Ideal for the preparation of reagents, rinsing glassware or plasticware, and other molecular biology or cell culture applications, Corning® water can save the expense of installing and maintaining your own water system, while ensuring you have a secondary source of water that meets your specifications.

Beaker, with spout, manufactured with uniform wall thickness, offers optimum balance between thermal shock resistance and mechanical strength. For convenience, the 250 through 4000 mL beakers have a double graduated metric scale to indicate approximate content. All sizes have an extra large marking spot. The 10 mL size is not graduated.

Desiccators have a rugged 24/29 standard taper stopcock with a tooled hose connection that serves as the vacuum inlet. It is designed so that its manipulation is not affected by the vacuum.

Calibrated “To Contain.” A less costly cylinder, designed for those institutions performing many general laboratory procedures. No bumper guards supplied.

PYREX® flat bottom boiling flasks have long necks with tooled mouths and take a No. 2 rubber stopper. They are manufactured from No. 7740 borosilicate glass. Wall thicknesses are carefully controlled to provide the proper balance between thermal expansion and mechanical strength for greater shock resistance. Their excellent chemical durability results in contamination-free results and long life under the toughest lab conditions. The normal working temperature for PYREX® boiling flasks is 230°C.

These flasks, with tubulation, are blown in special molds, in shapes designed to give maximum mechanical strength. For convenience, the flasks are graduated to show approximate capacity. The neck finish affords an excellent fit for rubber stoppers. Tubulation O.D. on sizes up to 1000 mL is approximately 10 mm. Tubulation O.D. for 2000 mL, and 4000 mL is approximately 12.5 mm.

A convenience pack containing one each of the most popular sizes of Cat. No. 4980 series flask. Designed for the low volume user, a case contains one each of five sizes: 50 mL, 125 mL, 250 mL, 500 mL, and 1L. Packaged in a partitioned carton for safe transit and storage.

Heavy duty bottle which can be used for storage as well as mixing and sampling. Includes linerless, one-piece autoclavable polypropylene plug seal cap with drip free pouring rings. Optional red PBT caps and red ETFE pouring rings are available for dry heat sterilization (180°C). Glass bead indicates full capacity line on 100 mL through 2L size. Bottles have permanent white enamel graduations and marking spots. Color-coded polypropylene caps are available in a choice of orange, green, purple, red, and light gray.

Furnished with deep-form phenolic caps to facilitate handling and sealing after autoclaving. Caps are fabricated from a special formula resistant to the effects of temperature and steam in autoclaving. Caps are provided with a glued-in, white rubber liner. The white enamel marking spot gives an excellent surface for pencil notations. Pencil marks are easily erased.

PYREX® round bottom boiling flasks have short ring necks and take a No. 5 rubber stopper. These ring neck boiling flasks are precisely tooled for uniform stopper fit. These flasks are used in applications requiring rigid stoppering and as wash bottles in routine lab washing. They are manufactured from No. 7740 borosilicate glass. 

These test tubes are annealed, resistant to heat and chemically stable. Rims are fire-polished. The 25 mm diameter tubes do not have a marking spot.

These watch glasses possess high chemical durability, thus preventing contamination of solutions. They are molded to the same radius of curvature for convenient stacking. The heavy wall and ­uniform fire-polished edge provide mechanical strength. The outside diameter cannot be controlled within close limits and a slight degree of out-of-round can be expected to occur.

Bovine calf serum is a cost-effective alternative to Fetal Bovine Serum (FBS). It is often used with robust cell lines when large quantities of serum are needed such as in the manufacturing of biological drugs and vaccines. Bovine calf serum is derived from calves that are generally less than 22 weeks old. It has very high levels of transferrin, which allows for iron fortification to levels of more than three times greater than normal FBS. Iron is essential for cell respiration and metabolism and for some cell lines, makes up for the lower levels of growth factors and other metabolites found in calf serum when compared to FBS.

Fetal Bovine Serum (FBS) is a time tested, universal supplement used in cell culture. It provides many compounds that have been shown to satisfy specific metabolic requirements for the culture of cells, including hormones, growth factors, cell attachment factors, pH buffer, protease inhibitors, vitamins, minerals, lipids, and a variety of undefined components. Serum also protects against toxic effects associated with pH change, the presence of heavy metal ions, endotoxin, and proteolytic activity.
