Engineered for rigorous laboratory environments, this 125 mL Erlenmeyer Flask Borosilicate Glass from Globe Scientific provides consistent thermal stability and chemical resistance across demanding mixing, heating, and titration workflows.
For laboratories requiring dependable glassware at below retail pricing, the Globe Scientific 8400125 delivers 125 mL capacity in a narrow mouth configuration that meets ASTM E1404 specifications for dimensional and volumetric compliance.
Manufactured from ASTM E438, Type I, Class A, 3.3 borosilicate glass with reinforced beaded rims, this conical flask withstands repeated autoclaving at 121°C without cracking or deformation.
Erlenmeyer Flask Borosilicate Glass Features and Benefits
- Best For: Mixing, heating, titration, cell culture, and solution preparation in research, clinical, and educational laboratories
- Standard: ASTM E1404, Type I, Class 1 — verified dimensional and volumetric compliance
- Temperature Range: -180°C to 500°C — autoclavable at 121°C for sterilization between uses
- Glass Type: ASTM E438, Type I, Class A, 3.3 borosilicate glass — resists thermal shock and chemical attack from acids, alkalis, and solvents
- Graduations: Dual white enamel metric scale graduations — permanent markings that remain legible after repeated autoclaving cycles
- Rim Design: Reinforced beaded rim reduces chipping risk and extends service life in high-throughput environments
