AND PARASITOLOGY 2 1
MODULE 2: MICROBIOLOGY AND PARASITOLOGY LABORATORY MATERIALS & EQUIPMENTS
PETRI DISH • used to culture cells SLIDE • used to hold objects or
specimens for examination
under a microscope
INOCULATING LOOP AND • used to transfer and
NEEDLE inoculate living
microorganisms
REFRIGERATOR • used to cool samples or
specimens for preservation
and for storing samples
PIPETTE • transport a measured
volume of liquid, often as
media dispenser
• more accurate than INOCUBATOR • provides a controlled
graduated cylinder contaminant free
environment by regulating
PORCELEIN SPATULA • used in scooping up small temperature, humidity, and
quantities of powder carbon dioxide
• used for optimal growth
and storage of bacteria
cultures
STIRRING ROD • used to stir solutions, INOCULATING HOOD • used to create bacteria,
scrape things of walls of
fungal free atmosphere in
flask
the chamber with UV
• assist in pouring liquid
germicidal light
and transfer a single – of a
solution
COTTON SWAB • used for routine spot test TEST TUBE RACK • used to hold upright
sampling and drop multiple test tubes
transfers
TEST TUBE WITH SCREW • used for storage, FERMENTATION TUBE • used to verify gas
CAP transport and is production
designated with a screw
cap to be leak tight for
transport
ALCOHOL LAMP • used for heating, ERLENMEYER FLASK • used for pouring solutions
sterilization, and and may be closed with a
combustion in laboratory stopper
and to produce an open
flame
• used to hold liquid or solid
that release gas
AUTOCLAVE • used to help sterilized DEPRESSION SLIDE • used in dark illumination to
glassware, media, and observe the motility of
waste in microbiology lab bacteria
• uses the power of steam
CENTRIFUGE • used for the separation of
GRADUATED CYLINDER • used for measuring fluids, gas, or liquid based on
volume of liquids density
BEAKER • used for mixing, stirring, and
PIPETTE TIPS • used with pipettes and heating chemicals for
pipettors to speed holding liquid or solid
processing and reduce samples
cross contamination
TRIPOD • used to support or hold the
GIANNA ALEXIS LINGAD 1
flasks and beakers during
experiments
CLAY TRIANGLE • placed on a ring as a support
for a funnel, crucible, or
evaporating dish
TOP LOADING BALANCE • used to determine the mass
of a reagent or object
MICRO PIPETTE • used to measure and deliver
accurate volumes of liquid
