Editing Laboratory glassware (section)

==Examples==
There are many different kinds of laboratory glassware items:

Examples of glassware containers include:
* [[Beaker (glassware)|Beakers]] are simple cylindrical shaped containers used to hold [[reagent]]s or [[Sample (material)|samples]].
* [[Laboratory flask|Flasks]] are narrow-necked glass containers, typically conical or spherical, used in a laboratory to hold reagents or samples. Examples flasks include the [[Erlenmeyer flask]], [[Florence flask]], and [[Schlenk flask]].
* [[Reagent bottle]]s are containers with narrow openings generally used to store [[reagents]] or samples. Small bottles are called [[vial]]s.
* [[Jar]]s are cylindrical containers with wide openings that may be sealed. [[Bell jar]]s are used to contain vacuums.
* [[Test tube]]s are used by [[chemist]]s to hold, mix, or heat small quantities of solid or liquid chemicals, especially for [[qualitative data|qualitative]] experiments and assays
* [[Desiccator]]s of glass construction are used to dry materials or keep material dry.
* [[Evaporating dish|Glass evaporating dishes]], such as [[watch glass]]es, are primarily used as an evaporating surface (though they may be used to cover a beaker.)
* The [[Petri dish]] is a flat dish filled with a nutritious gelatin that allows for microorganisms to quickly grow, its named after its inventor Julius Petri in the 1880s.
* [[Microscope slide]]s are thin strips used to hold items under a microscope.

Examples of glassware used for measurements include:
* [[Graduated cylinders]] are thin and tall cylindrical containers used for volumetric measurements.
* [[Volumetric flask]]s are for measuring a specific volume of fluid.
* [[Burette]]s are similar to graduated cylinders but have a valve at the end used to disperse precise amounts of liquid reagents often for titrations.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Heney |first=Paul |date=2020-08-26 |title=What is a burette? |url=https://www.rdworldonline.com/what-is-a-burette/ |website=R&D World}}</ref>
* Glass [[pipette]]s are used to transfer precise quantities of fluids.
* [[Ebulliometer|Glass Ebulliometers]] are used to accurately measure the boiling point of liquids.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Ebulliometer |url=http://www.monashscientific.com.au/Ebulliometer.htm |website=Monash Scientific}}</ref>

Other examples of glassware includes:
* [[Stirring rod]]s are glass rods used to mix chemicals.
* [[Condenser (laboratory)|Condensers]] are used to condense vapors by cooling them down and turning them into liquids.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Abdulwahab |first=Abdulkareem |title=Experimental study of condenser material in the air conditioning system |url=https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2214785321061708 |website=Science Direct}}</ref>
* [[Retort|Glass retorts]] are used for distillation by heating, they have a bulb with a long curved spout.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Retort |url=https://americanhistory.si.edu/collections/search/object/nmah_2231#:~:text=This%20object%20is%20a%20retort,material%20from%20another%20through%20heating. |website=National Museum of American History}}</ref>
* [[Abderhalden's drying pistol|Drying pistols]] are used to free samples from traces of water, or other volatile impurities.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Sella |first=Andrea |date=2009-09-28 |title=Classic Kit: Abderhalden's drying pistol |url=https://www.chemistryworld.com/opinion/classic-kit-abderhaldens-drying-pistol/3004898.article |website=Chemistry World}}</ref>
