Engineered for Versatility and PrecisionErlenmeyer flasks offer exceptional reliability for laboratory tasks, from chemical handling to titration. Their conical design permits easy swirling of contents without risk of spillage, while the white graduation marks provide approximate volume indication for efficient preparation of solutions. The flasks robust borosilicate glass composition ensures resistance to corrosive chemicals and thermal gradients, making them a mainstay in research, education, and industrial labs.
Advanced Material and Superior ResistanceConstructed from premium borosilicate glass, these flasks withstand temperatures up to 400C and resist most laboratory chemicals, including acids and alkalis. Their durability makes them suitable for frequent sterilization by autoclaving at temperatures up to 121C. The surface remains clear and smooth, ensuring accurate observation and easy cleaning after use, prolonging the lifespan of the glassware.
Comprehensive Range of Sizes and ApplicationsAvailable in a broad spectrum of capacities, from 50 mL to 1000 mL and beyond, these Erlenmeyer flasks cater to diverse experimental needs. They accommodate a variety of laboratory procedures, such as solution preparation, chemical mixing, heating, and titration. The option to fit them with a rubber or glass stopper (not included) adds to their convenience for storage and reaction containment.
FAQs of Laboratory Erlenmeyer Flasks:
Q: How should Erlenmeyer flasks with white graduations be used during laboratory procedures?
A: These flasks are designed for tasks like mixing, titration, and solution preparation. The conical shape helps prevent spills during swirling, while the approximate graduations aid in estimating liquid volumes. For precise measurements, use with calibrated equipment.
Q: What are the benefits of borosilicate glass in Erlenmeyer flasks?
A: Borosilicate glass offers high resistance to chemicals and thermal shock, allowing safe use with most laboratory reagents and temperature changes. This makes the flasks durable, easy to clean, and suitable for autoclaving and heating up to 400C.
Q: When is it appropriate to autoclave these flasks, and what precautions should be taken?
A: Autoclaving is recommended for sterilizing glassware before or after handling biological or hazardous chemicals. Ensure the flask is not sealed (leave any stopper off) to prevent pressure build-up, and do not exceed 121C during the autoclaving cycle.
Q: Where can these Erlenmeyer flasks be used effectively?
A: These flasks are suited for laboratories in schools, universities, research institutes, and industrial settings. They are ideal for general chemical handling, solution preparation, and controlled heating or mixing applications.
Q: What stopper options are compatible with these flasks, and are they included?
A: The flasks can be fitted with either rubber or glass stoppers for secure closure, but these stoppers are not included and need to be purchased separately based on flask neck size.
Q: How accurate are the volume markings on these Erlenmeyer flasks?
A: The white graduation marks provide approximate measurements and are intended for general laboratory use. For experiments requiring precise volume, use additional volumetric equipment such as burettes or pipettes.
Q: What process should be followed to safely heat these flasks?
A: Gradually heat the flask using a laboratory burner or hotplate, ensuring compatibility with heating apparatus. Avoid rapid temperature changes to prevent thermal shock, and do not exceed the 400C temperature limit as specified for borosilicate glass.
