Right glassware for the lab experiments is crucial for better outcomes in the laboratory.
We have mentioned how to use different lab glassware according to their needs:
Beakers: Lab beakers are commonly used to mix two chemicals, heating any chemical and for many other things. This things only possible do this because of their wide mouth and graduated markings.
Flask: To prevent spillage of chemicals and liquids, we use flasks because they have a narrow, long neck, which helps with easy storage.
Test Tubes: Widely used in laboratories because of their confined shape, which helps researchers observe easily from any distance.
Graduated Cylinders: When we want the exact measurement, we use graduated cylinders, which ensure accurate measurements every time, thanks to the scale marks, which help in precise measurement every time.
Laboratory Funnel: Funnels are used to filter out the liquids, fill the vessel, and transfer the powders and liquids.
Pipettes: Pipettes are most commonly used to measure and transfer small quantities of liquid in milliliters (mL) or microliters (μL).
