The most common apparatus and utensils used in a lab are:

 

Balances - to measure the mass of a reagent or product

Beakers, Erlenmeyer flasks - to contain reactions or to hold liquid samples

Bunsen burners, hot plates, hot water baths - heat sources

Burettes - for adding a precise volume of a liquid

Clamp stands - to support a piece of equipment or a part of it that is otherwise unstable

Desiccators - to preserve a substance in a moisture-free environment

Droppers - for adding a very small amount of liquid, drop by drop

Fume hoods - to ventilate harmful gases

Funnels - for funneling or for filtering

Graduated cylinders - to measure an amount of liquid

Kipp's apparatus - to produce a reagent gas (e.g. H2S) in a controlled manner

Pipettes - to dispense small and precise amount of liquid samples

Spectrophotometers - to measure the absorbance and transmittance of a liquid sample

Test tube holders, tongs - for holding test tubes and beakers that should not or cannot be touched.

Test tube stands - for keeping a few test tubes upright

Test tubes - for holding small samples or for containing small-scale reactions.

Volumetric flasks - to make precise dilutions

Wash bottles - for dispensing small quantities of distilled water

Watch glasses - a cover for beakers; sometimes used as an evaporating dish

Wire gauges, clay triangles - to support a container while it is heating
