Microbiology and parasitology

• Thermometer


  Used to measure temperature
• Pipet


  Used to measure and dispense small amounts of liquids (ex. 1 mL)
• Well plate


  Used for mixing very small amounts of chemicals together and comparing results
• Corks


  Used to seal or stop flasks or test tubes
• Hot plate


  Used for consistent heat; used to heat substances that may be flammable
• Florence flask


  Flask with a round body and flat bottom. Used to hold and heat liquids
• Ring stand


  Supports the Bunsen burner, iron ring, pipestem triangle, and other items, often while heating a substance
• Pipestem triangle


  Supports the crucible when being heated over an open flame
• Evaporating dish


  Used to evaporate excess solvents to create a more concentrated solution
• Test tubes


  Holds small amounts of liquids for mixing or heating
• Beaker


  Holding water (also used to heat liquids)
• Erlenmeyer flask


  Narrow-mouthed container used to transport, heat, or store substance. Often used when a stopper is required
• Volumetric flask


  Flask calibrated to contain a precise volume at a particular temperature. Used for precise dilutions and creating standard solutions
• Watch glass


  Keeping liquid contents in a beaker from splattering
• Mortar & Pestle


  Used to grind chemicals to powder
• Graduated cylinder


  Measuring specific amounts of liquids (65 mL)
• Spatula


  Measuring/removing small amounts of solids or powders (often when obtaining mass)
• Wash bottle


  Used to wash down specific pieces of equipment with water or keep materials moist
• Micropipets


  Used to measure and dispense very small amounts of liquids (ex. 0.5 mL)
• Buret


  Measuring specific amounts of liquids (often determining amounts of acids or bases needed) (ex. 13 mL); releasing small amounts of acids or bases into other solutions
• Dropper


  Used to obtain small amounts of liquids (not precise)
• Iron ring


  Supports a beaker over a Bunsen burner. Wire gauze is usually placed on top of this structure
• Utility clamp


  Used to hold a test tube or other piece of equipment in place on a ring stand
• Wire gauze


  Suspending glassware over the Bunsen burner
• Tongs


  Transport a hot beaker; remove lid from crucible
• Triple-beam balance


  Obtaining the mass of an object
• Test tube clamp


  Heating contents in a test tube
• Bunsen burner


  Heating (flame-safe) contents in the lab
• Forceps


  Used in dissection to grasp tissues or pick up small items
• File


  Used to grind down materials or sharpen items
• Wire brush


  Used to clean the inside of test tubes or graduated cylinders
• Test tube rack


  Holding many test tubes filled with chemicals (or for drying after washing)
• Funnel


  Used to pour liquids into containers with small openings; also used to hold filter paper
• Scoopula


  Scooping solids/powders
