Graduated cylinders are used to measure the volume of liquids. They provide more accurate measurements than beakers or flasks.

Erlenmeyer flasks are used for pouring solutions and may be closed with a stopper in order to store samples. The tapered shape also allows for easy mixing by swirling.

A beaker is a simple container for stirring, mixing and heating liquids commonly used in many laboratories.

A burette dispenses known volumes of a liquid reagent very precisely and is commonly used in titrations to measure reactant amounts.

Pipettes are used to transport a measured volume of liquid. They are more accurate than beakers and graduated cylinders.

A test tube is a common piece of lab glassware that holds small amounts of substances, which are often heated with a Bunsen burner.

A Bunsen burner is a common piece of laboratory equipment that produces a single open gas flame. It's used for heating, sterilization, and combustion.

Fume hoods are used to ventilate noxious or harmful vapors away from laboratory personnel and to provide a safe working environment.

A magnetic stirrer uses a rotating magnetic field to stir fluids without the need for a stirring stick, ensuring the mixture is homogeneous.

Centrifuges are used to separate substances dense from less dense substances or liquids from solids, in a suspension by spinning a sample at high speed.

Volumetric flasks are used to prepare solutions of precise volumes. They are calibrated to contain a precise volume at a particular temperature.

pH meters measure the hydrogen-ion activity in water-based solutions, indicating its acidity or alkalinity expressed as pH.

A hot plate is an electronically heated plate used for heating solutions and mixtures in the laboratory.

Desiccators are sealed containers used to keep moisture-sensitive products dry. They often contain desiccants like silica gel.

Refractometers measure the extent to which light changes direction, i.e., refracts, when passing through a liquid sample, indicating the sample's purity or concentration.

Laboratory incubators provide controlled, contaminant-free environments for safe, reliable work with cell and tissue cultures by regulating conditions such as temperature, humidity, and CO2.

Titrators are used for automated titration. They allow for the determination of a substance's concentration in a solution by controlled addition of a reagent of known concentration.

Oil baths are used to provide even heating and temperature stability for substances that need to be heated at controlled temperatures.

An autoclave sterilizes equipment and supplies using high-pressure saturated steam by killing bacteria, viruses, fungi, and spores.

Flocculators are used to mix water samples with chemicals that cause the dissolved particles to coagulate into larger particles that can then be removed.

Microscopes are instruments used to see objects that are too small for the naked eye. They're key for examining the micro-structures of substances and cells.

Laboratory jacks are height-adjustable platforms used to lift and support equipment such as flasks, water baths, or stirrers to a desired height.

Spectrophotometers measure the amount of light absorbed by a sample material. They are used to determine the concentration of a known solute in a solution based on light absorption.

Chromatography columns are used in column chromatography, a technique for separating chemical compounds by passing a mixture dissolved in a mobile phase through a stationary phase.

Rotary evaporators are used to remove solvents from samples by evaporation. They gently and efficiently evaporate solvents from dense and complex mixtures.

Cryostats are used to maintain low cryogenic temperatures of samples or devices that must be studied at very low temperatures.

Distillation apparatus are used for purifying liquids through distillation, which involves heating a liquid to create vapor and then cooling the vapor to create a purified liquid.

A balance is used for measuring the mass of an object or substance in a laboratory setting to a high degree of precision.
