5 common glassware
High thermal resistant
High silica
High alkali resistant
Low actinic
standard flint
high thermal glass type
borosilicate
high thermal used for
beakers, flasks, pipettes
Resists heat changes
silica used for 3
optics, mirrors, cuvettes, thermometers
alkali glass, and used for
aluminosilicate
screen protectors- scratch resistants, alkaline resistant / corrosion
standard flint glass, and used for
soda lime
cheap: glass ware single use and dishes
5 plastic wares
polyolefins, polycarbonate, tygon (polyvinyl chloride), teflon, polystyrene
polyolefins 2 subs
polyethylene
polypropylene
polyolefins characteristics and used for
-unaffected by strong chemicals
-disposable: urine tubes, sample tubes, pipettes, bottles
-some autoclaves
polycarbonate characteristics and used for 2
-strong by susceptible to chemicals
-autoclavable
-centrifuge tubes and graduated cylinders
-not disposable
tygon 3 charac/uses
-non toxic
-flexible
-used in tubing
-clear
-handles most chemicals
teflon charac/purpose
-tough resin
-non-wettable/ is repelelnt
-stirring bars, stopcock, caps, tubing
-chemic innert
polystyrene charac/purpose
-chemic inert
-transparent
-not autoclavable
-microliter plates, petri dishes
most accurate flasks are
volumetric
graduated cylinders
less accurate but verstitile
beakers
not calibrated,
used as holding containers
Erlenmeyer flask
not calibrated
used for mixing to eliminate vapour
funnels
support filter
cuvettes
used in light measurement
fritted glass funnels
made from fine glass and different porosity used with filter paper, easy clean
-filters strong acids and bases
separating funnels
-separate immiscible liquids
-drop by drop filtering
test tubes can be made from
glass or plastic
centrifuge tubes
used to separate solids and liquids
plastic or though glass
3 types of cuvettes/ material
-disposable polystyrene
-quartz
-silica
