Beakers

Beakers are an essential laboratory tool for holding, mixing, and heating liquids. They are durable, easy to clean, and can be used in a wide range of laboratory applications.

A beaker is a common laboratory glassware that is used for holding, mixing, and heating liquids. It typically has a cylindrical shape with a flat bottom, a pouring lip or spout, and a wide mouth for easy access. Beakers come in various sizes, ranging from a few milliliters to several liters, and are made of borosilicate glass or other materials that are resistant to chemical reactions and high temperatures.

Beakers are versatile laboratory tools and can be used for a wide range of applications, including mixing chemicals, heating liquids, and measuring volumes of liquids. They are often used in chemistry, biology, and other scientific fields, as well as in educational settings such as high school and university laboratories.

Beakers are marked with graduations that indicate approximate volume measurements, although they are not as accurate as other types of laboratory glassware, such as burettes or volumetric flasks. Despite this, they are still useful for general volume measurements and can be used in conjunction with other laboratory instruments for more precise measurements.
