Test tubes are widely used by

chemistry to hold, mix, or heat


small quantities of solid or liquid
chemicals, especially for
qualitative experiments and
assays. Their round bottom and
straight sides minimize mass loss
when pouring, make them
easier to clean, and allow
convenient monitoring of the
contents. The long, narrow neck
slows down the spreading of
vapors and gases to the
environment.
used to measure, mix or store liquids. It is
mostly made of borosilicate glass and
can also be used as fermentation
vessels by home brewers or
microbiologists.
used to evaporate excess water - or
other solvents - to ensure that a
concentrated solution or the dissolved
substance is left behind.
A beaker is a simple container for
stirring, mixing and heating liquids
commonly used in many
laboratories. Beakers are generally
cylindrical in shape, with a flat
bottom. Most also have a small
spout (or "beak") to aid pouring as
shown in the picture. Beakers are
available in a wide range of sizes,
from one milliliter up to several
liters.
used to evaporate excess
water - or other solvents - to
ensure that a concentrated
solution or the dissolved
substance is left behind.
Thermometer is a device that
measures temperature or
temperature gradient using a
variety of different principles.
A hot plate is an adjustable heating
source which is ideal for heating
beakers, Erlenmeyer flasks, hot water
baths, and other flat-bottomed
containers. It is essentially an electric
stove top that is used in the laboratory.
used for measuring the pH (acidity or
alkalinity) of a liquid (though special
probes are sometimes used to
measure the pH of semi-solid
substances).
A graduated cylinder,
measuring cylinder or mixing
cylinder is a piece of
laboratory equipment used
to measure the volume of a
liquid.
spring balance is used to measure
the weight possessed by an object.
Is to measure precisely the mass of
an object. Mostly, this is used to
weight small objects like gem
stones. The reading is done by
moving the sliders (100 grams and
10 grams) along the beam after
placing the object on its pan.
Used in chemistry as a
surface to evaporate a
liquid, to hold solids while
being weighed, or as a
cover for a beaker. The latter
use is generally applied to
prevent dust or other
particles entering the
beaker; the watch glass
does not completely seal the
beaker, and so gas
exchanges still occur.
Filter paper is used to separate a
liquid from a solid. It is used for
filtration as it allows liquid to pass
through, but leaves the solid at
the top separating them from
each other.
used for measuring the pH of a liquid.
The pH is a measurement of how
acidic/basic a liquid is. Red/Blue
litmus paper contains a compound
that changes colors at a certain pH.
There are a variety of different litmus
papers you can buy which each
change colors at a specific pH
The tripod is used in a
laboratory to support various
laboratory glassware, ceramic
ware, equipment's, etc.
used to rinse various pieces of
laboratory glassware, such as
test tubes and round bottom
flasks.
Function is to hold test tubes during
various experiments. Some
experiments entail heating
chemicals and you cannot hold the
test tube with your bare hands.
A test tube brush is used to clean
out the bottom of a test tube. It
made with a long twisted shaft and
nylon bristles. It slides easily into the
test tube to clean out any debris.
used to transport a beaker without
having to have the beaker come in
contact with the hands this is to
prevent possible burns from heated
beaker and also to prevent possible
injuries by dangerous chemicals being
spelt on hands from beaker
To pick up small items like you
would with tweezers
Used to measure small amounts
of liquid
used in a laboratory to transport
and/or measure a specific volume
of liquid.
It heat ups specimen and with
the use of the wire gauze it
heats the entire beaker or test
tube.

The function of a Bunsen burner
is to heat substances. The burner
can be regulated by changing
the air and gas mixture.
They are used for pounding and
grinding solid substances to
make them into smaller particles
for ease of handling etc.


For thermal retention for storing
test tubes, microcentrifuge
tubes, & specimens
Allows convenient storage or
use for crystallization

Used to culture cells
Establish a vacuum or a
controlled atmosphere in
experiments

Desiccators are things we use to
get moisture out of the air. They
are used to keep things dry in
closed packaging to preserve the
packaged item(s).
Used to store liquid substances &
chemicals.

Bottle that employs suction.
Used for iodine sublimation

Holds chemical Solutions
Supports a container while
heating .

It is where the alcohol lamp is
placed.
Used for chemical storage

Used for dispensing various
liquids

Used to enlarge the image to
view small objects such as cells
of organisms that cannot be
seen by the naked eye.

Used to sterilize objects by heat
& Pressure.
