Watch Glasses: Versatile Tools for Laboratories

Primarily used in laboratories for a variety of tasks, a watch glass is a round, concave dish typically made from clear glass. They also come in different sizes to suit various needs. The name came from its resemblance to the glass covering your wristwatch. These simple yet versatile tools are indispensable in any lab setting.

So, what's this glassware good for? It's often used to evaporate liquids, hold small samples of solids, or act as a lid for beakers. Additionally, its design makes it easy to see what's happening with your samples without risking contamination. Plus, it's perfect for weighing substances and conducting small-scale experiments. Think of it as a multi-tool for your lab work.

Watch glasses are normally made from glass (borosilicate glass or soda lime glass) or from plastics such as autoclavable polypropylene or chemical-resistant PTFE

The shape of a watch glass is slightly concave, which allows it to hold small amounts of liquid without spilling. Watch glasses can be reused after being cleaned and sterilized, making them a cost-effective and practical tool in laboratory settings.
