Now that you've picked out a fantastic new microscope and other laboratory equipment for your experiments, you'll need some labware to make sure you have everything necessary for success. We have many types of laboratory thermometers and barometers available, with some better suited to extreme temperatures, and others that have longer stems for an easier fit in a long, narrow beaker. Of course, having data recorded for you automatically will greatly ease the challenge of some experiments to free you up for more important tasks, so having a digital thermometer that automatically records data is a smart choice for productive experimentation. Make sure to also head over to our laboratory glassware page for all your beaker, vial and petri dish needs!![]()
The difference is pretty obvious. Laboratory glassware are the glass items you use in a lab, like beakers, test tubes, flasks, and petri dishes. On the other hand, labware is everything else you need to perform experiments safely and accurately. For example, pipettes are some of the most common pieces of labware, as they allow you to dispense small amounts of liquids easily and then you can dispose of them. Other examples are centrifuges, filter bags, and crucibles.
A chemical pipette is a plastic tube that uses a vacuum to hold small amounts of liquids, like water and other chemicals. By pressing the inflated end of the pipette and sticking the open end into your chemicals, a vacuum is created that pulls the liquid into the container. Then, you can dispense small amounts into another beaker or flask.
