How it works

Select glassware by its intended function: reaction vessels hold mixtures, condensers exchange heat, volumetric equipment measures specified volumes, and separation or filtration equipment separates phases. The guide below links to the existing 26 illustrations and their handling notes.

Example: Equipment-selection example: when preparing a solution to a specified final volume, a suitable volumetric flask defines that volume at its calibration mark. A beaker’s approximate graduations do not provide the same volumetric accuracy. Follow the equipment specification and approved procedure.
