Agar Plate

A petri dish filled with a jello-like nutrient material used to grow bacteria upon.

Agar Slant Tube

solidified agar at an angle to get a flat inoculating surface, used to store bacteria cultures.

Autoclave

a device for heating substances above their boiling point

Automatic Pipet

may be made for any volume and is equipped with a plunger that controls the delivery of fluid

Beaker

cylindrical glass container with a pouring lip, used especially in laboratories

Bottle

Plastic or Glass container used to store liquid or gas for an experiment

Buret Clamp, Coated Jaws

claws that hold burets, coated with plastic or ruber

Centrifuge

an apparatus that uses centrifugal force to separate particles from a suspension

Concave Microscope Slide

curving in or hollowed inward microscope slide

Disposable Pipet

disposable object used to transfer small volumes of liquid

Erlenmeyer Flask

used to heat and store liquids advantage is that the bottom is wider than the top so it will heat quicker because of the greater surface area exposed to the heat

Florence Flask

used for heating substanes that need to be heated evenly. bulbous bottom allows the heat to distribute through the liquid more evenly. mostly used in distillation experiments

Forceps

an extractor consisting of a pair of pincers used in medical treatment (especially for the delivery of babies)

Full-face Shield

lightweight face shield that provides full face protection

Fume Hood

ventilation device designed to limit exposure to hazardous or toxic fumes, vapors, or dusts

Funnel

a conically shaped utensil having a narrow tube at the small end

Gloves

handwear: covers the hand and wrist

Graduated Cylinder

thin, cylindrical container used to measure and pour exact amounts of a liquid

Graduated Pipet

glass; common sizes are 10mL, 25mL; used to measure solution in volumes; less accurate than a volumetric pipet.

Hot Water Bath

in the science laboratory, usually a large beaker of water heated on a hot plate; used to heat test tubes that contain a flammable liquid such as alcohol

Hot Plate

a lab tool used to heat substances

Incubator

apparatus consisting of a box designed to maintain a constant temperature by the use of a thermostat

Inoculating Loop

instrument used to pick up and transfer bacteria

Laboratory Balance

The tool used to find mass

Laminar Flow Hood

contained, controlled area designed to produce laminar columns of sterile, pyrogen-free air as a sterile environment for aseptic production of parenteral products.

Magnetic Stir Bar

small white oblong Teflon-covered magnet, used to stir solutions when placed on a stir motor

Medicine Dropper

used to tranfer small amounts of liquid; medicine

Microcentrifuge

A centrifuge used in laboratories to separate materials from small samples (especially of biological material)

Microcentrifuge Tube Rack

rack that holds microcentrifuge tubes

Microcentrifuge Tubes

tubes with capacities from 250 microliters to 2 milliliters

Micropipetter

an instrument used to measure very tiny volumes, usually less than a milliliter

Micropipet Tips

tips of micropipets

Monocular Microscope

which microscope has only one ocular lens

Peg Rack

dries laboratory glassware

Petri Dish

a shallow, circular, glass or plastic dish with a loose-fitting cover over the top and sides, used for culturing bacteria and other microorganisms

pH Paper

indicator describing the pH level of a solution

Pipet-aids

suction devices that are used to either suck liquids into or expel liquids out of pipettes.

Pipet pump, blue

holds up to 2 ml.

Pipet pump, green

holds up to 10 ml

Pipetting Device

accurately fills and dispenses liquids from pipette

Pipetting Bulbs

rubber bulb used to suck stuff up the pipet, fill it up easily

Safety Glasses

Safety Glasses Eye protection to protect eyes from the impact of foreign objects.

Scalpel

a thin straight surgical knife used in dissection and surgery

Serological Pipet

Used in cell culture

Stirring Rod

to stir combinations of materials and to use in pouring liquids

Stoddard Clamp Test Tube Holder

Holds test tubes used in experiment.

Swab

cleaning implement consisting of absorbent material fastened to a handle

Test Tube

a tube of thin, transparent glass that is closed at one end, used in chemical experiments

Test Tube Brush

Used to clean out test tubes.

Test Tube Rack

Holds test tubes.

Transfer Pipet (Beral Pipet)

Plastic, qualitative pipet that is used to dispense chemicals; often used in place of a dropper

Thermometer

Used to measure temperature

Volumetric Flask

used to make solutions of known concentration, accurate liq. vol. measurement

Volumetric Pipet

glass; common sizes are 10 mL, 25 mL; used to measure solution volumes accurately; must not be heated.

Weighing dishes/boats

Used to hold substances in while being weighed.
