Beakers Glass Low Form 5000ml

Beakers are versatile and commonly used pieces of laboratory glassware primarily for mixing solutions, heating liquids, measuring approximate volumes, and holding reagents or samples during experiments.

Key Uses of Beakers in a Lab:
Mixing and Stirring: Their wide shape and open top make beakers ideal for combining substances and facilitating stirring.
Heating Liquids: Borosilicate glass beakers are heat-resistant and can be safely heated over open flames or on hot plates.
Measuring Volumes: While not as precise as graduated cylinders, beakers often have graduated markings for rough volume estimations.
Holding Reagents and Samples: Beakers serve as convenient containers for various chemicals, biological samples, and other laboratory substances.
Conducting Reactions: They provide a controlled environment for performing chemical reactions, allowing for observation and safe manipulation of substances.

Types of Beakers:
Beakers are typically made from borosilicate glass for its thermal shock resistance and inertness, but plastic and metallic beakers are also used for specific applications, especially for high-temperature applications or when transparency is not required, according to Thomas Scientific. They come in various sizes and shapes, including low-form (Griffin beakers), tall-form, and thick-walled beakers, each suited for different laboratory needs.
