Types of Scientific Laboratory Glassware
Laboratory glassware includes an extensive variety of items used in lab experiments. Lab glassware equipment include slides that hold specimens for examination under a microscope; reagent bottles designed to store chemicals safely; burettes that enable accurate liquid measurements; and funnels.
Laboratory glassware manufactured with high quality borosilicate glass, Highly tested laboratory glassware with high heat and chemical exposure without suffering damage. Furthermore, easy to customize products, enabling skilled scientific glass blowers to easily create tailored items tailored specifically to experiments.
Borosilicate Glass
Scientific Laboratory glassware is an integral component of any chemist's toolbox, from test tubes to conical flasks. Equipment must withstand temperatures and chemicals encountered across a spectrum of environments; glass being an extremely versatile material it can be moulded for various uses while still producing mass amounts; several varieties exist that can be used as laboratory glassware but borosilicate glass is the most popular choice.
Borosilicate glass is an extremely heat resistant type of glass made from silica and boron oxide, formed through melting these materials together at high temperatures before shaping them into useful forms. Annealing ensures strength and durability for long term use as well as thermal shock resistance allowing rapid changes in temperature without cracking or breaking.
The Atico Lab Export offers an expansive selection of laboratory glassware made of borosilicate glass from industry-leading scientific glassware manufacturers that adhere to stringent quality assurance protocols. Our collection features beakers, bottles, cylinders, decanters, flasks, burettes funnels and vials that serve different functions - some measuring specific volumes while others provide strength against pressurized applications - making these pieces indispensable tools in any chemistry lab.
Pyrex Glass
Pyrex was introduced by Corning in 1915. Constructed from borosilicate glass containing boron trioxide, its resistance to temperature changes makes it perfect for lab work where chemicals must often be heated at high temperatures. Furthermore, it boasts low thermal expansion ensuring less likely breakage.
Borosilicate glass boasts outstanding resistance against acids, salt solutions and halogens while remaining moderately resistant against alkaline solutions. Cleanup and sterilization processes are simple making this an excellent choice for laboratory environments.
Pyrex glassware is both heat and cold-resistant, with excellent temperature tolerance during freezing/thawing cycles, scratch resistance and easy handling characteristics that won't chip or crack under pressure. Furthermore, its affordability makes pyrex the go-to material among scientists and researchers.
Choose an experienced pyrex glassware supplier or exporter when choosing your manufacturer, supplier or exporter. Atico Export has been producing borosilicate glassware for over 30 years and offers a comprehensive range of scientific experiments suitable products as well as top-of-the-line chemistry glasses which can also be found widely used by schools and colleges worldwide.
Quartz Glass
Laboratory glassware is used in an assortment of experiments and comes in many shapes and sizes. Anyone familiar with chemistry classes or science lessons at school should recognize most of this equipment, such as test tubes and beakers; there may also be more durable pieces made out of more resilient materials like metal.
Lab glassware designed specifically for scientific experiments should withstand both high heats and thermal shock while remaining transparent for observation of experimenter reactions. In addition, it must resist chemical effects while being easy to sterilize; many types of glass offer these features and therefore are ideal for scientific work.
Quartz Glass (often referred to as fused silica) can be an incredibly useful component of lab equipment, featuring excellent durability, heating capabilities and water submersion without cracking - perfect for distillation, chromatography and contained chemical reactions.
Atico Lab Export is an Indian supplier of quartz glass that offers superior laboratory glassware. Their laboratory glasses can be found widely used across fields like chemistry, biology and physics; manufactured using premium raw materials and advanced production techniques.
Heat Resistant Glass
Heat resistant glass (toughened or tempered glass) can withstand sudden temperature changes and impacts with minimal damage, and be formed into various sizes and shapes for oven doors and cookware. Due to its durability, however, heat resistant glass can also be used as an insulating fireplace door or window protection - or incorporated into decorative art projects! It's easier to clean than other forms of glass as its oleophobic coating helps it resist smudging as well.
There are various heat-resistant glasses, with borosilicate, aluminosilicate and quartz being among the most widely-used varieties. These three have high melting points and can withstand sudden temperature changes while being chemically stable - so no unwanted scents or flavors remain trapped inside! In addition, they're durable and easy to work with!
Borosilicate glass boasts a low expansion rate when heated, which lowers breakage risk. Composed of silica sand, boron trioxide, sodium oxide, and other natural materials such as silica sand and other natural elements, HARIO's borosilicate is produced through an automated melting furnace using oxygen and fuel torches in order to achieve its perfect consistency and shape. After it cools and hardens it can even be shaped into any desired form before being hardening further!
