All Types Of Laboratory Glassware

Glassware is of vital importance in any laboratory and different types of glassware is used for different purposes. Laboratory glassware is specially designed to tackle the toughest demands of functioning in research, industrial, medical and scientific labs. It encompasses a whole range of glassware including beakers, test tubes, flasks, watch glass, funnels, Graduated Cylinders etc. Some of them are used as containers while others are used as volumetric glassware. They are described here under:

Types of Laboratory Glassware

• Beakers - They are used to hold or heat liquids, chemicals and fluids which do not release gases during their reaction. They are unlikely to splatter when stirred. They can be moved and removed only by using the beaker tongs.

• Erlenmeyer Flasks -They are used to hold and heat chemicals that can release gases during a reaction. They can safely handle chemicals that can splatter if stirred.

• Florence flasks - These flasks have a narrow neck that prevents the user from any splash exposure. They are basically used for mixing the chemicals and are used in advanced laboratory experiments.

• Graduated Cylinders - They work as measuring tools and used for measuring volumes of liquids. Available in different volumes of 10, 50 and 100 ml, they are used for measuring different liquids.

• Test Tubes- They are a common type of Laboratory Glassware having finger like shape and a rounded bottom. They are used to hold, mix and heat small quantities of liquid and solid chemicals. They are available in different lengths and widths. Test tubes that are used for boiling are known as boiling tubes.
