Laboratory Glasswares in Kolkata
Laboratory glassware refers to a category of consumable items made from high-quality glass, commonly borosilicate glass or quartz, designed for scientific experiments, testing, analysis, and research. These glass items are widely used for measuring, mixing, heating, cooling, storing, or observing chemical and biological samples. Unlike ordinary glass, lab glassware is engineered to resist high temperatures, sudden temperature changes, and chemical corrosion, ensuring accuracy, safety, and reliability in laboratory operations.
Laboratory glassware consumables include beakers, flasks, test tubes, pipettes, burettes, volumetric flasks, condensers, funnels, watch glasses, Petri dishes, and measuring cylinders, among others.
Properties of Laboratory Glassware
- Made of Borosilicate Glass – offers high thermal and chemical resistance.
- Transparency – allows clear observation of reactions and solutions.
- Heat-resistant & Autoclavable – suitable for sterilization and high-temperature applications.
- Non-reactive – does not interfere with or alter chemical reactions.
- Precision in Measurement – volumetric glassware is calibrated for accurate readings.
- Variety of Designs – different shapes (conical, round-bottom, graduated) to suit specific lab functions.
- Reusable – durable for repeated use under standard lab conditions.
