1. Lab Equipment

2. ThermometersThermometers A thermometer is a device that measures temperature

3. Beaker A beaker is a simple container for stirring, mixing and heating liquids commonly used in many laboratories.

4. Erlenmeyer Flask Erlenmeyer flasks hold solids or liquids that may release gases during a reaction or that are likely to splatter if stirred or heated.

5. Graduated Cylinder A graduated cylinder is used to measure volumes of liquids.

6. Test Tubes Test tubes are widely used by chemists to hold, mix, or heat small quantities of solid or liquid chemicals

7. Test Tube Holder A test tube holder is useful for holding a test tube which is too hot to handle.

8. Test Tube Brushes Test tube brushes are used to clean test tubes and graduated cylinders. Forcing a large brush into a small test tube will often break the tube.

9. Test Tube Racks Test tube racks are for holding and organizing test tubes on the laboratory counter. Plastic racks may melt in contact with very hot test tubes.

10. Cell Well Plates Spot plates are used when we want to perform many small scale reactions at one time.

11. Watch Glass A watch glass is used to hold a small amount of solid, such as the product of a reaction.

12. Glass Stir Rod A glass rod is used to manually stir solutions. It can also be used to transfer a single drop of a solution.

13. Dropper Pipette Used to transfer a small volume of liquid (less than one mL). On top of each dropper is a “ rubber bulb ”

14. Forceps Forceps (or tweezers) are used to pick up small objects.

15. Funnel A funnel is used to aid in the transfer of liquid from one vessel to another.

16. Wash Bottle A wash bottle has a spout that delivers a wash solution to a specific area. Distilled water is the only liquid that should be used in a wash bottle.

17. Weighing Boat Weighing boats are used to weigh solids that will be transferred to another vessel.

18. Spatulas Spatulas are used to dispense solid chemicals from their containers.

19. Beaker Tongs Beaker tongs are used to move beakers containing hot liquids

20. Bunsen Burner Bunsen burners are used for the heating of nonvolatile liquids and solids.

21. Electronic Balance An electronic balance is a device used to find accurate measurements of weight.

22. Evaporating Dish The evaporating dish is used for the heating of stable solid compounds and elements.

23. Crucible Crucibles are used for heating certain solids, particularly metals, to very high temperatures.

24. Lab Apron (Folded)Lab Apron (Folded) Lab aprons are worn to keep from spilling chemicals on your body.

25. Clay Triangle The clay triangle is used as a support for porcelein crucibles when being heated over a Bunsen burner.

26. Mortar and PestleMortar and Pestle A mortar and pestle is a tool used to grind substances in a laboratory turning it into a fine powder.

27. Crucible Tongs For handling hot crucibles; also used to pick up other hot objects. NOT to be used for picking up beakers!

28. Ringstands and their Components Ring Stand - used to hold beakers, flasks, etc. when heating using a bunsen burner(usually have wire gauze on top of iron ring to hold glassware)

29. Ringstands and their Components Iron Rings Iron rings are commonly used in chemistry laboratories for supporting apparatus above a bunsen burner

30. Ringstands and their Components Utility Clamps Utility clamps are used to secure test tubes, distillation columns, and burets to the ringstand.

31. Ringstands and their Components Wire Gauze Wire gauze sits on the iron ring to provide a place to stand a beaker.

32. Strikers Strikers are used to light Bunsen burners.

33. Safety Glasses Goggles or Safety Glasses are protective eyewear that usually enclose or protect the area surrounding the eye in order to prevent particulates, water or chemicals from striking the eyes.
