Where to find a beaker in 7 Days to Die
One checked place to look: Dr. Karen Higashi Residence
The residence has a Tier 5 hardened chest at local X 45, Y 2, Z 28. In the V3.2 files, this chest’s loot list can include a beaker. It is a possible source; opening it does not guarantee a beaker.
Open the chest in the POI recordThe chest’s Tier 5 label is a container type, not a claim about this building’s quest tier. This is the residence, house_modern_31; Higashi Pharmaceutical is a different POI.

Chest coordinate diagram
This diagram shows a source-file position inside the unrotated building. Local Y is a height offset, not a numbered floor. Walls, entrances and stairs are not shown; a walking route has not been tested.

cntHardenedChestSecureT5Select a numbered coordinate or a dot to highlight it. Point numbers stay the same when filtering Y.
Coordinates are (X, Y, Z) offsets in the unrotated prefab, not world coordinates or floor numbers. Y separates heights; stacked dots may overlap. The plot does not show walls, stairs or a safe route.
A + marks stacked coordinates. Tapping close dots offers a choice; the numbered list always selects one exact point.
What this answer covers
The item, loot list and placed chest have been joined from the same immutable public-server snapshot. Random draws still apply. The raw probability-template name is not an overall drop percentage; no exact chance or best farming route is established here. Mods, loot settings and other versions can differ.
Are medical containers enough to prove a beaker source?
No. A medical label does not establish that its loot list includes a beaker. This page lists the checked chest chain. Other source branches exist in the loot configuration, but their building coordinates have not all been reconciled, so this is not a complete list of ways to obtain the item. Trader stock, crafting and quest rewards need separate checks.
