Complete List of Glassware used in a School Lab

In a school lab, various types of glassware are commonly used for different scientific experiments and measurements. Below is a list of some commonly used glassware in a school laboratory:

1. Beakers

Used for holding, mixing, and heating liquids.

2. Erlenmeyer Flasks

Similar to a beaker, but with a conical shape and a narrow neck. Used for swirling liquids and titrations.

3. Test Tubes

Small, cylindrical tubes used for holding small amounts of liquids or conducting small-scale experiments.

4. Graduated Cylinders

Tall, narrow cylinders with calibrated markings used for accurate measurements of liquid volumes.

5. Pipettes

Used for transferring small volumes of liquids. They come in various sizes, such as micropipettes and volumetric pipettes.

6. Burettes

A long, graduated tube with a stopcock at the bottom. Used for precise dispensing of liquids during titrations.

7. Petri Dishes

Shallow, circular glass or plastic dishes with covers. Used for culturing microorganisms or observing small specimens.

8. Watch Glasses

Concave glass dish with a slight lip. Used as a cover for beakers or for evaporating small amounts of liquid.

9. Funnels

Used for pouring liquids or transferring substances into containers with smaller openings.

10. Conical Flasks

Also known as a filtering flask, it has a conical shape with a narrow neck. Used for filtration and vacuum experiments.

11. Mortar and Pestle

Used for grinding and pulverizing solid substances into finer powders.

12. Glass Stirring Rods

Long, thin glass rod used for stirring liquids or manipulating solid substances.

13. Dropper Bottles

Small glass bottle with a built-in dropper. Used for dispensing small quantities of liquid reagents.

14. Glass Slides

Thin, flat piece of glass used for mounting and observing specimens under a microscope.

15. Cover Slips

Small, thin piece of glass used to cover specimens on a microscope slide.

16. Centrifuge Tubes

Small, cylindrical tube with a conical bottom used for separating substances through centrifugation.

17. Distillation Apparatus

Consists of a distilling flask, condenser, and collection flask. Used for separating mixtures based on boiling points.

18. Desiccator

A sealed container with a drying agent (such as silica gel) used to store substances in a dry environment.
