LE CHATELIER SPECIFIC GRAVITY BOTTLE

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.

Reagent bottles, also known as chemical bottles or laboratory bottles, are specialized containers used to store chemicals, reagents, and other laboratory substances. They are designed to ensure safe handling, accurate identification, and proper storage of a wide variety of chemical compounds.

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.

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.

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 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.
