Laboratories handling liquids often use a variety of chemicals, some of which are hazardous and pose a threat to the environment and human health. In order to prevent accidents and minimize the risk of exposure, it is important to follow best practices for liquid handling in the laboratory. In this blog, we will discuss some of the best practices for handling liquids in the laboratory to help keep you and your colleagues safe.
Know your chemicals
Before handling any liquid, it is important to know what it is, what hazards it poses, and how to handle it safely. This information can be found on the product label or Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS). Read the label or MSDS carefully and follow the manufacturer’s recommendations for safe handling.
Wear Protective Clothing
Wearing appropriate protective clothing, such as gloves, aprons, and goggles, is essential when handling liquids in the laboratory. Make sure that the protective clothing you wear is suitable for the specific liquid you are handling and that it fits properly. This will help to prevent exposure and minimize the risk of accidents.
Know Your Liquid Lab Terms
There are many common instruments or equipment used in a laboratory setting for handling liquids. Here are some of the most common ones:
- Pipette: A pipette is a lab tool used for handling or carrying measured liquids samples. There are many types of pipettes, with varying accuracy, from single piece glass pipettes to higher tech adjustable and electronic pipettes.
- Beaker: A beaker is a cylindrical container with a flat bottom, used for holding and mixing liquids. They are usually made of glass and come in a range of sizes. Beakers are commonly used for mixing, heating, and observing liquids in the laboratory.
- Funnel: A funnel is a cone-shaped tool used to transfer liquids from one container to another, especially into containers with small openings. They can be made of different materials such as glass, plastic or metal.
- Dropper: A dropper is a small pipette that has a rubber bulb at one end and a pointed tip at the other end. It is used for dispensing small volumes of liquids accurately and precisely.
- Burette: A burette is a laboratory apparatus used for measuring the volume of a liquid. It consists of a long, graduated tube with a stopcock valve at one end, which allows the user to control the flow of the liquid. Burettes are commonly used in titration experiments to measure the volume of a solution used in the reaction.
- Graduated Cylinder: A graduated cylindrical shaped lab tool used to measure the volume of a liquid. It typically has a clear scale printed on the side to allow for precise measurements of volume. Graduated cylinders come in a range of sizes and are commonly used for measuring larger volumes of liquids.
These are just a few of the common terms used in liquid handling in a laboratory. Understanding these terms and the corresponding instruments will help you to handle liquids safely and effectively in a laboratory setting.

Make sure you are handling liquids precisely
Handling liquids precisely is crucial in many laboratory procedures and experiments. Here are a few pointers to help ensure precise liquid handling:
Calibrate your instruments
Before you start working with liquids, it’s important to calibrate your instruments. This ensures that the readings you get are accurate and the volumes you dispense are precise.
Choose the right tool for the job
Different liquids require different instruments for precise handling. For example, for very small volumes, a micropipette or a dropper might be more appropriate, while larger volumes can be handled with a graduated cylinder or a volumetric flask.
Read the scale carefully
When measuring the volume of a liquid, be sure to read the scale carefully, paying attention to the lowest graduation marks. You should also read the scale from the correct angle to ensure accurate results.
Dispense liquid slowly
When dispensing liquids, be sure to do so slowly to avoid overshooting the desired volume. You can also use a stopcock or a valve to control the flow of the liquid.
Avoid contamination
To prevent contamination of the liquids you are handling, be sure to use clean instruments and clean any spillages immediately. Additionally, be mindful of cross-contamination, especially when using the same instruments for different liquids.
By following these guidelines, you can help ensure precise liquid handling in your laboratory work, which will lead to more accurate results and a successful outcome.
