 1. Beaker Glass
• a container to collect the liquid
that is used for stirring, mixing
and heating liquids. Beaker glass
shape is a tube or cylinder with a
flat base with a variety of sizes. In
the laboratory, beaker glass can
be used to heat the material or
liquid solution can also be used
to create a solution container.
Size glass beaker consisting of 25
mL, 50 mL, 100 mL, 150 mL, 250
mL, 500 mL, 1 L, 2 L, and so forth
2. Measuring Glass/ Measuring Cylinder
• Measuring glass used to
measure the volume of
fluid at different
volume sizes. It can also
be used to soak the
pipette in an acid wash
 3. Lab Coat
• Lab coat (Jas laboratory) serves
to protect the body from
harmful chemical splashes.
There are two kind of
disposable lab coats and lab
coats used many times.
Disposable lab coat is
commonly used in laboratory
and animal biology, while lab
coat used many times used in
the chemical laboratory.
 6. Volumetric Pipette
• Used to take a solution
with a volume
appropriate to the label
attached on the bulging
portion (goiter) in the
central part of the
pipette
 4. Watch glass
• Watch glass is used to
weigh chemicals which
are hygroscopic, as a
cover when warming
chemicals, and as a
material container to
dry in a desiccator.
 5. Volumetric Flask
• Volumetric Flask
function to create a
solution with a certain
concentration and
dilute the solution with
high accuracy
 7. Boiling Stones
• The use of boiling stone in
the distillation process is
intended to speed up the
process boiling the sample
to withstand the pressure
or pressing the hot bubbles
in the sample and spread
the heat there to all parts of
the sample.
 8. Analytical Balance
• function to weigh a
substance with a high
degree of accuracy.
 9. Pipette/Dropper
• Pipette (pipette drop)
helps to move liquids
from one container to
another container in very
small quantities drop by
drop
 12. Magnetic Stirrer
• Magnetic stirrer function
to homogenize the
solution with stirring. Hot
Plate contained in this
tool can be heated so as
to speed up the process
of homogenization.
 10. Rotary Evaporator
• To separate the substance
from a mixture. For
example to separate the
solvent n-hexane is used to
extract oil from a material
 11. Stir Bar

• Stir bar is a tool that is

used as a stirrer solution
or could be to take
something in the bottom
of the beaker.
 13. TLC Chamber
• Containers for the process
of thin layer
