PETRI DISHES
Petri dishes are shallow, circular, flat-lidded dishes typically made of glass or plastic, used in laboratories for culturing microorganisms like bacteria and fungi. Filled with a nutrient medium (e.g., agar), they provide a controlled environment for microbial growth. Petri dishes are essential tools in microbiology, cell culture, and research involving observation of microbial colonies and growth patterns.

Cell culture plate is a flat, sterile plastic or glass plate used in laboratories to grow and study cells under controlled conditions. It contains multiple wells (like 6, 12, 24, 96, or 384) where cells are cultured in nutrient media. These plates are essential in biological research, drug testing, and tissue engineering for observing cell behavior and responses.
A hydrometer is an instrument used to measure the specific gravity (relative density) of liquids. It consists of a sealed glass tube with a weighted bottom, allowing it to float upright. The level to which it sinks indicates the liquid’s density. Hydrometers are commonly used in brewing, winemaking, and battery testing.
Centrifuge tube is a cylindrical, conical-bottomed container used in laboratories to hold samples during centrifugation. Made of plastic or glass, it is designed to withstand high-speed spinning that separates components based on density. Centrifuge tubes come in various sizes (e.g., 1.5 mL, 15 mL, 50 mL) and often have screw caps or snap lids to prevent leakage during use.
Racks are laboratory tools used to hold, organize, and store test tubes safely and upright. They are made of plastic, wood, or metal and come in various sizes to fit different tube diameters. These racks help prevent spillage, breakage, and contamination during experiments, making them essential for safe and efficient laboratory work.
A pycnometer is a laboratory device used to determine the density or specific gravity of liquids and fine solids. It is usually a small glass flask with a close-fitting stopper that has a capillary hole to allow air to escape. Pycnometers provide highly accurate measurements and are commonly used in chemistry and material science.
A desiccator is a sealed container used in laboratories to keep moisture-sensitive items dry. It contains a desiccant, such as silica gel, which absorbs humidity. Desiccators are commonly used to store samples, dry chemicals, or protect equipment from moisture, ensuring accurate experimental results and preserving sample integrity.
Boiling flasks are used for heating and boiling of liquids. The flasks are designed to have round bodies with long, thin necks to facilitate uniform heat distribution and minimize evaporation. Boiling flasks are typically made of borosilicate glass, which is resistant to thermal shock and chemicals. Some boiling flasks have rounded or conical bottoms and need support to stand upright, while others have flat bottoms and can stand alone.
Pipette tips are disposable, narrow plastic attachments used with micropipettes to accurately transfer small volumes of liquid in laboratories. They ensure precision, prevent cross-contamination, and are available in various sizes (e.g., 10 µL, 200 µL, 1000 µL). Sterile pipette tips are used in sensitive experiments like molecular biology, cell culture, and PCR.
A vacuum distillation glass set is a laboratory apparatus used to distill liquids at reduced pressure, allowing substances with high boiling points to vaporize at lower temperatures. This prevents thermal decomposition and is ideal for heat-sensitive compounds.
