and

transferring liquids with relatively high
accuracy.

NAME: LORENZO, SHAZNAEY ALAINA MARISSE T.

 Hot Plate

Description: A flat, electrically heated

surface used for heating and maintaining
the temperature of substances.

Function: Widely used in laboratories for

tasks like heating solutions, melting solids,
or maintaining a constant temperature
during experiments.

Incubator

Description: A device that provides

controlled environmental conditions, such
as temperature and humidity, to promote
the growth of cultures.

Function: Essential for the cultivation of

microorganisms and cells, commonly used
in microbiology, cell biology, and
molecular biology.

NAME: LORENZO, SHAZNAEY ALAINA MARISSE T.

 Inoculating Loops/Needle

Description: A wire loop or needle used

for transferring and inoculating
microorganisms onto culture media.

Function: Commonly used in

microbiology to isolate and transfer
bacterial colonies for further study and
analysis.

Microscope

Description: An optical instrument that

magnifies small objects, enabling the
observation of details not visible to the
naked eye.

Function: Used for examining cells,

tissues, microorganisms, and other small
structures in various fields such as biology
and medicine.

NAME: LORENZO, SHAZNAEY ALAINA MARISSE T.

 Petri Dish

Description: A shallow, circular dish with

a lid.

Function: Used for culturing cells,

bacteria, or other microorganisms in a
laboratory setting.

Pipette

Description: A precision instrument used

for measuring and transferring small
volumes of liquid.

Function: Crucial in various scientific

disciplines, especially in biology and
chemistry, for accurate dispensing of
liquids during experiments.

NAME: LORENZO, SHAZNAEY ALAINA MARISSE T.

 Refrigerator (Food)

Description: A cooling appliance

designed to store food at low temperatures
to slow down spoilage.

Functions: Used in laboratories to store

reagents, samples, and certain types of
biological materials at low temperatures to
maintain their stability.

Test Tube

Description: A thin, cylindrical glass tube

with a rounded bottom and an open top.

Function: Commonly used for holding

small amounts of liquid, conducting small-
scale reactions, and culturing
microorganisms.

NAME: LORENZO, SHAZNAEY ALAINA MARISSE T.

 Volumetric Flask

Description: A flask with a precise

volume graduation mark at a specific
temperature.

Function: Designed for the accurate

preparation of solutions with a known
concentration.

Watch Glass

Description: A flat, circular glass dish

with a slight concave shape.

Function: Used as a cover for beakers and

evaporating dishes, or for holding small
amounts of substances for observation.

NAME: LORENZO, SHAZNAEY ALAINA MARISSE T.

 Weighing Scale

Description: An instrument used to

measure the mass or weight of an object.

Function: Used in various scientific and

industrial settings for precise measurement
of substances, crucial in analytical
chemistry, pharmaceuticals, and other
fields.

NAME: LORENZO, SHAZNAEY ALAINA MARISSE T.

 Type A Biosafety Cabinet

Description: Type A cabinets are

designed to provide personnel protection
and a sterile work environment but do not
offer product protection. They use a single
high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA)
filter to filter the inflow and outflow air.

Functions: Type A cabinets primarily

focus on protecting laboratory personnel
and the environment by filtering the air.
These cabinets have inward airflow to
capture and filter hazardous particles,
providing a barrier between the user and
the biological materials. Part of the filtered
air is recirculated into the laboratory, while
the remainder is exhausted to the
environment or treated through a facility
exhaust system.

Type B Biosafety Cabinet

Description: Type B cabinets are further

classified into B1 and B2, each with
distinct airflow patterns and exhaust
systems.

Functions: Similar to Type A, B cabinets

protect laboratory personnel from
exposure to biological agents. Type B
cabinets offer product protection by using
HEPA-filtered down flow air to prevent
contamination of the work surface and
materials.
