the eye from any
chemicals.
Latex gloves must be
used to avoid corrosive
chemicals dripping onto
your hands.
A lab gown/ apron
prevents injury and
protect your dress from

-filtering into
-store
liquids
Florence flask
-gentle heating of reactions

-performing reactions that

produce heat
Volumetric flask

Test tubes
-perform small reactions
-heat small amounts of liquids or
solids
Test tube rack
- hold test tubes
Test tube holder
- hold and move hot test tubes
-used when heating a test tube for a
short period of
time
Graduated
cylinder
- measuring
liquids
Dropper
- transfer small
amounts of liquids
Buret/ Burette

- used in titration to add

accurate volumes of
titrant to
an analyte
Buret/ Burette
Pipette

-transferring liquids

-graduated so volume
added can be flexible
Pipette bulb
-It serves as a vacuum
source for filling reagents
through a pipette
watch glass

tests
Petri dish

-growing (culturing)
cells or bacteria
Filter paper
-It is used to separate
fine substances from
liquids
- remove solids from
liquids
Funnels
-used with filter paper to
filter a solid from a liquid

-for transferring liquids

to a smaller mouth
container
Separatory
Funnels
-use in separating
mixtures
Ring stand
-to mount apparatus
Ring clamp/ iron ring

-attaches to a stand to support

wire gauze
or a clay triangle when
heating a beaker, crucible or
evaporating
dish
Clay triangle

-to support a crucible

while heating
Wire gauze
-to support a beaker,
flasks, or other glassware
during heating and
diffuses heat therefore
safer than a direct flame

-for washing
Stirring rod

-for stirring
Reagent bottle

-intended to contain
chemicals in liquid or
powder form for
laboratories and stored in
cabinets or on shelves.
Spatula and
Scoopula

-used primarily to transfer

solids
Fume-hood

-reduces exposure
to hazardous fumes,
vapours, gases and
dusts by expelling
the air in vents
