TOOLS
MODERN LABORATORY MEASURING TOOLS
PH METER
- is an elecronic instrument used for
measuring the pH (acidity and
alkalinity) of a liquid (though special
probes are sometimes use to
measure the pH of a semi-liquid
substances).
- a typical pH meter consists of
special measuring probes (a glass
electrode and a reference
electrode) connected to an
electronic meter that measures and
displays the pH reading.
This acid is used in almost all car batteries and is also

known as 'Oil of Vitriol'. Which acid is it?

COLONY COUNTER
- is an instrument used to
count colonies of bacteria or
other microorganisms growing
on an agar plate.
- an instrument designed to
conveniently count or assist
counting colonies of
microorganisms on a plate
containing a gelled growth
medium.
Since ants come in colonies, is it true that ants have 2

stomachs?
a. Yes
b. No
a. Yes. Ants have 2 stomachs, one is for holding food for

their own consumption, and the other one is to hold food to
be shared with other ants!
CALORIMETER
- (from Latin calor, meaning heat) is
a device used for calculating the
enthalpy change of reaction, the
science of measuring the heat of
chemical reactions or physical
changes as well as heat capacity.
Common types:
a. bomb calorimeter ( constant
volume calorimeter)
b. coffe cup (constant pressure
calorimeter)
Over 20% of all calories collectively consumed by humanity

are from what single food?
a. pizza
b. burger
c. corn
d. rice
d. rice
VOLTMETER
- used to measure voltage
- it measure either AC or DC voltage
- it is a measure of the voltage
between two points of an electrical
current.
TYPES:
a. analog - the readings are
shown on a scale
b. digital - the readings are
displayed on a LCD or LED
display pannel
GALVANOMETER
- is an electromechanical instrument
which is used for the detection of
electric currents through electric
circuits.
- being a sensitive instrument, it can

not be used for the measurement of
heavy currents. However, we can
measure very small currents by
using galvanometer but the primary
purpose of it is the detection of
electric current not the
measurement of current.
OSCILLOSCOPE
- used to display and analyze the

waveform of electronic signals. In
effect, the device draws a graph of
the instantaneous signal voltage as a
function of time.
- they are used as

electrocardiograms, to test circuits
and to troubleshoot electronic
devices such as televisions.
MICROPIPETTE
- are utilized in the laboratory to

transfer small quantities of liquid,
usually down to 0.1 uL.
- they are most commonly used in

chemistry, biology, forensic,
pharmaceutical, and drug discovery
labs.
