2. Glass rod - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glass_rod

   A stirring rod is used for mixing liquids, or solids and liquids. Stir rods are used as part of proper laboratory technique when decanting supernatants because the contact helps to negate the adhesion between the side of the glassware and the supernatant that is responsible for the liquid running down the side. Using a stir rod also grants more ...

3. Magnetic stirrer - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetic_stirrer

   A magnetic stirrer or magnetic mixer is a laboratory device that employs a rotating magnetic field to cause a stir bar (or flea) immersed in a liquid to spin very quickly, thus stirring it. The rotating field may be created either by a rotating magnet or a set of stationary electromagnets, placed beneath the vessel with the liquid.

4. Shaker (laboratory) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shaker_(laboratory)

   The liquids to be stirred are held in beakers, jars, or Erlenmeyer flasks that are placed over the table or, sometimes, in test tubes or vials that are nested into holes in the plate. [3] Platform shakers can also be combined with other systems like rotating mixers for small systems and have been designed to be manufactured in laboratories ...

5. Laboratory water bath - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laboratory_water_bath

   This type of water bath relies primarily on convection instead of water being uniformly heated. Therefore, it is less accurate in terms of temperature control. In addition, there are add-ons that provide stirring to non-circulating water baths to create more uniform heat transfer.

6. Hot plate - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hot_plate

   A hot plate or hotplate is a heated flat surface on a stove or electric cooker on which food may be cooked. [3] It comprises a heated top which is flat and usually circular, and may be made of metal, ceramic, or heat-resistant glass, with resistive wire forming a heating element fitted underneath and a thermostat to control the temperature.

7. Sand bath - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sand_bath

   A sand bath is most commonly used in conjunction with a hot plate or heating mantle. A beaker is filled with sand or metal pellets (called shot) and is placed on the plate or mantle. The reaction vessel is then partially covered by sand or pellets. The sand or shot then conducts the heat from the plate to all sides of the reaction vessel.
