What Is a Burette? A Complete Guide to Types & Uses

A burette is a graduated glass tube with a stopcock, used to dispense precise, variable volumes of liquid — mainly during titrations. First built in 1791, named by Gay-Lussac in 1824, and redesigned by Karl Friedrich Mohr in 1855, burettes now come in acid, alkali, Class A/B, and digital variants, each suited to different chemical and precision needs.

Uses of Conical Flask in Laboratories

The uses of conical flask span titration, mixing, moderate heating, recrystallization, filtration, and microbial shake-flask culture — a technique dating back to 1932. Its flat base, tapered body, and narrow neck make it a staple across chemistry labs, pharmaceutical QC, food and water testing, and school classrooms, all thanks to one simple design solving multiple lab problems at once.

What Is a Conical Flask? Definition, Uses & History

A conical flask (also called an Erlenmeyer flask) is a flat-bottomed, cone-shaped piece of lab glassware with a narrow neck, invented in 1860 by German chemist Emil Erlenmeyer. Its shape allows swirling without spillage, making it the go-to vessel for titrations, mixing, moderate heating, and even microbial shake-flask culture — a technique dating back to 1932.
