GLASSWARE &

PLASTICWARE
 GLASSWARE:
Laboratory glassware refers to a variety of equipment
used in scientific work, and traditionally made of glass.
Glass can be blown, bent, cut, molded, and formed into
many sizes and shapes, and is therefore common in
chemistry, biology, and analytical laboratories. 
 It’s essential to select the right bottles, flasks, jars,
beakers, and accessories to support your research. Some
labs require the inert, heat-resistant, and customizable
qualities that laboratory glassware provides, while others
prefer the price and durability of plasticware.
Whether you need glass, plastic, or both, the Fisher
Scientific channel offers a range of suitable lab glassware
and plasticware varieties to help you conduct your
experiments. Choose from multiple products, materials,
sizes, packaging, and other options.

Fisher Scientific also offers glass slides, beakers, burettes, lab safety glasses and distillation glassware
.
 STRILIZATION OF
GLASSWARE:
When sterilizing glassware such as bottles, petri dishes
and test tubes, dry heat is required and this is carried out
in a hot air oven. The ideal temperature of the oven
needs to reach is at least 160°C and the contents need to
be regulated at this heat for 45 to 60 minutes.
 PLASTICWARE:
Plastic labware is a cost-effective, less breakable
alternative to laboratory glassware. There are laboratory
plasticware options for industry, food science, and
pharmaceutical labs. Beakers, flasks, test tubes, petri
dishes, pipettes, and graduated cylinders are typically
made of glass, but plastic versions are available and have
the advantage of being more durable and less expensive.
Other plastic labware includes tubing, funnels, wash
bottles, scoops, tweezers, and eye protection.
 The resins that the equipment is made from can be certified for use in a general lab,
food lab, or pharmaceutical lab. Laboratory plasticware has another advantage over
the traditional glassware in that it is recyclable, whereas the heat-resistant
character of the glass used for lab equipment makes it non-recyclable .
 TYPES OF
PLASTICWARE:
1) Dispossible plasticware
2) Reusable plasticware
 GRADUATED CYLINDER:
A graduated cylinder, measuring cylinder or
mixing cylinder is a common piece of laboratory
equipment used to measure the volume of a liquid. It has
a narrow cylindrical shape. Each marked line on
the graduated cylinder represents the amount of liquid
that has been measured.
 BEAKER:
A beaker is generally a cylindrical container with a flat
bottom. Most also have a small spout (or "beak") to aid
pouring, as shown in the picture. Beakers are available in
a wide range of sizes, from one millilitre up to several
litres.
 VOLUMETRIC FLASK:
A volumetric flask (measuring flask or graduated flask) is
a piece of laboratory apparatus, a type of
laboratory flask, calibrated to contain a precise volume at
a certain temperature. Volumetric flasks are used for
precise dilutions and preparation of standard solutions.
 FUNNELS:
* Light weight
* Unbreakable in normal use
* Upper side is borrow and lower side is narrow
*It is use to channel liquid or fine grained substance into container with a small opening. Without a funnel spillage may occur.
*Filter funnels, Thistle funnels and Dropping funnels have stopcocks which allow the fluids to be added to a flask slowly
 TEST TUBE RACKS:
*Light weight
*Flexible chemical resistance plastic
*Many types of Test-tube racks
*it is used for the arrange the test tube at proper
way in laboratory
*it is very useful because ignore the damage of test
tubes.
(Dispossible Plasticware)
MICRO TEST TUBES:
* Light weight.
* Dispossible after use onetime.
* small in size.
* graduated.
* with cap.
* it is used for handling and storing small
quantities of samples.
 BOECO TOP-LINE HIGH
QUALITY THIN WALLED
PCR-TUBES :
*Light weight
*Dispossible after use one time
*Certified to be free of any detectable human DNA,
Dnase,Rnase and PCR-inhibitors
 CENTRIFUGE TUBES:
* Small tubes are required for handling and storing small quantity of samples for
experiments.

* Precise, printed graduation along with tube and aligned engraved graduation on the cone
,to allow easy reading of small volumes.
 PIPETS:
* Light weight.
* Dispossible.
* Graduated.
* Ideal for transferring samples to sample cups and
for drops counting.
 CONICAL TEST TUBES:
A test tube is also known as a culture tube or
sample tube, is a common piece of laboratory
glassware consisting of a finger like length of glass
or clear plastic tubing, open at the top and closed
at the bottom.
