Hoffman Voltameter is a specialized laboratory apparatus used to demonstrate and measure the electrolysis of water into hydrogen and oxygen gases. It consists of a central reservoir connected to two vertical graduated gas-collection tubes (electrodes) and is typically made from borosilicate glass for chemical resistance and clarity. Platinum or carbon electrodes are used at the base of each tube to conduct electric current. This apparatus is widely used in chemistry and physics education to visually demonstrate the principles of electrolysis, electrochemical reactions, gas laws, and stoichiometry.

Microscope cover slips
Microscope Cover Slips are thin, flat pieces of transparent glass or plastic used in microscopy to cover specimens placed on microscope slides. They serve to protect the specimen from contamination, prevent drying, and provide a uniform thickness for improved optical clarity during examination. Cover slips help to flatten the specimen, ensuring even focus and minimizing distortion under the microscope lens. They are typically made from high-quality borosilicate or soda-lime glass to offer excellent optical transparency and chemical resistance. Available in various sizes and thicknesses, cover slips are essential in biological, medical, and research laboratories for preparing wet mounts, fixed samples, and stained slides. Their use enhances image resolution and protects both the specimen and microscope objective lenses.
Mortar and pestle
Mortar and Pestle is a traditional laboratory apparatus consisting of a bowl (mortar) and a heavy club-shaped tool (pestle) used to manually grind, crush, and mix solid substances into fine powders or pastes. Made from durable materials such as ceramic, glass, porcelain, or stone, this tool facilitates the preparation of samples for chemical analysis, pharmaceutical compounding, and food laboratory testing. The mortar’s thick walls and the pestle’s sturdy design allow effective pulverization without contamination. Mortar and pestle sets are essential in laboratories for homogenizing powders, breaking down crystals, and preparing reagents and mixtures.
