Glassware & Accessories

Borosilicate glassware and the hardware that supports it — flasks, beakers, and cylinders alongside the stands, clamps, and connectors that hold a setup together.

Glassware and the hardware around it are usually bought together but catalogued apart, which is why they share a department here. A round-bottom flask is only as useful as the clamp, stand, and Keck clip holding it at the right height over a mantle.

The Glassware branch splits by vessel type — beakers, Erlenmeyer flasks, filter flasks, round-bottom flasks, separatory funnels, volumetric flasks, and the graduated cylinders used for volume measurement. Capacity is recorded as a product attribute rather than a separate category, so you can filter for 500 mL across every vessel type at once instead of hunting through a size-specific subcategory.

Stands & Clamps covers the support hardware: lab stands and jacks, clamps and flange clamps, GL connectors, cork stands, and Keck clips for securing ground-glass joints.

Frequently asked

Glassware & Accessories FAQ

What glassware accessories do I need to set up a distillation or reflux apparatus?
At minimum a lab stand, one or more clamps sized to your joint diameter, and Keck clips to secure ground-glass joints against separation. A lab jack is standard for raising and lowering a heating mantle or bath under the flask without disturbing the rest of the setup.
Why is capacity a filter rather than its own category?
Capacity is a property of a product, not a type of product. Modelling it as a filterable attribute lets you narrow every vessel type by volume at once, and keeps a 500 mL beaker and a 500 mL Erlenmeyer in their correct product categories rather than lumped into a shared size bucket.
Are Keck clips reusable and autoclavable?
Standard polypropylene Keck clips are reusable but have a lower temperature ceiling than the glassware they secure, and repeated autoclaving degrades them over time. Check the clip’s stated temperature rating against your cycle before autoclaving them alongside the glass.
