About Aicil Conical Glass Flask
A conical flask is a type of laboratory glassware with a flat bottom, a conical body, and a narrow, cylindrical neck. Its uses include storing, mixing, and heating liquids, with the shape minimizing spills and making it easy to swirl for titrations and other reactions
Superior Chemical and Heat ResistanceMade from premium borosilicate glass, the Aicil Conical Flask endures exposure to acids, bases, and solvents, withstanding temperatures up to 400C. Its robust build ensures safe use with Bunsen burners and hotplates during laboratory heating processes. This resilience extends the flask's usability across numerous experiments and rigorous lab conditions.
Practical Design and VersatilityFeaturing a narrow neck with a rolled rim and an easy-pour design, the flask minimizes spills. The clear glass with smooth finish and approximate graduation markings aids in monitoring and mixing solutions. Its compatibility with rubber stoppers or cotton plugs further increases flexibility for various laboratory tasks. The flask is available in a wide range of sizes, matching diverse application needs.
Effortless Cleaning and ReuseThis conical flask is both dishwasher safe and autoclavable, allowing for easy cleaning and repeated use without compromising clarity or durability. Its non-sterile status means users can sterilize it as needed, ensuring adaptability for sterile and non-sterile environments alike, and promoting sustainable laboratory practices.
