Beakers

Beakers are ubiquitous laboratory equipment that you find plenty in any laboratory. Beakers are highly functional equipment used for pouring, mixing and measuring fluid. Earlier, laboratories only used beakers made of glass, but now plastic beakers are also used for longer shelf-life and affordability. Beakers are a quintessential part of laboratory equipment, principally used for pouring, mixing and measuring liquids. There are different kinds of beakers ranging from 10 ml to 1000 ml, and companies that supply these products are aware of supplying variations of these products based on the different requirements.

How to Use Beakers

Beakers are cylindrical containers used to store various kinds of liquids in laboratory settings. Most beakers are made of glass, but there are other types of beakers available made of non-corrosive materials such as metal and heat-resistant plastic. It is important to know how to use it properly, especially these products are used to nurture highly inflammable or toxic chemicals. Some of the safety equipment used when working with beakers are heat plates, stirrers, safety tongs, safety goggles, gloves and lab coats.

• It is important to avoid any kind of splashing, slowly pour liquid into the beaker and always maintain the measuring line.
• Do not steer vigorously by hand, rather use a spoon or stirrer.
• Do not fill the beaker more than 1/3 when putting it on the Bunsen burner. 
• Use safety tongs when the beaker is hot.

 Features of Laboratory Beakers

• Disposable: Disposable beakers are used for one time. Some disposable beakers are also used multiple times but not more than 3 times. Usually, these are made of non-corrosive plastic.
• Graduated: Graduated beakers are marked with lines but often not accurate measurements of volume. 
• Handle: Handle beakers are easy to carry and pour. These are mostly fabricated with glass.
• Heavy Duty: Heavy Duty beakers as the name suggests are thick beakers with heavier bases with rims and sprouts. These have a longer shelf-life and are used for heavy-duty usage.
