Abstract: Laboratory apparatus are essential tools in chemistry experiments. The appropriate selection of laboratory apparatus, along with their cleanliness and dryness, plays a critical role in ensuring experimental safety, enhancing operational efficiency, and improving the repeatability and accuracy of experimental results. A clear understanding of, and proficiency in, the cleaning and drying of laboratory apparatus are fundamental experimental skills that students majoring in chemistry must develop. This article provides a comprehensive overview of the classification, cleaning and drying of common laboratory apparatus, offers some related standard operating procedures and emphasizes some relevant precautions.

Key words: Laboratory apparatus, Cleaning, Ultrasonic cleaning machine, Drying, Operation standards
