A: Use one of the Quickfit® expansion or reduction adapters Quickfit® glassware comes with a range of joint sizes. When the joint size of one piece of glassware match with that of another, connecting them within your set up is easy. However, things may not be so straightforward and some items may only come in a limited choice of joint sizes. In this case, there is a handy range of reduction ...
How often have you spent time trying to find the right pieces of glassware to fit together to construct your set-up?
A Flexible Interchangeable Range
Quickfit® back in 1934 pioneered the idea of interchangeable laboratory glassware based on set joint sizes aimed to tackle this issue. Today this range comprises of over 1000 products, most of which feature their signature conical ground glass joi...
Glass types can be confusing to understand, however, the variation in chemical composition provides the glass with different properties. Two types of glass commonly used for laboratory glassware are Soda-Lime and Borosilicate glass.
Glass Chemical Composition
The chemical composition of each glass type varies to give rise to unique properties:
Expansion borosilicate gla...
Pyrex® is borosilicate glass which differs from other glass types as it possesses unique properties of high resistance to chemical exposure, thermal expansion and thermal shock. This has advantages in laboratory uses, a key one being where glassware is directly heated, in beakers, test tubes or flasks. Let's look at some of these properties in more detail and see their advantages.
Fernbach culture flasks from Scilabware are ideally suited to large volume cell cultures where a large surface area to volume ratio is required. Three baffle indents maximize oxygen transfer to the culture medium. Manufactured from Pyrex® borosilicate glass for the maximum chemical resistance and optical clarity, Fernbach flasks are available in two versions, Delong neck and screwcap. . ...

I came across your article about "DPD Tablets" on Camlab Info, and it's a valuable resource for anyone seeking information about water testing and analysis using DPD tablets. Your explanation of their usage and significance in water quality monitoring is quite informative.
This article on nanocolor tube tests is a gem for analytical enthusiasts. The idea of zero calibration is intriguing, and your detailed explanation makes it accessible. The step-by-step process helps demystify the technique for beginners like me. The use cases you've highlighted, particularly in...
Grant have introduced the new Controlled Rate Freeze Thaw (CRFT), which is a liquid nitrogen and cryogen free controlled rate freeze and thaw system for cryopreservation in a wide range of applications. Cryopreservation is a process where biological materials such as cells, tissues...
A dipslide is a means of testing the microbial content of liquids. This is a common method of monitoring and measuring microbial activity within many systems and commonly cooling systems. Usually the use of a dipslide is the first line of defence for the testing of microbial issues that could be...
Purchasing items using donated funds without the burden of VAT will now save many Millions of pounds each year which can be put to better use in advancing scientific knowledge to provide new treatments and cures that will shape the medicines of the future.
Working with pressure/vacuum conditions in the lab is common but not all products are designed to withstand this. Products with appropriate geometry and wall thickness are suitable for working safely with pressure. For example, filtering flasks, desiccators, or flat flange vessels, as well as...
