glassware Flashcards
high resistance to alkali
Boron-free/Soft Glass
poor resistance to high temperature
flint glass
used for light sensitive reagents
low actinic glass
used for heating and sterilization, commonly
used for constriction of reagent bottles
high thermal resistant / borosilicate glass
special alumina-silicate glass that has
been strengthened chemically than thermally
corex
Are frequently used
for preparation of standard solutions
volumetric flask
Are often used for
preparing reagents and titration
purposes
erlenmeyer flask
comes in
different sizes depending on their
intended use; chemical reaction
medium
test tube
Long cylindrical graduated
pipettes with stopcock (glass or Rubber);
used for titration
Biuret
Wide straight sided cylindrical
vessels that are available in many sizes;
used generally for mixing and for
reagent preparation
beaker
A long and straight
sided cylindrical piece of glassware with
calibration
graduated cylinder
Transfer Pipette
- volumetric pipette
- automatic pipette
- pasteur pipette
An instrument that uses centrifugal
force to separate solid matter from a
liquid suspension
centrifuge
etched rings on top of the pipette;
exact volume is obtained when the last drop
is blown out
blowout
Another type of volumetric glassware used
extensively in the laboratory.
