        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
