Lab apparatus

1. Beaker is usually used as containers for mixing various liquids or measuring devices.
Flasks are all containers or vessels, usually designed to carry a liquid and often made of glass. The software
includes flat bottomed flask, circle bottomed flask, conical flask, pear-shaped flask and suck in flask.
Test Tube is usually used to hold the substance in place and that u can observe reactions taking place.
Measuring Cylinder is used to measure the volume solutions, liquids or water.
Acid Burette and Alkaline Burette are simultaneously occupied by the presence of a liquid measuring and
transferring this derailment.
Condenser is used to cool hot vapors or liquids. A condenser usually consists of a large glass tube containing a
smaller glass tube running its entire length, within which the hot fluids pass.
Kipp's Apparatus is a laboratory apparatus for producing gas by the action of a liquid on a solid without heating.
Separator Funnel is used to separate the components of a mixture between two immiscible solvent phases of
different densities.

2. A funnel is used to transfer liquid or fine-grained substances into containers with a small opening without a spillage.
Desiccators is a short glass jar fitted with an air-tight cover, containing some desiccating agent such as sulphuric
acid or calcium chloride, above which the material is suspended to be dried, or preserved frommoisture.
Crucible is used to hold small amounts of chemicals during heating at high temperatures.

Alcohol Burner is used to provide a hot, consistent flame for lab experiments or for heating something in a science
project.
Pipet
A pipet transfers relatively small amounts of liquid. In the most commonly used pipettes, experimenters
draw liquid into one end of a glass or plastic cylinder by the prior squeezing of the rubber or plastic ball at
the opposite end. The amount of liquid able to be drawn into the pipette is usually fixed, to enable
accuracy in measurement.
Graduated Cylinder
A graduated cylinder is a relatively slim glass or plastic cylinder used specifically for calibrating beakers or
measuring a liquid's volume. Graduated cylinders come in a variety of sizes such as 10 ml, 25 ml, 50 ml,
100 ml, 500 ml and 1,000 ml. Scientists take measurements by viewing, at eye-level, the lowest point of
the convexdip that the liquid in the cylinder makes.
Evaporating Dish
An evaporating dish is a glazed porcelain vessel used to heat and consequently evaporate liquids. In this
wayexperiments can increase a liquid's concentration. The dish is relatively shallow and features a lipto
facilitate pouring the liquids.
Balances
Another common apparatus found in laboratories is the balance. A balance determines the mass of
something, such as a dry chemical. While balances once used two flat trays--one to hold the material and
the other to hold weights--electronic balances represent the norm in most laboratories.
Microscopes
A compound microscope allows the user to view specimens too small for the human eye to discern.
Slides hold the specimen and often come prepared and stained ahead of time. Slide preparation can also
occur at the time of viewing. Items commonly observed with compound microscopes include plant or
animalcells and bacteria. According to Meiji Techno, a microscope manufacturing company, some
compound microscopes can also magnify inorganic materials.
Beakers
A beaker is a cylindrical glass or plastic vessel used for holding liquids. It is a multi-purpose piece of
equipment used for containing a chemical reaction, measuring liquids, heating them over a Bunsen
burner's flame or collecting them in a titration experiment.
Bunsen Burners
A Bunsen burner provides concentrated and adjustable heat for experiments. A tube connects the burner
to the laboratory gas supply. When the Bunsen burner is lit, the flame can beadjusted using the air hole.
Closing the air hole produces an easily visible, luminous flame is produced that is not good for heating. It
should be opened when the Bunsen burner is used to heat chemicals.
Burets are for addition of a precise volume of liquid. The volumeof liquid added can be
determined to the nearest 0.01 mL withpractice.
Clay Triangles are placed on a ring attached to a ring stand as asupport for a funnel,
crucible, or evaporating dish.
Droppers are for addition of liquids drop by drop
Erlenmeyer Flasks are useful to contain reactions or tohold liquid samples. They are
also useful to catch filtrates.
Hot Plates can also be used as sources of heat when anopen flame is not desirable.
Ring stand with Rings are for holding pieces ofglassware in place.
Test tube holders are for holding test tubes when tubesshould not be touched
Tongs are similar in function to forceps but are useful forlarger items.
Wire Gauze on a ring supports beakers to be heated byBunsen burners
Balances are used to determine the mass of areagent or object.
