In scientific endeavors spanning chemistry, biology, and medicine, laboratory glassware holds pivotal significance, supporting research, experimentation, and analysis. Engineered to endure rigorous conditions including high temperatures, chemical interactions, and exact measurements, it stands as an invaluable asset for scientists and researchers globally, owing to its versatility and steadfastness.
A diverse array of instruments falls under the category of laboratory glassware, each fulfilling distinct functions within lab environments. Ranging from fundamental vessels like beakers and flasks to specialized equipment like distillation setups and condensers, these tools support a multitude of processes such as mixing, heating, quantifying, and isolating substances. Glass’s resilience and clarity render it perfect for observing reactions and maintaining precision in measurements.

Uses of Top Laboratory Glasswares & PCR Supplies
Erlenmeyer Flask:
Southern Labware offers a complete line of glass flasks for all your laboratory requirements. Their glass volumetric flasks feature a durable machine blown body and a heavy beaded neck with a sharp graduation line. Class A volumetric flasks come individually serialized and certified or batch certified and comply with USP standards.
Each volumetric flask is shipped with a calibration certificate from a NABL accredited calibration laboratory and are calibrated \’to contain\’ (TC, In). For the laboratory that does not require such exacting standards Class B volumetric flask feature the same quality and durability.
Erlenmeyer flasks are made from borosilicate glass and feature the best combination of thermal shock resistance and physical strength with heavy duty rims and durable white enamel graduations.
PCR Strip Tubes:
Optically clear thin wall PCR strip tubes are available in 8 or 12 tube strips. Made In The USA under U.S. F.D.A GMP guidelines these tubes are manufactured using virgin polypropylene and come Rnase, Dnase, Human DNA, and pyrogen free.
PCR strip tubes are tiny, individual containers utilized in PCR experiments to amplify DNA or RNA samples. They enable the processing of numerous samples at once, playing a crucial role in molecular biology investigations, genetic testing, and diagnostic procedures.
PCR Tube Rack:
Used for keeping PCR Tubes. Top & base of this rack are made of tough & transparent polycarbonate. Middle portion is made of polypropylene. Tube holding spaces are uniformly placed so as to facilitate the use of multi pipettes. Racks can be stacked together to save shelf space.
PCR Workstation:
PCR workstations are designed to protect against contamination during sensitive PCR amplification and manipulation of DNA or RNA. Since minimizing cross-contamination in turn minimizes inaccurate results, PCR cabinets and hoods are useful additions to the molecular biology and genomics lab.
A PCR workstation or PCR hoods are used in genetic and molecular biology labs to prevent cross-contamination between samples. It is a workspace enclosed on three sides. One of the main features of a PCR workstation is that they have no circulation. This attribute helps to combat contamination.
Distillation Adapter:
Distillation adapters are manufactured from low expansion borosilicate glass and come with 24/40 standard taper joints. The adapter connects the distillation flask, the condenser, and the thermometer. This type of adapter is often referred to as a distillation head. The ground glass joints must be lined up and connected tightly to avoid leakage of the vaporized liquid.
BOD Bottles:
BOD bottles are suitable for incubating diluted samples of sewage, sewage effluents, polluted waters, and industrial wastes to determine the amount of oxygen required during the stabilization of the decomposable organic matter by aerobic biochemical action. These 300 mL capacity bottles are recommended for the five-day BOD test as referenced in Standard Methods for the Examination of Water and Wastewater, 18th Edition, 5210B, 1992.
Burets:
Glass burettes are an integral part of analytical chemistry and require precision and accuracy. Class A burettes comply with USP standards and are calibrated \’to deliver\’ and come individually serialized and certified or batch certified.
Each buret includes a calibration certificate from a NABL accredited calibration laboratory. For labs that do not require this level of accuracy of Class B burets are made from the highest quality accurate bore tubing to provide a high degree of accuracy, reliability and durability.
self-zeroing Class A automatic burette meets ASTM E-287 and USP standards and are individually serialized and certified. Each burette comes with a reservoir bottle.
Glass Condenser:
In a laboratory, a condenser is a piece of laboratory glassware used to cool hot vapors or liquids. A condenser usually consists of a large glass tube containing a smaller glass tube running its entire length, within which the hot fluids pass.
Crystallizing Dish:
Whether you are a seasoned researcher or a student just starting out in the world of crystallography, Crystallizing Dishes offer a wide selection of high-quality products to help you achieve your scientific goals. Explore different range of crystallizing dishes and enhance your crystal growth experiments with Southern Labware’s reliable and durable laboratory glassware.
Distillation Kit:
The components of glass distillation kits are made from borosilicate glass with 24/40 standard taper joints. Keck clamps are provided for each joint connection to provide a secure leak proof connection especially under vacuum. The hardware was specially chosen based on the size of the distillation kit to provide a stable and safe set-up. We have created several condenser configurations to meet your distillation requirements.
Distilling Head:
Distilling Heads serve as the receiving vessel in microscale distillation apparatuses during mixture purification procedures. With the glass surface that cools rising vapors, the devices trap the returning liquid inside circular depressions at the base of the tube.
Glass Desiccator:
These desiccators are made from high quality borosilicate glass. The desiccator is designed for operation under vacuum pressure and is great for desiccation of your samples or for storage of humidity sensitive materials. Protect your sample from moisture with the use of glass desiccator and procelain plate.
Filtering Flasks: Filtering flasks, alternatively referred to as vacuum flasks or Buchner flasks, are specifically crafted to endure vacuum pressure and accommodate a filtration setup. They are employed alongside a filter funnel and a vacuum pump to effectively separate solids from liquids in both chemical and biological analyses.
Glass Funnels:
Borosilicate glass funnels include a 60 degree cone angle and beaded top and long stem. These analytical glass funnels are resistant to chemical attach and a necessity for any chemical laboratory.
Glassware Racks:
Glassware drying racks are Made in The USA by Accurate Wirecraft® and are built for a lifetime of use. They are heavy gauge vinyl coated wire is chemical resistant and provides a cushion for your glassware. Use glassware racks for drying or storage of your most valuable laboratory glassware.
In conclusion,
Laboratory glassware serves as the backbone of scientific research and experimentation, enabling precise measurements, controlled reactions, and reliable results across diverse fields of study. Understanding the uses and functionalities of different types of glassware is essential for conducting experiments effectively and ensuring the success of laboratory processes.
