Glassware can be seen everywhere in the laboratory, in various shapes and sizes. Although in recent years it has become more desirable to replace glass containers with cheaper, more durable and non-breakable plastic materials, certain substances and experiments or applications still require the use of glassware.

There are many reasons for this. First, glass is relatively inert, which means that it will not react with the chemicals or substances placed in it to disrupt or distort the results. It is also transparent, easy to monitor, heat-resistant, and can withstand high temperatures. In addition, it is easy to shape and mold into any desired form.

There are many types of glass instruments in the laboratory, and various types of glass can be used according to the purpose. For example, quartz glass is resistant to high temperatures and is transparent in certain regions of the electromagnetic spectrum. Thick-walled glass is specially strengthened for pressurization experiments, while amber glass is darkened to block ultraviolet and infrared radiation, making it ideal for storing fluids.

The following are some of the different types of glass instruments used in the laboratory:

Due to the wide variety of glassware in the workplace, and all experiments require maximum precision, the equipment must be maintained in the highest quality state. Although glass is resistant to high temperatures and most chemicals (except a few), long-term use will inevitably lead to degradation.

Is your glass volumetric instrument accurate? It discusses in more detail the chemicals and practices that cause glassware corrosion, which standards have been agreed upon, and how to best comply with these standards by ensuring that your glassware is still in a usable condition.
