Beaker

The beaker icon represents scientific experimentation and testing functionality in modern development and research interfaces. Featuring a laboratory beaker or flask, this symbol indicates experimental features, testing environments, beta functionality, and research-oriented tools across digital applications and development platforms.

In modern applications like development environments or feature flag systems in platforms like LaunchDarkly, you'll see this icon representing experimental features and testing modes. It appears in developer tools when accessing beta features, or in application settings when enabling experimental functionality and research-oriented capabilities for advanced users.

From a user experience perspective, the beaker symbol communicates more than just testing - it specifically indicates experimental status, potential instability awareness, and the optimization of feature exploration for early adopters and researchers. This visual pattern helps users understand they're accessing features that may be in development or testing phases.

Beaker is one of 1,288 icons in HeroIcons, made by Refactoring UI Inc and released under MIT. It is drawn on a 24 × 24 grid with a 1.5 stroke.

Sign in (it's free), then open Get icon, Install with shadcn CLI, and pick your package manager to copy the command. It adds BeakerIcon to components/icons/heroicons-beaker.tsx: one file, a size prop (24 by default) and every SVG prop, with no icon package.

Copy it as React (from Get icon, or the Code section): a typed BeakerIcon component you paste into your project, with no package to install. Only the icons you import reach your bundle. It works in Next.js and any React app.

Yes, if your project has @heroicons/react/24/outline: Beaker is `BeakerIcon` there, used as <BeakerIcon />. The shadcn.io MCP server answers with that import when it finds the package. Without it, copy the icon from here.

Open Get icon, then Copy as code, and pick Vue, Svelte, Angular, Solid or Preact; the Code section shows each one too. Every version is one self-contained component with the SVG inside, and SVG and data URL copies are there for plain HTML and CSS.

With Pro, the shadcn.io MCP server lets Claude Code, Cursor or any MCP client find the Beaker icon, or any of 1,288 HeroIcons icons, and install it from a prompt.

It's drawn in currentColor, so it takes the text color wherever you use it: a class like text-primary recolors it. To bake a color in, set one in Customize before you copy.

Set width and height on the component, or a class like size-6. It's drawn on a 24 × 24 grid, so it stays sharp at any size. Customize also sets the size it exports at, its padding and rotation, and its stroke.

Beaker is a line icon drawn with a stroke width of 1.5. Change it in Customize before you copy, or pass strokeWidth to the installed component when all of its strokes share one width.

Yes. It follows the text color, so with text-foreground (or any theme token) it changes with your light and dark themes. The icon is a vector, so it needs no separate dark asset.

Next to a visible label it's decoration: add aria-hidden="true" so screen readers skip it. Standing alone, as in an icon button, give the button a name instead, like aria-label="Beaker", so screen readers say what it does.

Yes. BeakerIcon passes every SVG prop to the svg element, so <BeakerIcon aria-hidden="true" /> works, and so do role="img" with aria-label, or a title child, when it carries meaning on its own.

Yes. Open Get icon, then Download file: SVG for code or design tools like Figma; PNG, WebP or JPEG at 512px; or an ICO favicon with 16, 32 and 48px inside. Each one uses what you set in Customize.

Yes. MIT allows commercial use; keep the license notice when you ship the icons' source files. The full terms are in the license, linked on this page.

No visible credit is required: MIT only asks that you keep the license notice if you ship the icons' source files. Icons installed with the shadcn CLI already start with a comment naming HeroIcons, Refactoring UI Inc and the license.

Yes. Copying and downloading it is free, and the shadcn CLI install only needs a free account.

8 other libraries draw an icon called Beaker. The Other libraries section on this page shows each one, so you can compare them and open the one that fits your style.

Its tags are science, research, test, experiment and laboratory. Each tag page lists the icons that carry it from every library, which is the quickest way to find a match for Beaker in another set.

HeroIcons draws many icons in several styles: Solid next to the default. Open the library and pick a style above the grid to see Beaker's siblings in it.
