Laboratory Apparatus

• Beaker - a liquid-measuring container
• Burets - measures volume of solution
• Clay Triangle - a wire frame with porcelain used to support a crucible
• Wire Gauze - used to spread heat of a burner flame
• Test Tube - used as holder of small amount of solution
• Forceps - holds or pick up small objects
• Graduated Pipet - measures solution volumes
• Condenser - used in distillation
• Crucible - used to heat a small amount of a solid substance at a very high temperature
• Funnel - used to transfer solids and liquids without spilling
• Thermometer - measures temperature
• Balance - measures mass of material
• PH meter - measures acidity of solutions
• Centrifuge - separates materials of varying density
• Pipet - used to transfer measured small substances into another vessel
• Droppers - for addition of liquids, drop by drop
• Glass Funnels - for funneling liquids from one container to another, or for filtering when equipped with filter paper.
• Graduated Cylinders - for measurement of an amount of liquid. The volume of liquid can be estimated to the nearest 0.1 mL with practice.
• Ring Stand (with rings or clamps) - for holding pieces of glassware in place.
• Test Tubes - for holding small samples or for containing small-scale reactions
• Test Tube Holders - for holding test tubes when tubes should not be touched
• Tongs - similar function to forceps, but are useful for larger items
• Volumetric Flask - to measure precise volumes of liquid or to make precise dilutions.
• Wash Bottles - for dispensing small quantities of distilled water.
• Watch Glasses - for holding small samples or for covering beakers or evaporating dishes.
• Wire Gauze on a ring - supports beakers to be heated by Bunsen burners.
• Erlenmeyer Flask - used to heat and store liquids.
• Florence Flask - used for heating substances that need to be heated heavily. (used for distillation)
• Bottles - can be used for storage, mixing and for displaying.
• Magnifying Glass -  make objects appear larger than they are.
• Stirring Rod - manually stir solutions, assist in pouring liquids, transfer a single drop of solution.
• Ring Clamp - connect to a ringstand, provide a stable elevated platform for a beaker to be heated.
• Test Tube Rack - to hold test tube during an investigation.
• Spatula - used like a spoon or instrument for scooping material out of a container.
• Safety Goggles - to protect your eyes against burns or cuts. 
• Mortar and Pestle - used to crush solids into powder.
• Petri Dish - used especially for cultures of bacteriology.
• Test Tube Brush - to clean inside of test tubes.
• Stopper - used to close containers to avoid spillage or contamination.
• Paper Towel - essential to lab; used in almost every lab.
• Well Plates - used when we want to perform many small scale reactions at one time.
• Beam Balance - balance of great precision used in quantitative chemical analysis.
• Triple Beam Balance - to measure mass (weight) of substances or objects.
• Bunsen Burner - source of heat
• Evaporating Dish - used for heating stable solid compounds and elements.
• Lighter - used to light lab burners.
• Microscope - used for making enlarged images of minute objects.
• Cover Slip - used to cover a specimen (or sample) on a slide.
• Litmus Paper - used to determine whether a liquid is an acid or a base.
• Slide - to hold a specimen (sample) for viewing through a microscope.
