What are all of the basic laboratory equipments?
1. Safety Equipment In any laboratory, safety is paramount. Important chemistry lab safety equipment includes a shower, eyewash station, flame-retardant blanket, rubber apron, gloves (various types), safety goggles and a safety visor. 2. Heating Equipment An inorganic lab may use a Bunsen burner (gas flame) to heat vessels. Any lab where flammable materials are used (especially an organic chemistry lab) will have electric heating mantles—no open flames. 3. Beakers and Flasks Beakers and Erlenmeyer flasks are used as reaction vessels and to hold, mix and transfer materials. They are not used for accurately measuring quantities, and they must be made of borosilicate glass to withstand heating. 4. Volumetric Glassware Accurate measurements and dispensations of fluids are made using graduated cylinders, volumetric flasks, pipettes and burets. 5. Distillation Apparatuses Special glassware used for distillation includes round-bottom flasks, reflux tubes and condensers. 6. Analytical Instru
