Spot Plate
• Valuable for analyzing small samples for color change or presence of a precipitate.
Ring Clamp & Stand
• Used for complex experimental set ups where a beaker or other glassware needs to be suspended. The clamps will hold any necessary equipment like a thermometer.
Tongs
• Used to handle test tubes. Especially handy when the test tube is hot.
Flint Striker
• Used to add flame to the bunsen burner.
Watch Glass & Glass Stirring Rods
• Watch glasses are used for
