GLASSWARE APPARATUS AND ITS USES

Image
Chemistry glassware is an essential form of equipment that all the labs require. Glassware apparatus are generally used for laboratory purposes. It offers a wide range of containment and transport functions for solutions and other liquid samples used in laboratories. The transparency of laboratory glassware allows users to easily monitor its content because the glass can withstand high temperatures and does not react with chemical and other substances that could skew results. Most of the laboratory glassware is manufactured with borosilicate glass, a particularly durable glass that can safely be used to hold chemicals being heated over a flame and also to contain acidic or corrosive chemicals. Although all these laboratory glassware should be cleaned immediately following use to prevent the chemical residue from hardening or mixing up.  Beakers Being some of the most basic lab glassware used, beakers are simple, lipped cylindrical containers that hold liquid samples. They are ofte...

What is Pipettes and What are It's Applications

Image
  What Is A Pipette? Pipettes have been existing since the 1700s.  Pipette is a laboratory tool used in transferring or transporting measured volume of liquid. Commonly known as Liquid Handling Equipment in scientific terms. It comes in various designs according to the deferring levels of the liquid. In common words, pipette is a pen-like structured dropper to transfer liquids into the test tubes. Pipettes or pipette are common pieces of laboratory equipment. The internal mechanism of the pipette does not come in direct contact with the sample/liquid. A disposable micropipette tip is used to draw the liquid into dispense from the pipette.  There Are Many Types Of Pipette: The first simple pipettes were made out of glass, such as Pasteur Pipettes. Now they are constructed out of glass or plastic. Large pipettes are made by glass; others are also made in squeezable plastic when an exact proportion or volume is not required. Measurement accuracy varies greatly depending on ...
