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. Basically 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.
There are many types of laboratory glassware each having its specific use.
Use: Mixing, stirring, and heating chemicals can easily be done using this common piece of equipment very common in every laboratory.
Use: Specifically designed for a thorough cleaning of beakers thus ensuring that all residues are eliminated thereby keeping the integrity of the experiments intact.
Use: Used to hold hot beakers safely so as to prevent accidents and promote safe practices within laboratories.
Use: These beakers feature improved strength plus a unique shape that makes pouring liquids easier.
Use: 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
Use: They are used When separating solids from liquid, especially during vacuum filtration; they have small holes (fritted disc) through which only liquids can pass while retaining solid particles above it, hence facilitating quick filtration processes.
Use: 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.
Use: This is used to hold funnels in place during experiments thus ensuring stability and accuracy of liquid transfers.
Use: When filtering solutions using a vacuum pump system; filter flasks are used because they can withstand the pressure.
Erlenmeyer Flask with screw cap
Use: 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.
Use: The wider base area of this 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.
Use: 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.
Use: This type is specifically designed for use in Iodine titration experiments aimed at determining the concentration of Oxidizing agents present in a given solution.
Use: Atomizer Bulb attach 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
Use: Shellback stripe improves the accuracy of automated titrants delivery systems where large amounts are needed.
Use: 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.
