COMMON LABORATORY APPARATUS

• Beakers - are useful as a reaction container or to hold liquid or solid samples. They are also used to catch liquids from titrations and filtrates from filtering operations.
• Bunsen Burners - are sources of heat.
• Burets - are for addition of a precise volume of liquid. The volume of liquid added can be determined to the nearest 0.01 mL with practice.
• Clay Triangles - are placed on a ring attached to a ring stand as a support for a funnel, crucible, or evaporating dish.
• Glass Funnels - are for funneling liquids from one container to another or for filtering when equipped with filter paper.
• Graduated Cylinders - are for measurement of an amount of liquid. The volume of liquid can be estimated to the nearest 0.1 mL with practice.
• Droppers - are for addition of liquids drop by drop
• Erlenmeyer Flasks - are useful to contain reactions or to hold liquid samples. They are also useful to catch filtrates
• Brushes - serve as the cleansing apparatus of the test tubes, as they are the only things that can get fit into the narrow-mouthed test tubes and other cylindrical and narrow objects.
• Pipets - are used to dispense small quantities of liquids.
• Ring stand with Rings - are for holding pieces of glassware in place.
• Test Tubes - are for holding small samples
• Test tube holders - are for holding test tubes when tubes should not be touched
• Tongs - are similar in function to forceps but are useful for larger items.
• Volumetric Flasks - are used to measure precise volumes of liquid or to make precise dilutions.
• Wash bottles - are used for dispensing small quantities of distilled water.
• Crucible - are made up of porcelain and are used to store and heat substances when required to be heated at high temperatures since glassware are not always suitable for such high heat involving experiments..
• Spatula - These laboratory spatulas are very much similar to the kitchen like spatulas found in our home but they are just very smaller in size in comparison.
• Watch glasses - are for holding small samples or for covering beakers or evaporating dishes.
• Wire Gauze - on a ring supports beakers to be heated by Bunsen burners
