CUVETTES
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.

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Porcelain crucible is a small, heat-resistant container made from ceramic material, used in laboratories for heating substances to very high temperatures. It is commonly used in ash content analysis, metal melting, and chemical reactions that require intense heat. Crucibles can withstand open flames and are often used with a lid and a clay triangle during heating.
A laboratory bladder is a flexible, inflatable membrane or container used in various experimental setups to simulate pressure, store gases or liquids, or mimic biological systems. Made from materials like latex or silicone, it is commonly used in fluid mechanics, biomedical research, or testing equipment to apply controlled pressure or volume changes.
