The document outlines the necessary requirements and equipment for water quality laboratories, emphasizing the importance of proper signage, equipment calibration, and in-house expertise for accreditation. It includes a detailed inventory of lab instruments, chemical handling safety measures, and layout considerations for effective laboratory management. Additionally, it presents recommendations for waste segregation, maintenance of equipment, and the establishment of a lab inventory system.

Conical flask Cap. 100 ml
250 ml, 500 ml, 1000 ml

10. • 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.
Beakers, Cap. 100 ml
250 ml, 500 ml, 1 lt., 2 lt

11. • chemical laboratories to move
liquids with a small volume, and it is
a measuring tool for transferring
liquid from the original container to
another container within a certain
range
Pipette ,Cap. 5 ml
10 ml, 20 ml, 25 ml
50 ml, 100 ml

12. • A graduated pipette is a pipette
with its volume, in increments,
marked along the tube. It is used to
accurately measure and transfer a
volume of liquid from one container
to another. It is made from plastic or
glass tubes and has a tapered tip.
Pipette (Graduated) Cap. 1 ml
5 ml, 10 ml, 20 ml

13. • A burette is used
to dispense small volumes of
liquid called aliquots, or
sometimes gas, with high
accuracy. It consists of a long
glass tube with a valve at one
end to control the flow of
liquid. Burette (ordinary), 25 ml, 50 ml, 100 ml

14. Desiccators to be placed near oven
A desiccator is an air-tight
enclosure that can be used in
two methods. The first method is
to remove moisture inside the
desiccator to prevent moisture
from damaging moisture

15. Reagent Bottles, 100 ml, 250 ml, 500 ml

• he round bottoms on these
types of flasks allow more
uniform heating and/or boiling
of liquid.

20. • Measuring cylinders
