Rejoice, we have finally found a source of reasonably priced borosilicate lab glassware. This is the kind of glass in the trade marked Pyrex(tm) and Kimax(tm) labware. The stuff you can put right over the flame of the Bunsen burner, or directly onto the hot plate. This stuff is imported from China, and is considered student grade, which is good enough for anything but the most exotic applications. We have beakers, test tubes, graduated cylinders and flasks. Compare the prices below and you will see that they are around half the U.S. equivalent. Call us for larger quantity prices.

Please Note: Physical sizes may vary slightly due to vendor and Mfg changes. Call or email for more info. 

You could melt metals in these ceramic crucibles, or you could just line them up and look at them, they're such pure design objects. Not bad as condiment pots, either. You pick the 50ml, measuring 1-3/4" tall x 1-7/8" ID at the top, or the 100ml, 2-1/4" tall x 2-3/8" ID at the top. White, with unglazed bottoms and lips, in an inverted bell shape with a hole for a wire.

Latex glove prices are dropping! Just like on TV! These are what all your fashion-forward crime scene investigators are wearing this year: black latex exam gloves from Phantom™. Powder-free, non-sterile, with a textured surface to improve your grip. These gloves have received high ratings from tattoo, hair salon and beauty professionals. The dark black color stands out and masks stains, inks and dyes during use. Our each is a box of (100) Medium or (90) Extra-Large gloves.

Hard polypropylene beakers, milky white with a fine pouring spout. No good for flames, but great for low-temp lab applications. Also useful in the kitchen, the garage, or (the big one especially) as a plant watering can.

So you don't have a gas jet in the garage? You don't think Margie and Ted are old enough to handle the high temperatures of a Bunsen burner? Our alcohol lamp is the answer. It burns alcohol (available at the hardware store), and is hot enough to boil water, to soften glass tubing for bending, and to generate the chemical reactions generally called for in science projects. The lamp is thick glass, shaped somewhat like a squared-off ink well, 3-1/2" tall w/ cap x 2-1/2" and comes with a screw-on wick holder and a handy little lid/extinguisher, both metal.

You pick small, medium or large borosilicate reagent bottles, all with ground glass stopper. Small is 60ml, 3-5/8" tall x 1-5/8" dia with a 7/8" long neck and a 1/2" ID mouth. Medium is 125ml, 4-3/4" tall x 2-1/8" dia with a 1" tall neck and an 11/16" ID mouth. Large is 250ml, 5-3/8" tall x 2-3/4" dia with a 1" long neck and a nearly 3/4" ID mouth. Made in India.

A recipe from the Elizabethan Cable Food Network? No, just a couple of samples from our collection of (48) specimens preserved for your classroom examination, with (4) well-labeled specimens on each of (12) standard-size slides. You get animal, plant, insect, textile, and pollen and spore specimens, including camel hair, camellia leaf, plant louse, fruit fly, fern spore, bee wing, nylon, wool, lily pollen, bamboo shoot, goldfish scale, and three dozen more, including our homonymic favorite, hare hair. Grades three and up.

Pat's been hanging around the medical supply house again. We now have a boatload of rubber stoppers, the kind you see on bottles of liquid medicine, crimped down with an aluminum collar. (Pat didn’t buy the aluminum collars.) The medicine is removed via a hypodermic needle through the stopper. The rubber stoppers come in a friendly orange and fit (13 mm) dia openings. The orange are 9/16" across the top, which has a dimple in the center, and 9/16" top to bottom. Why would you want them? Because they'll fit many of the small wide-mouth and slope-shouldered bottles in our Bottlemania listing. Pat's really good!

And a pestle to match. This 900ml, large-capacity mortar and pestle set is made for the lab but would also be proud to serve in your kitchen. (Call it the Guac Pot.) Mortar measures 6-1/4” across x 3-3/4” tall with a 7-1/2” long pestle with a 1-7/8” dia head, big enough to pestle anything into submission.

We can’t stop popping the tops on these plastic pop-top vials. Measure 2-3/4" tall x 1-3/4" dia and look vaguely like the bigger sibling of an old film canister, except these are clear so you can always see how much is in them. Lid snaps tightly closed, and you squeeze the sides to pop it open again. Try to do it just once and then stop. Impossible. If you forget how to do it, after doing it fourteen times in a row when you first get yours, instructions are on the lid. Use them for pills or breath mints or anything you’d put in little canisters you love popping open

Our digital pH meter is ideal for science projects, monitoring your water, keeping your prize-winning tomatoes happy and your aquarium healthy, and more. Has a 1/2" LCD that reads from 0-14 pH with a resolution of 0.2pH. Comes with (3) AG-13 batteries for power, directions for calibration including some 7.01 buffer solution and a screwdriver. Measures approx 5-3/4" long x 1" x 1/2" with a pocket clip and cover for the business end. Made in Romania!

Poly Erlenmeyer. Sounds like a fun date from Dusseldorf, but it's really a 250ml polypropylene flask with a non-gasketed screw cap. Measures 6" tall x 3-3/8" dia at the bottom with a 1-1/8" ID mouth. And unlike you it's autoclavable.

But science teachers can't work without them. Experiment with this good-quality manual vacuum pump made of durable polychloroethylene plastic. Works with a pistol-grip action and pulls up to 2" Hg. Includes a 17" length of clear vinyl, 1/4" ID tubing, and a release valve.

These blue glass dropper bottles are the color of the cold cream bottles that everybody's mother used when everybody's mother used cold cream. Measure 3-1/8" tall x 1-15/16" dia and hold (1) oz. Plastic safety dropper cap is 2-3/8" tall and marked at 0.4 and 0.8ml.

Set of (3) heat resistant glass beakers. You will get (1) each of  250ml, 600ml and 1000ml, all graduated. Great starter set.
