PYREX® Glass Rimless Test Tube 12x75mm

PYREX®®^® test tubes are made from special borosilicate tubing to give them an optimum wall thickness. They are highly resistant to thermal shock, chemical corrosion, and physical impact.

This is our smallest test tube. The opening is less than half an inch and the length is about three inches. It features a permanent white marking spot, ensuring that important information about the contents is not lost or erased during the course of an experiment.

Safety Tips:

• Always replace glass laboratory containers that have become scratched or abraded. These defects will make the glass prone to breakage while in use.
• The maximum working temperature for PYREX®® glassware is 490°C. However, once the temperature exceeds 150°C, ensure that heating and cooling is achieved in a slow and uniform manner.
• Do not use hydrofluoric or hot phosphoric acid in glass.
• Hot alkalis will etch glass.
