LABORATORY GLASSWARE

Laboratory glassware refers to a variety of equipment, traditionally made of glass, used for
scientific experiments and other work in science, especially in chemistry and biology
laboratories.
There are many different kinds of laboratory glassware items. These include:
Beakers are simple cylindrical shaped containers used to hold reagents or samples.
A volumetric flask (measuring flask or graduated flask) is a piece of laboratory glassware, a
type of laboratory flask, calibrated to contain a precise volume at a particular temperature.
Bottles are containers with narrow openings generally used to store reagents or samples.
Small bottles are called vials.
An Erlenmeyer flask or conical flask is a type of laboratory flask which features a flat
bottom, a conical body, and a cylindrical neck. It is named after the German chemist Emil
Erlenmeyer, who created it in 1860.
Round-bottom flasks (also called round-bottomed flasks, Flasks, round bottom, or R B
Flasks) are types of flasks having spherical bottoms used as laboratory glassware, mostly for
chemical or biochemical work.
A Bchner flask, also known as a vacuum flask, filter flask, side-arm flask or Kitasato flask,
is a thick-walled Erlenmeyer flask with a short glass tube and hose barb protruding about an
inch from its neck.

Condensers are used to cool hot liquids or vapors.

Funnels are used to get materials through a narrow opening.

Watch glasses are shallow glass dishes used as an evaporating surface or to cover a beaker.
Graduated cylinders are cylindrical containers used for volumetric measurements.
Stirring rods are used to mix chemicals.
Burettes are used to disperse precise amounts of liquid reagents.
Microscope slides are thin strips used to hold items under a microscope. A cover slip,
coverslip or cover glass is a thin flat piece of transparent material, usually square or
rectangular, about 20 mm (4/5 in) wide and a fraction of a millimetre thick, that is placed
over objects for viewing with a microscope.

 A separatory funnel, also known as separation funnel, separating funnel, or colloquially sep
funnel, is a piece of laboratory glassware used in liquid-liquid extractions to separate
(partition) the components of a mixture into two immiscible solvent phases of different
densities[
Desiccators of glass construction are used to dry materials or keep material dry.
Glass tubes are cylindrical pieces of glassware used to hold or transport materials.
Glass pipettes are used to transport precise quantities of fluids. Mohr, backward or drain-out
pipettes have a 0 mL mark just above the end of the pipette. A volume is pulled into the
pipette, sometimes to the maximum volume, then the needed volume is aliquoted out.
Glass petri dishes are used to culture living cells.
A thermometer is a device that measures temperature.
OTHER LABORATORY MATERIAL
A crucible is a container that can withstand very high temperatures.
A propipetter or pipetter ballon is a device to avoid accidental ingestion of potentially
harmful substances.
A Bunsen burner, named after Robert Bunsen, is a common piece of laboratory equipment
that produces a single open gas flame, which is used for heating, sterilization, and
combustion.
The mortar (/mrtr/) is a bowl, typically made of hard wood, ceramic or stone. The pestle
(/psl/) is a heavy club-shaped object, the end of which is used for crushing and grinding.
