is most likely #1 glassware equipment in any laboratory setting. It is used for everything: boiling, stirring, storing, transferring, collecting liquids and lot more. Very common use is boiling and heating, that is why quality and uniformity of the glass is very important. When your liquid is heated equally from each side your reaction is processing correctly and there are least problems one will encounter resulting in failed outcomes. Glass uniformity as well greatly reduces risk of flask cracking under heat or due to physical impact. It would be very unfortunate to have flask shatter in your hands and have $10,000 worth of material all over the floor or worst burning yourself with hot liquid. For those main reasons we mostly use and sell EU Simax Glass flasks. All flasks are tooled with necks and other connectors here in Canada. In rare occasion we may sell flasks made in China or India and for this we will advise our customers and explain associated risks.
