Laboratory glassware” refers to the various glass containers and instruments used in scientific laboratories for measuring, mixing, heating, and storing liquids and solids. These items are made of glass because it is chemically inert, durable, and easy to clean, which makes it ideal for laboratory experiments where precise measurements and reactions are essential.
Care and Maintenance of Laboratory Glassware:
Cleaning: Glassware needs to be thoroughly cleaned to prevent contamination, especially for experiments requiring precision.
Handling: Glass is fragile, so careful handling is essential to avoid breakage. Proper storage racks and racks for drying are often used in labs.
Inspection: Check for cracks or chips in glassware before use, as these can lead to leaks or contamination.
