LAB APPARATUS Flashcards
Used for stirring, mixing, and heating liquids. is a simple container for stirring, mixing and heating liquids commonly used in many laboratories
Beaker
Holds small experiments for investigation. is a common piece of laboratory glassware consisting of a finger-like length of glass or clear plastic tubing, open at the top. It Hold a small experiment, which would be used to conduct an investigation.
Test Tube
Holds chemical solutions, designed for uniform heating. can be used as a container to hold solutions of chemicals. It is designed for uniform heating and ease of swirling.
Florence Flask
Suitable for heating liquids, flat bottom, conical body, and cylindrical neck
Erlenmeyer Flask
Accurately measures liquid volume
Graduated Cylinder
Channels liquids or fine substances into containers. a pipe with a wide, often conical mouth and a narrow stem. It is used to channel liquid or fine-grained substances into containers with a small opening.
Funnel
is a 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.
Watch Glass
Evaporates solids and fluids, sometimes up to melting point. a laboratory device for evaporation of solids and supernatant fluids, and sometimes to their melting point.
Evaporating Dish
Withstands extreme temperatures and prevents heat escape, is a ceramic container capable of withstanding extreme temperatures whilst the cover is designed to prevent heat escaping from the crucible itself
Crucible and Cover
Holds chemicals in liquid or powder form.
Reagent Bottle
Combines gas with controlled air to produce a hotter flame
Bunsen Burner
Provides vertical stability and height adjustment for clamps or rings. is a piece of laboratory equipment used to hold things and is placed in an iron stand to elevate other equipment.
Iron Stand
Holds objects and elevates them using an iron stand. is a piece of laboratory equipment used to hold things and is placed in an iron stand to elevate other equipment.
Iron Clamp
Supports glassware like funnels or wire gauze for heating. that holds glassware such as a funnels or other objects, like the wire gauze or clay triangle for heating with a Bunsen burner.
Iron Ring
Holds test tubes, pipettes, or stirring rods
Test Tube Holder
Cleans the inside of test tubes and glassware
Test Tube Brush
Prevents direct contact between containers and flame
Wire Gauze
Supports glassware during experiments. is a three-legged equipment, generally used as a platform of some sort. This lab equipment is used to support and hold various flasks, beakers, and other glass were when not in use and also during experiments
Tripod
Crushes and grinds solid substances
Mortar and Pestle
Scoops small quantities of solids
Spatula
Measures Temperature
Laboratory Thermometer
Mixes chemicals and liquids
Stirring Rod
Measures small amounts of liquid. is an instrument used to measure small amount of liquids, usually in milligrams.
Medicine Dropper

Pipette
is a piece of laboratory glassware, a type of laboratory flask, used in analytical chemistry for the preparation of solutions.
Volumetric Flask
Dispenses known amounts of liquid in experiments
Burette
Measures weight using two flat platforms
Platform Balance
a lab apparatus used to separate individual substances from a mixture using centrifugal acceleration
Centrifuge
Measures mass with high precision and accuracy
Analytical Balance
is the containers used for the centrifuge.
Centrifuge Tube
used to submerge materials into hot water avoiding direct heat or fire.
Water Bath
is simply a spring fixed at one end with a hook to attach an object at the other. It balance measures the weight of an object by opposing the force of gravity with the force of an extended spring
Spring Balance
is an enclosure where that can apply extreme heat on a substance and is commonly used for melting metals.
Furnace
used for sterilizing lab equipments using the application of purely dry heat.
Dry Heat Oven
used to cover the openings of containers such as flasks and test
tubes in order to seal chemicals
Rubber Stoppers
used on substances where it applies a specific level of vibration for mixing delicate substances
Vortex Mixer
is a equipment made of ceramic that can withstand extreme heat it is used as a platform where you can heat things
CLAY TRIANGLE
a type of glassware where you can observe substances while running tests on it.
PETRI DISH

to see objects that are too small for the naked eye.
MICROSPOPE
are used to hold many different things such as flasks, crucibles, and evaporating dishes when they are hot
TONGS
is also known as an eductor- jet pump ,or a filter pump. This is a device that is able to produce a vacuum by using the venturi effect.
Aspirator
