Lab Equipment Flashcards
Solidified agar at an angle to get a flat inoculating surface, used to store bacteria cultures
Agar slant tube
A Petri dish filled with a jello-like nutrient material used to grow bacteria upon
Agar Plate
A device for heating substances above their boiling point
Autoclave
may be made for any volume and is equipped with a plunger that controls the delivery of fluid
Automatic pipet
cylindrical glass container with a pouring lip, used especially in laboratories
Beaker
Plastic or Glass container used to store liquid or gas for an experiment
Bottle
curving in or hollowed inward microscope slide
Concave microscope slide
disposable object used to transfer small volumes of liquid
Disposable pipet
used to heat and store liquids advantage is that the bottom is wider than the top so it will heat quicker because of the greater surface area exposed to the heat
Erlenmeyer flask
used for heating substanes that need to be heated evenly. bulbous bottom allows the heat to distribute through the liquid more evenly. mostly used in distillation experiments
Florence Flask
an extractor consisting of a pair of pincers used in medical treatment (especially for the delivery of babies)
Forceps
a conically shaped utensil having a narrow tube at the small end
Funnel
handwear: covers the hand and wrist
Gloves
thin, cylindrical container used to measure and pour exact amounts of a liquid
Graduated cylinder
glass; common sizes are 10mL, 25mL; used to measure solution in volumes; less accurate than a volumetric pipet.
Graduated pipet
in the science laboratory, usually a large beaker of water heated on a hot plate; used to heat test tubes that contain a flammable liquid such as alcohol
Hot water bath
a lab tool used to heat substances
Hot plate
apparatus consisting of a box designed to maintain a constant temperature by the use of a thermostat
Incubator
instrument used to pick up and transfer bacteria
Inoculating loop
The tool used to find mass
Laboratory balance
contained, controlled area designed to produce laminar columns of sterile, pyrogen-free air as a sterile environment for aseptic production of parenteral products.
Laminar hood flow
used to tranfer small amounts of liquid; medicine
Medicine dropper
an instrument used to measure very tiny volumes, usually less than a milliliter
Micropipet
tips of micropipets
Micropipet tips
which microscope has only one ocular lens
Monocular microscope
Dries laboratory glassware
Peg rack
a shallow, circular, glass or plastic dish with a loose-fitting cover over the top and sides, used for culturing bacteria and other microorganisms
Petri dish
holds up to 2 ml.
Pipet pump, blue
Holds up to 10mL
Pipet pump, green
rubber bulb used to suck stuff up the pipet, fill it up easily
Pipetting bulbs
accurately fills and dispenses liquids from pipette
Pipetting device
Eye protection to protect eyes from the impact of foreign objects.
Safety glasses
a thin straight surgical knife used in dissection and surgery
Scalpel
to stir combinations of materials and to use in pouring liquids
Stirring rod
cleaning implement consisting of absorbent material fastened to a handle
Swab
a tube of thin, transparent glass that is closed at one end, used in chemical experiments
Test tube
used to hold test tubes
Test tube rack
Plastic, qualitative pipet that is used to dispense chemicals; often used in place of a dropper
Transfer pipet
An instrument used to measure temperature
Thermometer
used to make solutions of known concentration, accurate liq. vol. measurement
Volumetric flask
glass; common sizes are 10 mL, 25 mL; used to measure solution volumes accurately; must not be heated.
Volumetric pipet
an apparatus that uses centrifugal force to separate particles from a suspension
Centrifuge
