Question

lab equipment
instructions: use the word bank to fill in the blanks with the correct piece of lab equipment. each piece may only be used once.
word bank:
water bath, microscope, glassware, vernier calipers, balance, electrophoresis apparatus, ruler/measuring tape, micropipette

1. a micropipette is used to measure and transfer very small amounts of liquid accurately in forensic testing.
2. a electrophoresis apparatus is used to separate dna fragments by size using an electric current.
3. a magnifies small samples, such as hair or fibers, to observe details not visible to the naked eye.
4. a is used to measure the mass of evidence or chemicals in grams.
5. a water bath is used to keep samples at a constant warm temperature for testing, such as dna amplification.
6. vernier calipers are used to measure precise dimensions of small objects like bones, tool marks, or shell casings.
7. (such as beakers, flasks, and graduated cylinders) are used for mixing, heating, or measuring liquid volumes.
8. a is used to measure length or size of objects, often at a crime scene or in the lab.

Explanation:

1. Micro - pipette for liquid transfer.
2. Electrophoresis apparatus for DNA separation.
3. Microscope for sample magnification.
4. Balance for mass measurement.
5. Water bath for temperature control.
6. Vernier calipers for precise dimension.
7. Glassware for liquid operations.
8. Ruler/Measuring tape for length.
