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. Their simplicity and reliability make them a staple in chemistry, biology, pharmacology, and food science labs worldwide.

Borosilicate Glass Tubings
Borosilicate Glass Tubings are high-quality glass tubes made from borosilicate material, known for excellent thermal resistance and chemical durability. These tubes are used extensively in laboratories and industries for transporting gases and liquids, conducting experiments, and fabricating custom glass apparatus. Their high resistance to thermal shock and chemical corrosion makes them ideal for harsh lab environments and industrial processes. Available in various diameters and lengths, these tubings can be cut or bent to suit specific experimental setups.
Complete Liebigs Distillation Apparatus
Complete Liebigs Distillation Apparatus is a classic laboratory setup used for the distillation of liquids by heating and subsequent condensation. It consists of a distillation flask, Liebig condenser, receiving flask, and necessary connecting joints. The Liebig condenser efficiently cools vapor back into liquid form using a water jacket. This apparatus is widely used in chemistry labs for purifying liquids, separating mixtures, and studying boiling points.
Dropper
Dropper is a small laboratory tool used to transfer precise volumes of liquids in drops. Typically composed of a glass or plastic tube with a squeezable rubber bulb at one end, the dropper allows controlled dispensing of liquids for experiments, titrations, or sample preparations. Its simple design enables easy handling and measurement of small quantities, making it indispensable in chemical, biological, pharmaceutical, and educational laboratories. Droppers are ideal for adding reagents dropwise, conducting qualitative tests, or transferring liquids without contamination.
Dropping Funnel with Tap
Dropping Funnel with Tap is a precision laboratory glassware apparatus designed to add liquids dropwise or in a controlled flow to a reaction vessel or system. Typically made from chemically resistant borosilicate glass, this funnel features a conical body with a ground glass joint and an integrated stopcock (tap) at the bottom for precise flow regulation. It allows gradual addition of reactants during sensitive chemical processes, minimizing splashing, sudden reactions, or contamination. Widely used in organic synthesis, titrations, and controlled mixing procedures, it ensures safety and accuracy in laboratory operations.
Evaporation Dish
Evaporation Dish is a shallow laboratory container typically made from chemically resistant materials such as porcelain, borosilicate glass, or metal. It is designed to hold liquids for evaporation processes where solvents are removed by heating, leaving behind solid residues or concentrated solutions. The dish provides a wide surface area to facilitate rapid evaporation and is widely used in chemical, pharmaceutical, and educational laboratories. Its durable construction allows it to withstand thermal stress and chemical exposure during repetitive heating and cooling cycles.
Expansion of Liquid Apparatus
Expansion of Liquid Apparatus is a laboratory device designed to measure the volumetric expansion of liquids when subjected to temperature changes. It consists of a graduated glass tube connected to a bulb containing the test liquid. As the liquid heats and expands, the change in volume is observed and recorded through the graduated scale. This apparatus is essential in physical chemistry and materials science for studying thermal expansion coefficients and understanding liquid behavior under varying thermal conditions. It is commonly made from chemically resistant borosilicate glass to withstand thermal stress and chemical exposure.
Gas Jar Lid
Gas Jar Lid is a specially designed cover used to securely seal gas jars, which are containers used to collect, hold, or measure gases in laboratory experiments. Typically made from chemically resistant materials such as glass or plastic, the gas jar lid ensures a tight seal to prevent gas leakage during chemical reactions, gas collection, or storage. It often features one or more ports or holes to allow insertion of tubes, thermometers, or gas delivery apparatus, facilitating controlled gas flow and measurement. Gas jar lids are essential for safe and efficient gas handling in scientific research and educational laboratories.
Microscope mirror
A Microscope Mirror is an optical accessory used to direct and focus external light onto the specimen being examined under a microscope. Traditionally mounted beneath the microscope stage, the mirror reflects ambient or artificial light upward through the condenser and specimen to illuminate the sample. Microscope mirrors typically have one flat and one concave reflective surface, allowing users to adjust the intensity and focus of the light beam. Made from highly polished glass or metal with reflective coatings, these mirrors are essential in microscopes lacking built-in illumination systems or as backup lighting aids. They enhance visibility, contrast, and detail, making them valuable in educational, medical, and research laboratory settings.
