Beakers, Measuring Jugs

Introduction to Beakers, Measuring Jugs

Beakers and measuring jugs are basic laboratory containment vessels used for holding, mixing, measuring, pouring, and supporting the heating of chemical solutions. This category includes glass beakers, plastic beakers, and measuring jugs, catering to a diverse range of routine sample handling tasks.

When choosing, users should determine the appropriate material, such as heat- and thermal shock-resistant borosilicate glass 3.3, or chemical-resistant PP, PMP, and PFA plastics. In terms of design, products are available in low-form or tall-form, with or without a pouring spout, and feature printed colored graduations or clear molded graduations. Capacities range from 5ml to 2000ml, complying with international standards such as DIN EN ISO 3819, ASTM E960, and ISO 7056. Hoa Viet currently supplies beakers and measuring jugs from brands such as Aptaca, Assistent, Duran, Kimble-DWK, and Vitlab.

How do low-form and tall-form glass beakers differ in their intended applications?

Low-form beakers feature a wide mouth, making mixing and heat transfer convenient. Tall-form beakers help minimize liquid splashing during handling and are suitable when immersing measuring instruments or sensors.

Can PP beakers and measuring jugs be autoclaved?

PP plastic beakers and measuring jugs from Vitlab and Aptaca can be autoclaved at 121 °C (2 bar) according to DIN EN 285 standards. This material also withstands continuous operation at temperatures up to +100 °C.

Which brands does Hoa Viet distribute beakers and measuring jugs from?

Hoa Viet currently distributes beakers and measuring jugs from Aptaca (Italy), Assistent (Germany), Duran (Germany), Kimble-DWK (USA), and Vitlab (Germany). Customers can contact Hoa Viet for advice on suitable products and to request a quote.

Can the graduation marks on beakers and measuring jugs be used for accurate volume measurement?

The graduations on beakers and measuring jugs are indicative only, intended for rough estimation of solution volumes. For analytical procedures requiring high volumetric accuracy, users should utilize volumetric flasks or dedicated measuring cylinders.
