Here are some of the different types of glass instruments used in laboratories:

• Bulb and graduated pipettes. These are used to transport specific amounts of fluids from one place to another.
• Burettes. These are used to dispense exact quantities of liquid into another vessel.
• Beakers. Simple containers used to hold samples and reagents.
• Volumetric flasks. Similar to beakers, these are used to hold samples, but usually come in a conical or spherical shape with a tapering neck.
• Condensers. Specifically used to cool heated liquid or gas.
• Retorts. These are used for distillation purposes.
• Funnels. The tapered neck of a funnel allows easy pouring of a liquid into a narrow orifice.
• Petri dishes. Shallow dishes used to culture living cells.
• Graduated Cylinders. Similar to beakers, these cylindrical vessels have volumetric markings to allow for monitoring of volume.
• Vials. Small bottles used to store samples or reagents.
• Slides. Used to hold items under a microscope for inspection and study.
• Stirring Rods. Used to mix solvents and samples together.
• Desiccators. A container designed to absorb moisture from a substance.
• Drying pistols. Similar to a desiccator, the pistol is a more direct method of removing moisture from a sample.
