Lab Glassware Flashcards
used for heating and sterilization, commonly
used for constriction of reagent bottles
High Thermal Resistant/Borosilicate Glass
high resistance to
alkali
Boron-free/Soft Glass/ high alkali resistant glass
special alumina-silicate glass that has
been strengthened chemically than thermally
Corex/high silica glass
poor resistance to high
temperature; used to make disposable
glassware
Flint glass/soda lime glass
used for light sensitive
reagents
Low actinic glass
Are frequently used
for preparation of standard solutions
Volumetric flask
Wide straight sided cylindrical
vessels that are available in many sizes;
used generally for mixing and for
reagent preparation
Beaker
Are often used for
preparing reagents and titration
purposes
Erlenmeyer flask
Test tubes comes in
different sizes depending on their
intended use; chemical reaction
medium
Test tube
A long and straight
sided cylindrical piece of glassware with
calibration
Graduated cylinder
Long cylindrical graduated
pipettes with stopcock (glass or Rubber);
used for titration
Biuret
delivers the exact amount it
holds into a container
Calibration mark To deliver
holds the particular volume
but does not dispense the exact volume
Calibration mark To contain
etched rings on top of the pipette;
exact volume is obtained when the last drop
is blown out
Blowout pipette
absence of etched ring; liquid
is allowed to drain by gravity
Self- draining pipette
Type of Transfer Pipette
Volumetric pipette
Pasteur pipette
Automatic pipette
for
nonviscous fluid; self draining
Volumetric pipette
transfers fluid
w/o consideration of a specific
volume
Pasteur pipette
Types of graduated pipette
Serologic pipette
Mohr pipette
w/
graduation to the tip; blowout
Serologic pipette
w/o graduation
to the tip
Mohr pipette
An instrument that uses centrifugal
force to separate solid matter from a
liquid suspension
Centrifuge
Handling Solutions
- When pouring contents from a
reagent bottle into an open-mouth
container such as a beaker, use a
stirring rod. - Remove the glass stopper from
reagent bottles by pulling it with the
use of index and middle fingers,
palm facing upward
Using the Laboratory Pipette: If a _________ portion of the liquid is to be
transferred to another container, use a
pipette or a medicine dropper
small portion
