In every scientific environment—whether educational, diagnostic, industrial, or research—the difference between accurate results and mishaps lies in the tools you use. Eqipped’s Laboratory Plasticware & Glassware collection offers a balanced blend of safety and precision, combining the practicality of plastics with the reliability of glass.
When Plasticware Makes Sense
Unmatched Durability for Busy Labs
Plasticware is virtually shatter-proof—ideal for high-throughput labs, teaching environments, or spaces with frequent handling.Lightweight & Ergonomically Friendly
Reduced weight means less fatigue for users who frequently handle samples or perform long procedures.Affordable & Versatile Options
Whether you need reusable items or need confidence in sterile disposables, plasticware gives you flexibility at a reasonable cost.Heat-Resistant, When Specified
Items made of polypropylene (PP) or polymethylpentene (PMP) can be safely sterilized and reused, providing hygiene without compromising on safety.
When Glassware Reigns King
Superior Heat and Chemical Tolerance
Crafted from borosilicate glass, our lineup endures harsh solvents and liquids heated to extreme temperatures with ease.Crystal-Clear Clarity for Precision
Transparency in glassware ensures accurate reading of liquid levels and visual tracking of reactions.Built for Long-Term Reliability
Though the initial cost is higher, proper care allows glassware to deliver consistent performance for years—offering excellent long-term value.
Choosing the Right Material for the Right Task
Application | Plasticware | Glassware | Preferred Choice | Why It Matters |
---|---|---|---|---|
Busy teaching labs or high-traffic areas | ✓ Safe | ✗ Risky | Plastic | Break-resistant and user-friendly |
High-temperature or corrosive environments | ✗ Unsafe | ✓ Safe | Glass | Tough enough for heat and chemicals |
Frequent mixing, transfers, or large batches | ✓ Easy | ✗ Heavy | Plastic | Lightweight and cost-effective |
Precision tasks like titrations | ✗ Less clear | ✓ Precise | Glass | Superior clarity and calibration |
Sterility-sensitive applications | ✓ Disposable | ✓ Reusable | Depends | Plastic offers disposables, glass allows autoclaving |
