equipment used to accurately measure
the volume of a liquid.

conical mouth and a narrow stem. It is
used to channel liquid or fine-grained
substances into containers with a small
opening.

- is a circular concave piece of
glass used in chemistry as a surface to
evaporate a liquid, to hold solids
while being weighed, for heating a
small amount of substance and as a
cover for a beaker.
EVAPORATING
DISH
- a laboratory device for
evaporation of solids and supernatant
fluids, and sometimes to their melting
point.
CRUCIBLE AND
COVER
- is a ceramic container
capable of withstanding extreme
temperatures, whilst the cover is
designed to prevent heat escaping
from the crucible itself.
 REAGENT
BOTTLE
- are containers made of
glass, plastic, borosilicate or related
substances, and topped by special
caps or stoppers and are intended to
contain chemicals in liquid or powder
form for laboratories and stored in
cabinets or on shelves.
 BUNSEN
BURNER
- device for combining a
flammable gas with controlled
amounts of air before ignition; it
produces a hotter flame than would
be possible using the ambient air and
gas alone.
 IRON CLAMP
- An iron clamp is a piece of
laboratory equipment used to hold
things and is placed in an iron stand
to elevate other equipment.
 IRON STAND
- A metal rod attached to a
heavy metal base. The heavy base
keeps the stand stable, and the
vertical metal rod allows for easy
height adjustment of the iron
ring/clamp.
 IRON RING
- An iron ring that holds
glassware such as a funnels or other
objects, like the wire gauze or clay
triangle for heating with a Bunsen
burner.
 TEST TUBE
HOLDER
- The test tube holder
obviously is designed to hold test
tubes. However, it can be used to hold
pipettes and stirring rods, etc. as well.
 TEST TUBE
BRUSH
- It is a device, made with
nylon bristles attached to a twisted-
wire shaft, used to knock the bottoms
out of test tubes. It is a brush that is
long and narrow to clean the inside of
the glassware.
 WIRE GAUZE
- The use of a wire gauze
in an experiment is to place under the
container holding the liquid, that is
being heated by the Bunsen burner, so
that the container doesn't have direct
contact with the flame.
 TRIPOD
- is a three-legged
equipment, generally used as a
platform of some sort. This lab
equipment is used to support and hold
various flasks, beakers and other
glass ware when not in use and also
during experiments.
 SPATULA
- is used to take and handle
small quantities of solid chemicals. It is
used like a spoon or an instrument for
scooping material out of a container.
STIRRING ROD
- a piece of laboratory
equipment used to mix chemicals and
liquids for laboratory purposes.
 MORTAR AND
PESTLE
- a tool used to crush, grind,
and mix solid substances.
 MEDICINE
DROPPER
- is an instrument used to
measure small amount of liquids,
usually in milligrams.
 TEST TUBE
RACKS
- is a convenient and necessary
piece of laboratory equipment for the
storage of test tubes.
 LABORATORY
THERMOMETER
- is a device that measures
temperature or temperature gradient
using a variety of different principles.
 MICROSPOPE
- is an instrument used
to see objects that are too small for
the naked eye.
 TRIPLE BEAM
BALANCE
- is a type of balance
commonly used in the laboratory to
determine the mass of samples.
 PIPETTE
- is a laboratory tool used to
transport a measured volume of
liquid. It is also use to extract or
deliver small amounts of liquid.
 BURETTE
- It is used to dispense known
amounts of a liquid reagent in
experiments.
 PLATFORM
BALANCE
- The platform balance is a
form of equal-arm balance in which
two flat platforms are attached to the
top side of the beam, one at each
end.
 ANALYTICAL
BALANCE
- is used to measure mass to
a high degree of precision and
accuracy.
 ASPIRATOR
- is also known as an eductor-
jet pump ,or a filter pump. This is a
device that is able to produce a
vacuum by using the venturi effect.
 TONGS
- are used to hold many
different things such as flasks,
crucibles, and evaporating dishes
when they are hot.
 VOLUMETRIC
FLASK
- is a piece of laboratory
glassware, a type of laboratory flask,
used in analytical chemistry for the
preparation of solutions.
 CENTRIFUGE
- a lab apparatus used to
separate individual substances from a
mixture using centrifugal acceleration.
CENTRIFUGE
TUBE
- is the containers used for the
centrifuge.
 SPRING
BALANCE
- is simply a spring fixed at
one end with a hook to attach an
object at the other. It balance
measures the weight of an object by
opposing the force of gravity with the
force of an extended spring
