Kimble Chase heavy-duty laboratory glassware

Kimble Chase offers a selection of glassware with thicker, highly uniform walls for increased safety and durability in demanding laboratory applications

Researchers and chemists, who often challenge re-usable laboratory glassware with aggressive chemicals and rough handling, now have the means to enjoy the properties that glass offers with enhanced safety. Kimble Chase’s heavy-duty Kimax borosilicate glassware offers high mechanical strength combined with thermal shock resistance.

The selection of heavy-duty glassware includes beakers, bottles, centrifuge tubes and flasks.

Kimax heavy-duty low-form beakers offer good performance on hot plates and resist mechanical and thermal shock. The heavy-duty wide-mouth volumetric flasks exhibit high strength and durability, have wide-mouth neck openings for easier pipet access, large volume markings and flat interior bottoms for stirring with standard stir bars. Heavy-duty volumetric flasks are also available using Kimax processed with Ray-Sorb for light-sensitive compounds. For improved safety in vacuum filtration applications, Kimax heavy-wall filter flasks safely hold 1 atmosphere of vacuum and are available in sizes from 25 to 4000 mL.

Often used in clinical and microbiological laboratory applications, the heavy-duty screw thread centrifuge tubes are made using a heavier wall tubing to withstand high centrifuge speeds and are offered with tapered or round bottoms. For long-lasting durability in pharmaceutical applications, the heavy-duty solution bottle (carboy) has a 18 L capacity and can be supplied with a 2- or 3-port, platinum-cured stopper assembly and sanitary Kynar clamp for sterile transfer with no extractables.
