Laboratory Glassware

Several different types of glass are used for laboratory glassware, but they all share similar qualities since  glass is transparent  , heat resistant and capable of withstanding thermal shock. It is largely inert and won’t react with the substances used in an experiment and finally, glass is easy to mould and shape and therefore, items of scientific glassware can be created for specific experiments and requirements.

Types of Glass Used in laboratory glassware are Borosilicate glass, Quartz glass  Often also referred to as Fused Silica , Fritted glass that  is often used to filter items in laboratories and Silanized Glass that is normally used for cell culturing, this type of glass is coated to prevent organic materials adhering to it.
