Latex gloves are an effective shield for
the hands and wrists against certain
chemicals, including detergents,
alcohols, biohazards such as viruses
and bacteria, bodily fluids, abrasive
materials, and more.

Nitrile is a stronger and better quality

material than Latex or vinyl, and is
the preferred choice of many industry
professionals, as well as home users.
SAFETY GEAR
Lab coats serve as a sort of armor
that shields the wearer from
harmful chemicals, bacteria, and
everything else on the other side
of the fabric, and the color helps
to keep this armor in the best
condition to protect the wearer.

from a substance.
2. Desiccators are sealable enclosures containing
desiccants used for preserving moisture-
sensitive items such as cobalt chloride paper
for another use. A common use for desiccators
is to protect chemicals which are hygroscopic, or
which react with water from humidity.

 Types of laboratory balance
[Link] to weighing substance or object (usually
in grams)
[Link] electronic weighing scale is a device used to measure
mass or weight.

Electronic balance
 Types of laboratory balance
1. typical instrument used to measure the mass of various objects. It
consists of three beams, each of which is provided with a single
sliding weight that has a size corresponding to the gradations of the
notched scale on each beam.

Triple Beam Balance

 Types of laboratory balance
1. Analytical balances are precision measuring
instruments used in quantitative chemical
analysis, to determine the mass of solid objects,
liquids, powders and granular substances. Today,
electronic balance use the principle of magnetic
force restoration, offering readability up to .0001
g.
2. It has a draft shield or weighing chamber to
prevent the very small samples from being
affected by air currents

Analytical Balance
TYPES OF DEVICES
An instrument that can be used to
observe small objects, even cells. The
image of an object is magnified through
at least one lens in the microscope. This
lens bends light toward the eye and
makes an object appear larger than it
actually is.

Microscope
 TYPES OF DEVICES
1. a kind of ambient air gas burner used
as laboratory equipment; it produces
a single open gas flame, and is used
for heating, sterilization, and
combustion.
2. The burner consists of a flat base with
a straight tube extending vertically,
known as the barrel or chimney.

Bunsen burner
 TYPES OF DEVICES
1. A "hot plate" is defined as a device
with a flat surface and an internal
electric heating element that is used
for cooking or heating food
2. used in the laboratory to perform
chemical reactions, to heat samples,
and for numerous other activities.
Hot plates are conceptually simple
– a flat surface with heating
elements. They do not produce
open flames and are well suited for
oil or sand bath use.

Centrifuges are used in various
laboratories to separate fluids,
gases, or liquids based on density. In
research and clinical laboratories,
centrifuges are often used for cell,
organelle, virus, protein, and nucleic
