Glassware and Apparatus Assembly Videos
The videos below are designed to demonstrate how to efficiently assemble and/or use a variety of apparatus that may be encountered in the inorganic chemistry laboratory.
- To view a video, click the appropriate file link by its format and screen size (in pixels) in the table below.
- It is best to pick a format that is compatible with the computer you are using and a size that is appropriate for the speed of your internet connection. PC users should generally choose a ".wmv" format while Mac, iDevice (or PC Quicktime) users should choose the ".mp4" format.
- Note that for .mp4 files, you need to be using at least Quicktime 7 or a video iDevice (or other compatible handheld/tablet).
The videos are captioned (i.e., all audio information also appears in text on the screen), and therefore may be viewed with or without audio capability.
