Glassware
Beaker - A flat-bottomed, cylindrical container, often displaying volume measurements on the side. Used for heating, mixing and stirring liquids.
Burette - A long tube, with volumetric markings on the wall of the cylinder and a tap at the base, used for dispensing precise measurements of fluid.
Cuvette - A small tube of circular or square cross section, designed to secure samples for spectroscopic experiments, it is closed at one end of the tube.
Flasks - There are many different types, shapes and sizes of flask but in general a flask is a large bodied container tapering off to a thin bottle neck, used to hold, heat, mix and measure volumes of liquid.
Gas Syringe - An inner glass chamber within a glass holding barrel, the syringe is used to measure resultant gaseous products from a chemical reaction.
Glass Tubes - Again tubes, like flask comes in all shapes and sizes for a variety of different uses, such as storage or transportation of liquids.
Graduated Cylinder - A large thin measuring chamber, which allows more accurate measurements than generally achieved with a beaker.
Petri Dish - A shallow circular glass container with a lid, used to culture cells.
Pipette - This is a measuring instrument which comes in various sizes, for a variety of uses. Similar in concept to a burette a pipette is able to measure and dispense liquids to precision accuracy.
Soxhlet Extractor - Initially designed to extract lipid molecules, this mad-scientist looking glass ware instrument can also be used to extract solvents.
Watch Glass - So called because the convex-concave structure is similar to the surface of old pocket watches, this versatile dish can be used as an evaporation or weighing surface, and is also commonly used as a beaker lid.
Instruments - Here is a list of laboratory instruments that can be researched, as there is too much detail to be able to go into here:
