Bunsen Burner

a small adjustable gas burner used in laboratories

Pipestem Triangle

used to support a crucible or other object being heated by a Bunsen burner or other heat source

Evaporating Dish

a small ceramic dish in which liquids are heated over a flame so that they evaporate, leaving a solid residue

Test Tube

a thin glass tube closed at one end, used to hold small amounts of material for laboratory testing or experiments

Beaker

a lipped cylindrical glass container for laboratory use

Gas bottle

Used to store gas from experiment

Ring Stand

a piece of laboratory equipment consisting of a heavy base, a vertical rod, and a clamp or ring for holding various lab apparatus

Utility Clamp

lab tool with adjustable metal jaws used to securely hold glassware, like flasks or test tubes, to a stand during experiments

Iron Ring

comprised of a metal ring-like loop, used to hold various lab equipment, that usually cannot be placed on flat surfaces

Mortar and Pestle

a tool used for grinding, crushing, and mixing solid or semi-solid materials

Crucible and Cover

Crucible → heat-resistant container used to hold materials during high-temperature processes like melting or heating chemicals

Cover → used to protect the contents of the crucible from contamination by the surrounding environment during heating

Erlenmeyer Flask

a conical flat-bottomed laboratory flask with a narrow neck

Wire Gauze

sheet of metallic wire mesh with a fireproof fabric (e.g., ceramic) woven in the center, used to support beakers or other flasks when heated with an open flame

Safety Googles

a type of personal protective equipment (PPE) designed to protect the eyes from hazards such as flying debris, dust, splashes, and impacts

Corks

Corks are commonly used in laboratories as stoppers for test tubes and flasks, forming a tight seal due to their elasticity and low permeability

Watch Glass

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

Tongs

often made of metal, used for grasping and lifting objects, particularly those that are hot or potentially hazardous, instead of handling them directly with hands

Balance

sensitive instrument used to measure the mass of a substance or object with a high degree of accuracy and precision

Lab Burner

used to heat samples with high or low heat, for sterilization, to bend glass tubing or rods, or for other purposes

Test tube holder/clamps

used to securely hold a test tube, especially when heating or handling potentially dangerous materials

Buret/Volumetric Pipette

a graduated glass tube with a tap at one end, for delivering known volumes of a liquid → high accuracy due to small increments

Pipette

a slender tube attached to or incorporating a bulb, for transferring or measuring out small quantities of liquid, especially in a laboratory

Thermometer

an instrument for measuring and indicating temperature

Graduated Cylinder

a piece of laboratory glassware, typically cylindrical in shape, used to accurately measure the volume of liquids

Wash Bottle

a squeeze bottle with a nozzle, used to rinse various pieces of laboratory glassware, such as test tubes and round bottom flasks

a flat plate with multiple small wells used as miniature test tubes in chemistry, biology, and pharmaceutical research

Scoopula

a tool used for transferring and handling small amounts of solid materials, particularly in laboratory settings

Spatula

a tool used in scientific settings for tasks like scraping, transferring, or applying powders, pastes, and other materials

Funnel

a tube or pipe that is wide at the top and narrow at the bottom, used for guiding liquid or powder into a small opening

Test-tube rack

a laboratory equipment used to hold test tubes upright, typically in a vertical position, to prevent them from tipping over and spilling their contents
