CHEM LAB APPARATUS

Alcohol Lamp

Produces a small, controlled flame for heating substances.

Amber Bottle

Stores light-sensitive chemicals while protecting them from light.

Analytical Balance

Measures the mass of substances with very high precision.

Beaker

Holds, mixes, and heats liquids but is not intended for precise volume measurement.

Bomb Calorimeter

Measures the heat released by a substance during combustion.

Bunsen Burner

Produces an adjustable gas flame for heating substances.

Burette

Dispenses and measures precise, variable volumes of liquid, especially during titration.

Clay Triangle

Supports a crucible while it is being heated over a flame.

Cork Borer

Cuts clean holes in corks for inserting tubes or other apparatus.

Crucible Tong

Safely grips and transfers hot crucibles and their covers.

Crucible with Cover

Holds solid substances for heating at very high temperatures.

Deflagrating Spoon

Holds small amounts of substances while they are burned or heated in a flame.

Distilling Flask

Holds a liquid mixture during distillation and directs vapor toward the condenser.

Double Burette Clamp

Secures two burettes vertically to a support stand.

Dropper

Transfers small amounts of liquid, usually one drop at a time.

Erlenmeyer Flask

Holds, mixes, and heats liquids while its narrow neck helps prevent splashing.

Evaporating Dish

Heats a solution to evaporate its solvent and leave the dissolved substance behind.

Florence Flask

Holds and heats liquids, particularly during boiling or other heating processes.

Fume Hood

Removes hazardous chemical fumes and vapors from the working area.

Glass Funnel

Directs liquids into narrow containers and can hold filter paper for filtration.

Graduated Cylinder

Measures liquid volume more accurately than a beaker or flask.

Hot Plate

Provides controlled, flameless heat for heating substances.

Iron Clamp

Holds laboratory apparatus securely in place on a support stand.

Iron Ring

Supports containers or wire gauze above a heat source.

Iron Stand

Provides a stable support for clamps, rings, and other laboratory apparatus.

Mortar & Pestle

Crushes and grinds solid substances into smaller pieces or fine powder.

Pipette

Transfers a measured amount of liquid with greater accuracy than a dropper.

Pipette Bulb

Creates suction to safely draw liquid into a pipette without using the mouth.

Reagent Bottles

Store and protect chemicals or prepared solutions for laboratory use.

Rubber Rings

Provide a flexible seal or support between laboratory apparatus and surfaces.

Safety Goggles

Protect the eyes from chemical splashes, particles, and other laboratory hazards.

Separatory Funnel

Separates immiscible liquids based on differences in density.

Spatula

Transfers small amounts of solid chemicals or powders.

Spot Plate

Holds small quantities of substances for carrying out several small-scale reactions at once.

Stirring Rod

Stirs liquids and helps guide liquids during pouring or decanting.

Stopper

Seals test tubes, flasks, and other containers to prevent spills or contamination.

Test Tube

Holds small quantities of substances for reactions, observation, or heating.

Test Tube Brush

Cleans the inside of test tubes and other narrow laboratory glassware.

Test Tube Holder

Holds a test tube safely, especially while it is being heated.

Test Tube Rack

Holds test tubes upright for storage, organization, or drying.

Thermometer

Measures the temperature of substances or the surrounding environment.

Thistle Tube

Allows liquids to be added to a reaction vessel while maintaining a closed system.

Triple Beam Balance

Measures the mass of an object using adjustable beams and riders.

Tripod

Supports laboratory containers above a heat source, usually with wire gauze.

Volumetric Flask

Prepares and contains a solution at one exact volume with high accuracy.

Volumetric Pipette

Transfers one specific, highly accurate volume of liquid.

Wash Bottle

Dispenses distilled water or another liquid for rinsing laboratory equipment.

Watch Glass

Holds small samples, covers containers, or allows small amounts of liquid to evaporate.

Wing Top

Controls and directs the flame of a Bunsen burner to provide a broad heating area.

Wire Gauze

Supports glassware above a flame and distributes heat more evenly.
