Turn your lab handouts into chemistry equipment flashcards
Upload your lab manual, slides, or a photo of the bench setup. DeckOwl reads the text and builds cards for each piece of glassware and apparatus, so you study the equipment your course actually uses.
Why build your own equipment deck
Ready-made sets of chemistry equipment flashcards are easy to find, but they rarely match the glassware in your own lab manual or the instrument your instructor photographed on the bench.
- Cards pair each piece of equipment with its use, not just its name
- Photos of your bench setup can become cards for identifying apparatus
- Spaced repetition brings back the items you keep missing
- Export to Anki or CSV on the Plus plan when you want a deck outside the browser
Reads your own material
Upload PDFs, PPTX slides, DOCX files, plain notes, or photos of a handout. Photos are read with text recognition.
Spaced repetition built in
Cards come back at the intervals where you are most likely to forget them, so burette and pipette names stick before the practical.
Study anywhere
Review in the browser on the free plan. Export to Anki, PDF, DOCX, or CSV on Plus.
How it works
Upload your source
Add the lab manual, lecture slides, or a photo of the page listing your equipment.
Generate the cards
DeckOwl pulls out the apparatus names, their uses, and the key facts into question and answer cards.
Review and export
Study in the browser with spaced repetition, or export the deck to Anki if you prefer that app.
A deck built from your own material also keeps the wording your course uses. If your handout calls it a volumetric pipette and a slide calls it a transfer pipet, the cards can cover both so the practical exam does not catch you out.
Start with the items you will handle in the next practical, then add the rest as the term goes on.

Frequently asked questions
How many flashcards should I make for a lab equipment unit?
Aim for one card per piece of apparatus, plus a second card for its main use or a common mistake when using it. Most units cover 20 to 40 items, so a deck of that size is a reasonable start.
What is the best way to remember lab glassware?
Group items by function, such as measuring volume, heating, or holding samples, and quiz yourself by asking which item fits a task. Adding the reason each item is used makes the names easier to recall during a practical.
Can I export these flashcards to Anki?
Yes, export to Anki is available on the Plus plan, which costs $39 per year or $7.99 per month. The free plan lets you study the cards in the browser with three generations per month.
Do I need a credit card to try it?
No. You can start on the free plan without a credit card, and students get 40% off paid plans with a school email.
