Test tube holder is an easy way to organize test
tubes and prevent the test tubes from falling and
breaking. It provides a safe way for you to store test
tubes, especially when they are being used for
ongoing experiments. It used to hold test tubes. It is
used for holding a test tube in place when the tube is
hot or should not be touch.
Test tubes are widely used by chemists to
handle chemicals, especially for qualitative
experiments and assays.
Test tube racks used to hold upright multiple test
tubes at the same time. They are most commonly used
when various different solutions are needed to work with
simultaneously, for reasons, for safe storage of test
tubes, and to ease the transport of multiple tubes.
Evaporating Dishes are glassware containers
used for laboratory testing. They are used for the
evaporation of liquids and solutions to produce a solid
substance or concentrated solutions. Dishes have a
shallow flat round surface to promote evaporation.
A test tube brush or spout brush is
a brush used for cleaning test tubes
and narrow mouth laboratory
glassware, such as graduated
cylinders, burettes, and Erlenmeyer
flasks.
Spatulas are used to transport
and distribute dry chemical
compounds. Spatulas are used
most often when weighing out
chemicals on a balance because
they allow you to collect very small
quantities of the chemical at a
time.
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
Distilling flasks, also known as
distillation flasks, are types oflaboratory
flask forming part of larger distillation
assemblies used for the separation
and/or purification of liquids or liquid
mixtures where the components have
different boiling points.
Watch glasses are circular, slightly-concave
pieces of glass that are used by chemists to
evaporate liquids and cover beakers during
sample preparation. They are also used to hold
solids during weighing.
A laboratory tripod is a three-legged platform
used to support flasks and beakers. Tripods are
usually made of stainless steel or aluminium and made
light-weight for efficient portability within the lab. Often a
wire gauze is placed on top of the tripod to provide a flat
base for glassware.
Beakers are useful as a reaction container or to hold
liquid or solid samples. They are also used to catch
liquids from titrations and filtrates from filtering operatio
Erlenmeyer flasks are used to contain liquids and
for mixing, heating, cooling, incubation, filtration,
storage, and other liquid-handling processes.
An alcohol lamp is used for heating,
sterilization,
and
combustion in
a
laboratory. The alcohol lamp uses ethyl
alcohol or spirit as a fuel. It is generally made
up of glass, brass or aluminum.
Bunsen burner It is used to heat
substances, to combust substances, and
to sterilize objects on high heat.
A graduated cylinder, also known
as a measuring cylinder or mixing
cylinder, is a common piece of
laboratory equipment used to
measure the volume of a liquid
Wire gauze is an important piece of
supporting equipment in a laboratory as
glassware cannot be heated directly with
the flame of a Bunsen burner, and requires
the use of a wire gauze to diffuse the heat,
helping to protect the glassware.
Volumetric flasks are used for accurate
dilutions and preparation of solutions and any
other liquids needed at the laboratory workflow.
Pasteur pipette or simply dropper, is a device
used to transfer small quantities of liquids. They
are used in the laboratory and also to dispense small
amounts of liquid medicines.
Iron ring is used to support flasks or funnels
upright in a stand. This is to enable the stability of
the flask or funnel while testing is being performed.
A ring stand is used to provide support for other
equipment and a means of raising equipment above
the work surface.
Iron stand supports the iron ring when heating
substances or mixtures in a flask or beaker
An iron clamp is a piece of laboratory
equipment used to hold things and is
placed in an iron stand to elevate other
equipment.
A condenser is a piece of laboratory
equipment that is used to condense
vapours in the lab or turn them into
liquids simply by cooling them down.
clay triangle
is a piece of laboratory apparatus that is
used to support a crucible being heated
by a Bunsen burner or other heat source.
It is made of wires strung in an equilateral
triangle on which are strung hollow ceramic,
normally fire clay, usually supported on a
tripod or iron ring.
A triangular file is used in the
chemistry lab to score glass tubing to
create clean breaks in the glass.
Separatory funnels are used in the lab for liquidliquid extractions, separating a mixture's
components into two solvent phases of different
densities. The higher density liquid sinks to the
bottom and can then be drained from a valve, leaving
the less dense liquid in the funnel.
A stirring rod is used for mixing liquids, or solids
and liquids. Stir rods are used as part of proper
laboratory technique when decanting supernatants
because the contact helps to negate the adhesion
between the side of the glassware and the
supernatant that is responsible for the liquid running
down the side.
Rubber stoppers are ideal for plugging joints
or holes in laboratory glassware and
creating a liquid-tight seal. Rubber bungs
are often used with glass containers such as
test tubes, flasks, jugs, and many other
pieces of standard lab equipment.
It is used as a container to hold
liquids. A Florence flask has a
round body, a long neck, and often a
flat bottom. It is designed for uniform
heating, boiling, distillation and ease
of swirling; it is produced in a number
of different glass thicknesses to stand
different types of use.
Crucible tongs are welded steel
mortar and pestle chemistry sets to crush up
solid chemicals into smaller pieces, or to grind
solids into fine powder.
melting and heating. A crucible with cover is a type
of laboratory glassware designed to melt or burn solid
chemicals over a burner. Made from heat-resistant
ceramic or metal, they'll withstand high temperatures up
to 1050° Fahrenheit.
tools used to lift a hot crucible from
a furnace or for other items which
cannot be handled with bare
hands. also be used to prevent any
inaccuracies.
Funnels and filtration products are
familiar items in the laboratory used
for filtering, filling, decanting or
transferring liquids or powders
from one vessel to another.
Laboratory funnels are made from
glass, plastic (typically HDPE) or
occasionally metal.
