Using laboratory glassware is an important part of doing accurate scientific experiments and analysis. It is considered to be precise, strong, and multipurpose hence widely used. Inaccuracy cannot be tolerated when it comes to Laboratory Glassware which should give repeatable results for any experiment carried out with it. Glassware is made from borosilicate glass which has good resistance against heat and chemicals and it is also made from plastics such as polypropylene (PP) for certain applications. In this blog, we mentioned the essential laboratory glassware and the leading laboratory glassware manufacturer and supplier in Kenya.
Exploring the Types and Uses of Laboratory Glassware
Glassware Beaker
Beaker
Mixing, stirring, and heating chemicals can easily be done using this piece of equipment very common in every laboratory.
Beaker Brush
Specifically designed for a thorough cleaning of beakers thus ensuring that all residues are eliminated thereby keeping the integrity of the experiments intact.
Beaker Tong
Beaker Tong to hold hot beakers safely to prevent accidents and promote safe practices within laboratories.
Beaker Euro design
These beakers feature improved strength plus a unique shape that makes pouring liquids easier.
Laboratory Funnels
Analytical Funnel (PP)
Analytical Funnel is best suited for transferring liquids into containers with narrow openings without spilling. It is made from polypropylene for chemical resistance.
Buchner funnel with Fritted Disc
They are used When separating solids from liquid, especially during vacuum filtration, they have small holes (fritted discs) through which only liquids can pass while retaining solid particles above it, hence facilitating quick filtration processes.
Dropping funnel (Cylindrical)
A cylindrical shaped funnel that allows controlled addition of liquids during reactions where precision matters most such as titration, that require exact quantities injected at different times.
Funnel Holder
This is used to hold funnels in place during experiments thus ensuring stability and accuracy of liquid transfers.
Laboratory Flasks
Filter Flask
When filtering solutions using a vacuum pump system, filter flasks are used because they can withstand the pressure.
Erlenmeyer Flask with screw cap
Mixing and storing solutions are done by Erlenmeyer flasks due to their conical shape which allows thorough mixing while the screw cap prevents spillage or contamination of contents.
Conical Flask
The wider base area of the conical flask makes it suitable for heating chemicals during mixing processes that require vigorous swirling action which may result in bumping if done in narrow-necked vessels like beakers.
Distillation Flask
During distillation procedures where different components need to be separated based on boiling points, distilling flasks become necessary as they provide enough space for vaporization.
Iodine Flask
This type is specifically designed for use in Iodine titration experiments aimed at determining the concentration of Oxidizing agents present in a given solution.
Glassware Burettes
Atomizer Bulb
Atomizer Bulb attaches to burettes so as to dispense liquids in a controlled manner which is necessary when adding reagents during experiments that require precision at all times.
Automatic Burettes with shellback stripe
Shellback stripe improves the accuracy of automated titrants delivery systems where large amounts are needed.
Burette
Precise volumes of liquids must be measured during titration so it will not be done without a burette.
The world market for laboratory glassware is huge. Scientific research, medical labs, and schools are driving this increase in demand. Beakers, flasks, and burettes are the most frequently used items of glassware because they can be used for many different purposes in a laboratory setting.
