Choices include adapters, beakers, boiling flasks, bottles, burettes, columns, condensers, cuvettes, cylinders, Erlenmeyer flasks, funnels, joints, Petri dishes, reaction vessels, separator funnels, stirring rods, stoppers, test tubes, and volumetric flasks. This product area also includes watch glasses, devices which can be used for a variety of purposes and which include concave “dishes” that can be used as beaker lids. Watch glasses can also be used to hold protists and other invertebrates for viewing under a microscope, or to dissolve materials such as crystals and powders.
