CHEMICAL OR PHYSICAL LABORATORY APPARATUS FOR GENERAL USE

Description

B01L encompasses general-purpose laboratory apparatus and equipment used across chemical and physical research and analysis, excluding specialized instruments covered in more specific technical classes. This subclass includes items such as laboratory glassware, distillation apparatus, evaporating dishes, filter holders, stirring and mixing devices, heating and cooling equipment, and containment vessels designed for routine laboratory operations. It applies to apparatus intended for multiple applications rather than single-purpose instruments, and covers both manual and mechanized equipment commonly found in general laboratory settings. Adjacent specialized classes address specific analytical instruments, medical laboratory devices, and process-specific apparatus.
