BEAKER
Beaker is a common laboratory container used for mixing, stirring, and heating chemicals. It is usually made of glass or plastic and has a cylindrical shape with a flat bottom and a small spout for easy pouring. Beakers come in various sizes and have volume markings, but they are not used for precise measurements.

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.
Conical flask, also known as an Erlenmeyer flask, is a laboratory container with a conical body, flat bottom, and a narrow neck. It is used for mixing, heating, and storing liquids. The narrow neck helps reduce spillage and allows for use with stoppers. It is ideal for titrations, as it can be easily swirled without risk of spilling.
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.
Polypropylene reagent bottles are durable, chemical-resistant containers commonly used in laboratories for storing and dispensing liquid or powdered chemicals. Made from high-quality polypropylene plastic, these bottles offer excellent resistance to a wide range of acids, bases, and solvents, making them ideal for both general-purpose and specialized chemical storage.
A vacuum pump with filtration is a system used primarily in laboratories to remove air and create a vacuum for filtration processes. It helps in speeding up filtration by reducing pressure, allowing liquid to pass quickly through a filter paper.
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.
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.
Burette is a long, graduated glass tube with a tap at the bottom, used in laboratories to accurately deliver measured volumes of liquids, especially in titrations. It allows controlled addition of a solution to react with another in a flask. Burettes are marked with precise volume measurements, making them essential for quantitative chemical analysis.
Inoculating loops are simple laboratory tools used to transfer microorganisms from one medium to another, such as from a culture broth to an agar plate. Made of metal (usually nichrome or platinum) or plastic, they have a small loop at the end that holds a tiny amount of liquid or cells. They are essential in microbiology for aseptic techniques.
Cuvettes are small transparent containers used in spectrophotometry to hold liquid samples for absorbance or transmittance measurements. Made of glass, plastic, or quartz, they allow light to pass through the sample. Quartz cuvettes are preferred for UV light analysis. They are essential for accurate optical readings and must be handled carefully to avoid contamination or scratches.
PCR tubes are small, thin-walled plastic tubes used in Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) to hold DNA samples during thermal cycling. Made of polypropylene, they ensure efficient heat transfer and chemical resistance. They typically come in 0.2 mL or 0.5 mL sizes, with flat or domed caps. PCR tubes are essential for precise and contamination-free DNA amplification.
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.
