LAB PPT Flashcards
Most common Resistant Borosilicate:
–Beakers
–Flasks
–Pipettes
High thermal resistant glass Usual brand that may encounter was _______ and __________
Kimax and pyrex
This has high resistance to thermal shock and chemical attack
Borosilicate/ high thermal resistant glass
Can be heated and autoclave
High thermal resistant glass/ borosilicate
Made by removing all elements from borosilicate glass but 6 times stronger than borosilicate glass
High Silica Glass (COREX)
Has good optical qualities, temperature capabilities and
is radiation-resistant
High Silica Glass (COREX)
Used for high precision analytical work and for optical
reflectors and mirrors
High Silica Glass (COREX)
Not used for the type of glassware generally used in the
laboratory
High Silica Glass (COREX)
Partially used for strong alkaline solutions
High Alkali-Resistant Glass
Often referred to as “soft glass” as its thermal
resistance is much less than of borosilicate glass
High Alkali-Resistant Glass
digestion with strong
alkali is made
High Alkali-Resistant Glass
poor in heat resistance therefore it is
not autoclavable
High Alkali-Resistant Glass
Has materials that usually impart red color to the glass that reduce the amount of light passing
through substance inside the glassware
Low actinic glass
Low actinic glass Provides protection to reagents highly sensitive
to light ranging from __________ to __________ angstrom
3,000 to 5,000 angstrom
Low actinic glass Used for substances that are particularly
sensitive to light such as __________ or _________ (other substance)
bilirubin or Vitamin A ( beta carotene, vitamin c, vitamin b1, porphyrin, solate)
Used for the manufacture of
weighing bottles because it
develops less static surface
changes
Standard Flint Glass or Soda
Lime Glass
Standard Flint Glass or Soda
Lime Glass Composed of a mixture of the
___________, __________ and ________
oxides, Calcium and silicon
Special Glasses: Used in light fitters, lamp bulbs and lightning lenses (fluorescent light)
Colored and Opal Glasses
Special glass: Have thin metallic oxide permanently fine bonded to the surface of the glass (infrared light)
Coated Glasses
Special glass: Have electronic applications as heat shield to protect against
infrared light
Coated Glasses
Special glass: Mostly soda lime glass lead and borosilicate of high optical purity (used spectrophotometer)
Optical Glasses
Special glass: Used in making prisms, lenses and optical
Optical Glasses
Special glass: Useful in hot plates, table tops and heat exchanges
Glass Ceramics (Pyroceram)
Special glass: Have high thermal resistance, chemical stability and corrosion resistance like borosilicate glasses
Glass Ceramics (Pyroceram)
Special glass: Made of soda-lime and lead
Radiation - absorbing glass
Special glass: Useful in preventing transmission of huge energy radiation as gamma
rays and X-rays
Radiation - absorbing glass
Beginning to replace glassware in the laboratory setting
Plastic wares
Its unique high resistance to corrosion and breakage as
well as its varying flexibility, had made it most appealing
Plastic wares
Its relatively expensive, allowing for most items to be
completely disposable after each use
Plastic wares
Unique group of resins with relatively inert properties
Polyolefins
Unaffected by acids, alkalis, salt solutions and aqueous solutions and can be autoclave
Polyolefins
Two types of polyolefins:
Polypropylene
Polyethylene
Type of polyolefins: Can withstand higher temperatures
Polypropylene
Type of polyolefins: More vulnerable to attack by oxidizing agents
Polypropylene
Type of polyolefins: Both polypropylene are used primarily to fabricate bottles, beakers,
jars jugs, funnels pipette jars, pipette baskets, tanks, etc.
Polyethylene
Twice as strong as polypropylene and may be used at temperatures ranging 100C to 160C
Polycarbonate resin
Unsuitable for use with bases such as amines, ammonia, alkalis, and
oxidizing agents
Polycarbonate resin
Used extensively in centrifuge tubes and graduated cylinder
Polycarbonate resin
