Below is a list of the most common laboratory equipments and their uses:
• Balance- it is used to measure the mass of a material
• Barrette- it measures the volume of the solution
• Beaker- it is a container used to measure liquid
• Bunsen burner- it churns out single open gas flame which is commonly used for heating, combustion and heating.
• Centrifuge- it is used to separate materials of uneven density
• Clay Triangle- it is made of wire frame with porcelain which supports a crucible.
• Condenser- It is used for distillation
• Crucible- it is used to heat a minute amount of solid substance at a very high temperature
• Dropper- it is used for adding solution or liquid drop by drop
• Erlenmeyer flask- it is also known as a conical flask and is used for mixing contents. It can also be used for heating liquid and the preparation of various microbial cultures.
• Filter paper- it is commonly used to separate liquid and the precipitate
• Forceps- it is used to hold and pick small objects
• Graduated cylinder- it is used to measure the volume of liquids
• Graduated Pipette- it is uses to measure the volume of solutions
• Magnifying glass- it is used to magnify small objects
• Microscope- it is used to view minuscule objects which are so small to the naked eye
• Multimeter- is used to measure voltage, current and resistance.
• PH Scale- it measures the acidity or basicity of a solution
• Pipette- it is used to transfer one substance to another container
• Stirring rod- it is used to mix liquids and solution by stirring.
• Test tube brush- it cleans the test tube
• Test tube holders- it holds the test tubes in place
• Test tubes- it is used for storing small amount of liquids and samples, and for small scale reaction experiments
• Thermometer- it measures the temperature
• Tongs- it is similar to forceps, but it holds a larger object
• Tripod- it is used to support the wire gauze during the heating process
• Volumetric flasks- it measures the volume of liquid and make accurate dilutions
• Wash bottles- it dispenses small amount of distilled water
• Watch glasses- it holds small samples and it is also used to cover beaker and evaporating dishes.
• Wire gauze- it is used to spread the heat of the burner
