There are many different kinds of funnels that have been adapted for specialised applications in the laboratory, such as Filter funnels and thistle funnels (shaped like thistle flowers). Dropping funnels have stopcocks which allow the fluids to be added to a flask slowly. For solids, a powder funnel with a wide and short stem is more ...
In chemistry, a retort stand, also called a clamp stand, [1] a ring stand, [2] or a support stand, [3] is a piece of scientific equipment intended to support other pieces of equipment and glassware — for instance, burettes, test tubes and flasks. [4] The typical ring stand consists of a heavy base and a vertical rod, both usually made of metal.
In laboratory equipment, a beaker is generally a cylindrical container with a flat bottom. [1] Most also have a small spout (or "beak") to aid pouring, as shown in the picture. Beakers are available in a wide range of sizes, from one milliliter up to several liters. A beaker is distinguished from a flask by having straight rather than sloping ...
Clamp holders can secure laboratory equipment at specific angles, diameters, and weights, as required. [3] Clamp holders are often used to hold the attached apparatus over a work surface. There are several different types of holders, such as swivel holders and all-position holders, that allow adjustments for different angles and planes. In some ...
Laminar flow cabinets exist in both horizontal and vertical configurations, and there are many different types of cabinets with a variety of airflow patterns and acceptable uses. Cabinets may have a UV-C germicidal lamp to sterilize the interior and contents before use to prevent contamination of the experiment. Germicidal lamps are usually ...
Laboratory ovens contain many components and other procedures that can be harmful to the user. Proper procedure and safety can help lead to mitigating the amount of injuries and oven malfunctions when using laboratory ovens. Before the oven is used, check to make sure that the oven is still in good working condition.
In a biochemical or analytical laboratory they may be used to mix the reagents of an assay or to mix an experimental sample and a dilutant. The vortex mixer was invented by brothers Jack A. and Harold D. Kraft while working for Scientific Industries, Inc., N.Y.,(a laboratory apparatus manufacturer).
