hot plate

hot plate is a portable self-contained tabletop small appliance that features one, two or more gas burners or electric heating elements.

test tube clamp/ buret clamp

Hold the tube and buret while it's hot

stopper (cork or rubber)

Holds liquids in beakers

wire gauze

funnel

1. a tube or pipe that is wide at the top and narrow at the bottom, used for guiding liquid or powder into a small opening.

Florence flask

A Florence flask is a type of flask used as an item of laboratory glassware. It is used as a container to hold liquids. A Florence flask has a round body with a flat bottom and a single long neck.

stirring rod

A Glass rod, stirring rod or stir rod is a piece of laboratory equipment used to mix chemicals and liquids for laboratory purposes. They are usually made of solid glass, about the thickness and slightly longer than a drinking straw, with rounded ends. Like most laboratory glass, stir rods are made of borosilicate (commonly known as pyrex).

Petri dish

A Petri dish (sometimes spelled "Petrie dish" and alternatively known as a Petri plate or cell-culture dish), named after the German bacteriologist Julius Richard Petri, is a shallow cylindrical glass or plastic lidded dish that biologists use to culture cells - such as bacteria

test tube holder

A Test Tube Holder is a device that as the name suggests is used to hold the test tubes in place and based on the uses and the type of test tubes there are many modifications that can be sought.

Beaker

A beaker is a simple container for stirring, mixing and heating liquids commonly used in many laboratories. Beakers are generally cylindrical in shape, with a flat bottom. Most also have a small spout to aid pouring as shown in the picture. Wikipedia

Buret

A burette (also buret) is a device used in analytical chemistry for the dispensing of variable, measured amounts of a chemical solution. A volumetric burette delivers measured volumes of liquid. Piston burettes are similar to syringes, but with precision bore and plunger.

coverslip

A cover slip, coverslip or cover glass is a thin flat piece of transparent material, usually square or rectangular, about 20 mm (4/5 in) wide and a fraction of a millimetre thick, that is placed over objects for viewing with a microscope.

crucible & cover

A crucible is a container that can withstand very high temperatures and is used for metal, glass, and pigment production as well as a number of modern laboratory processes.

graduated cylinder

A graduated cylinder, measuring cylinder or mixing cylinder is a common piece of laboratory equipment used to measure the volume of a liquid.

pipet

A pipette, pipet, pipettor or chemical dropper is a laboratory tool commonly used in chemistry, biology and medicine to transport a measured volume of liquid, often as a media dispenser.

ring stand

A retort stand, sometimes called a ring stand,[1] is a piece of scientific equipment, to which clamps can be attached to hold test tubes and other equipment such as burettes which are most often used in titration experiments.

scalpel

A scalpel, or lancet, is a small and extremely sharp bladed instrument used for surgery, anatomical dissection, and various arts and crafts (called a hobby knife). Scalpels may be single-use disposable or re-usable.

Erlenmeyer

An Erlenmeyer flask or conical flask is a type of laboratory flask which features a flat bottom, a conical body, and a cylindrical neck. It is named after the German chemist Emil Erlenmeyer, who created it in 1860. Wikipedia

evaporating dish

An evaporating dish is a piece of laboratory glassware used for the evaporation of solutions and supernatant liquids,[note 1] and sometimes to their melting point.

wash bottle

Bottle of water to wash items

double buret clamp

Can hold two burets at the same time.

test tube brush

Cleans out test tubes.

dissecting probe

Dissecting sharp tool

dropper

Drops liquid

forceps

Forceps (plural forcipes) are a handheld, hinged instrument used for grasping and holding objects. Forceps are used when fingers are too large to grasp small objects or when many objects need to be held at one time while the hands are used to perform a task.

spot plate

a flat ceramic or plastic plate containing small wells on which spot tests are made.

test tube

a thin glass tube closed at one end, used to hold small amounts of material for laboratory testing or experiments.

spatula

an implement with a broad, flat, blunt blade, used for mixing and spreading things, especially in cooking and painting.

balance (electronic or triple beam)

balance to see what weighs more.

scissors

cutting tools

dissecting needle

dissecting sharp tool

thermometer

measures the temperature

Bunsen burner

open flame device.

pipestem/clay triangle

pipeclay triangle is a piece of laboratory apparatus that is used to support a crucible being heated by a Bunsen burner or other heat source.

volumetric flask

volumetric flask (measuring flask or graduated flask) is a piece of laboratory glassware, a type of laboratory flask, calibrated to contain a precise volume at a particular temperature.

watch glass

watch glass is a circular concave piece of glass used in chemistry as a surface to evaporate a liquid, to hold solids while being weighed, or as a cover for a beaker.
