A complete guide to Chemistry Laboratory Equipment and Furniture

Chemistry is the branch of science concerned with the substances of which matter is composed, the investigation of their properties and reactions, and the use of such reactions to form new substances. And a laboratory gives us a perfect chance to build upon the basics taught in class.

Purpose of chemistry laboratory

• Ability to solve chemical equations using laid out procedures based on well-established scientific principles.
• Students are expected to be able to use chemical theories to explain and predict observable phenomena.
• Competence with lab equipment and measuring devices are expected in addendum to precise recording of data.

Essential furniture

A typical chemistry laboratory has workbenches with sink, water faucet and reagent rack. These workbenches can also have base cabinets to store glassware, apparatus etc. Special cabinets are used to store chemicals. Workbenches are fitted with necessary water and gas connections to conduct various experiments. Apart from these, Teacher’s table, first aid kit, safety chart, and fire extinguisher are other necessary requirements.
