Laboratory consumables encompass a broad range of disposable items used in scientific research, diagnostics, and experimentation within laboratory settings. These consumables, made from materials like glass, plastic, or metal, are designed for single-use to prevent cross-contamination and ensure accurate and reproducible results.

Common laboratory consumables include pipettes, test tubes, petri dishes, and microplates. These items facilitate precise measurements, sample handling, and experimentation across various scientific disciplines. The disposability of these consumables minimizes the risk of carryover contamination and simplifies the laboratory workflow.

Advancements in material science have led to the development of specialized laboratory consumables, such as microfluidic devices and disposable sensors, expanding the capabilities of modern laboratories. The convenience and reliability offered by laboratory consumables contribute to the efficiency and accuracy of scientific research and diagnostics.
