 What is lab Skills and
techniques?

• Basic laboratory techniques are fundamental

procedures that are commonly used in
scientific research and experimentation.

• Laboratory skills and techniques encompass

a broad range of abilities and methodologies
used in scientific research and
experimentation within a laboratory setting.

 A. Measuring volume
1.Using a
Graduated
Cylinder
1.Using a Pipette
Use pipettes to
measure small
volumes of liquid
accurately. Pipettes
function as tiny
straws that suck up a
liquid into the
vacuum of its
internal holding
space. If you wish to
extract a very
precise, yet small,
