Glass tubing is a versatile material commonly used in various scientific, industrial, and decorative applications. It is typically made from borosilicate glass, which is known for its low thermal expansion and high resistance to thermal shock, making it ideal for laboratory use.
Description
Uses of Glass tubing
1. Manufacture of Laboratory Apparatus
- Test Tubes: Glass tubing is cut and shaped into test tubes, which are essential for holding, mixing, and heating chemical substances.
- Pipettes: Used for transferring precise volumes of liquids, glass pipettes are made from drawn glass tubing.
- Burettes: Graduated glass tubes with a stopcock at one end, used for titrations.
- Condensers: Glass tubing is used to make condensers for cooling vapor in distillation processes.
2. Fluid Transfer and Flow Systems
- Connecting Tubes: Used to connect various pieces of lab equipment, allowing the transfer of gases or liquids between them.
- Capillary Tubes: Very fine glass tubes used for tasks such as drawing small quantities of fluids or for chromatography.
3. Reactions and Heating
- Reaction Tubes: Glass tubing can be used to construct reaction tubes for carrying out small-scale chemical reactions.
- Heating Elements: Glass tubing can be used to hold and heat samples in controlled conditions due to its resistance to thermal shock.
4. Measurement Instruments
- Manometers: U-shaped glass tubes filled with liquid (such as mercury or water) used to measure pressure differences.
- Gas Syringes: Glass syringes connected via glass tubing are used to measure and manipulate gases.
5. Gas Handling and Sampling
- Gas Collection: Glass tubing is often used in setups for collecting and analyzing gases produced in reactions.
- Gas Sampling Tubes: Used to capture and analyze gaseous samples from various environments or reactions.
6. Distillation and Separation
- Distillation Columns: Made from glass tubing, these columns are essential for separating mixtures based on different boiling points.
- Fractionating Columns: Used in fractional distillation to improve the separation of mixtures.
7. Chromatography
- Chromatography Columns: Glass tubing is used to make columns for liquid chromatography, which are used to separate chemical mixtures.
8. Protective and Insulating Uses
- Sheaths for Thermocouples: Glass tubing can encase thermocouples, protecting them from corrosive substances.
- Insulating Tubes: Used to insulate wires or other components in high-temperature environments.
9. Specialized Uses
- Optical Systems: Sometimes glass tubing is used in optical instruments for its clarity and purity.
- Spectroscopy: Glass tubing can be part of setups for spectroscopic analysis, where it helps guide and contain light or samples.

Amber Bottles Polystop
A laboratory glass amber bottle is a specialized container commonly used in laboratories to store and protect light-sensitive substances, chemicals, or solutions. These bottles are made from amber-colored glass, which provides protection against ultraviolet (UV) and visible light radiation. The amber glass helps to minimize the degradation and decomposition of light-sensitive contents by blocking a significant portion of the light spectrum.
The amber color of the glass is achieved by adding iron, sulfur, and other compounds during the glass manufacturing process. This coloration is what gives the bottles their distinctive amber or brown appearance.
Laboratory glass amber bottles typically come in various sizes, ranging from small volumes of a few milliliters to large capacities of several liters. They often have a screw-on or snap-on cap, providing a secure and airtight seal to prevent spills, evaporation, and contamination.
Due to their ability to protect light-sensitive substances, laboratory glass amber bottles are widely used in chemistry, biology, pharmaceuticals, and other scientific fields where sample integrity and stability are crucial.
Beaker Plastic
A plastic beaker is a laboratory container made from plastic material, typically featuring a cylindrical shape with a flat bottom and a spout or pouring lip. It is used for holding, measuring, and mixing liquids or substances during various scientific experiments, research, or educational activities. Plastic beakers come in a range of sizes and are designed to withstand various chemicals and temperatures, making them versatile tools in laboratory settings.
blow pipes
A blowpipe apparatus is a scientific instrument used in analytical chemistry and mineralogy for conducting various tests, particularly flame tests and microchemical reactions. It typically consists of a small tube or pipette through which a controlled stream of air or oxygen is blown onto a sample being heated. This stream of air or oxygen enhances the combustion of the sample, allowing the observation of characteristic colors emitted by different elements when they are vaporized and excited by the heat. The blowpipe apparatus is often used to identify and differentiate between different elements and compounds based on their unique emission spectra and reactions.
