Lab Glassware Manufacturer, Suppliers and Exporter in China

School Lab China is leading Lab Glassware

Laboratory glassware is the glass apparatus used to contain, measure, transfer, heat and join in a laboratory — flasks, beakers, test tubes, burettes, pipettes, measuring cylinders, volumetric flasks, funnels, watch glasses, specimen vials, and the ground joints, stoppers and stopcocks that connect them. It is bought by school and college science departments, university teaching and research laboratories, and industry testing labs. School Lab China manufactures and exports laboratory equipment from China and supplies this range against quotation.

The category is organised across fourteen sub-ranges, grouped by function rather than by discipline: measuring and volumetric ware, containment and transfer, specimen and staining ware, heating, and joints and closures. Glass type, capacity, graduation interval and tolerance class are confirmed per line on quotation, and specifications are available on request where they are not published against an item. Samples can be supplied before a bulk order, and quotations can be prepared in a format suitable for tender submission.

What decides the price and fitness of a glassware order?

Four things, and none of them is the shape of the item: Glass, Class, Graduation, Ground. Two pieces that look identical on a shelf can differ by an order of magnitude in price and be fit for entirely different work.

1. Glass. Borosilicate or soda-lime. Borosilicate resists thermal shock and is what you need for anything that will be heated or subjected to rapid temperature change. Soda-lime is cheaper and appropriate for watch glasses, storage and cold work. Confirm which, per line.
2. Class. For volumetric ware — volumetric flasks, burettes, bulb and graduated pipettes, measuring cylinders — the tolerance class is the specification. A capacity without a class is not yet specified.
3. Graduation. Capacity range and graduation interval. A 100 mL cylinder graduated in 1 mL and one graduated in 5 mL are different instruments for the same money-looking price.
4. Ground. For anything that mates — stoppers, joints, stopcocks, screw caps, adapters — the joint or thread size has to match what you already own, or nothing connects.

Send an order in that form and the quotation can be built line by line without a round of clarifications.

What is in each sub-range?

Fourteen sub-ranges, grouped here by what the glassware does. Availability is confirmed on quotation — read the note beneath the table before committing anything to a bill of quantities.

Note on glass type: the sub-range names indicate the material in one case — watch glasses are listed as soda glass. For every other line, confirm whether the item is borosilicate or soda-lime on the quotation. Do not assume a single glass type across the category.

What should you check before ordering glassware?

Glass type and tolerance class first; then graduation, joint size and pack quantity. Glassware is the one category where a cheaper item is often a genuinely different product rather than the same product at a better price.

Where is the rest of the glassware and its accessories on this site?

Some glassware and most of the accessories sit outside this category. Until the catalogue is consolidated, search by product name as well as by category, or send the item name and we will locate it.

Reagent, dispensing and laboratory bottles in clear and amber borosilicate glass, together with a burette, a measuring cylinder and volumetric flasks with and without stoppers, are listed underLab Glassware within Laboratory Equipment Supplies. Stands, clamps, tongs, retort stands and magnetic stirrers are underLab Equipment. Plastic equivalents — beakers, cylinders, conical flasks, funnels, wash bottles and dropping bottles in PP, PMP, HDPE and polystyrene — are underLab Plasticware. Porcelain crucibles, basins and mortars are underPorcelain Ware. Prepared microscope slides and slide handling are underBiology Lab Equipment.

How is the range quoted, paid for and shipped?

By quotation — there is no online checkout. Send an item list or product codes by email, quotation request or website query, and invoice, shipping and export documents are issued on confirmation.

Small trial orders and large institutional or tender orders are both accepted, and samples are available before a bulk order is confirmed. Payment is by bank transfer (TT) or Letter of Credit, with PayPal accepted for samples. Glassware is stated to ship in shockproof, foam-lined export cartons. The manufacturer states delivery times of 7–10 days to Asia, 15–25 days to Europe, Africa and the Middle East, and 25–35 days to the Americas — confirm timing and freight mode for your destination on the quotation. OEM and ODM branding, packaging and labelling are available for distributors, and after-sales support covers technical assistance, spare parts and warranty.

Frequently asked questions

What does the Lab Glassware range cover?

Fourteen sub-ranges: flasks, burettes, pipettes with volumetric flasks and measuring cylinders, test tubes and thermometer pockets, specimen tubes and vials, staining jars, two funnel ranges, soda watch glasses, stirrers, spirit burners, a voltameter, and two ranges of joints, caps, stoppers and stopcocks. Availability and specifications are confirmed per line on quotation.

Is all your glassware borosilicate?

No — and you should ask per line rather than assume. Borosilicate is the right choice for anything heated or thermally cycled; soda-lime is appropriate and cheaper for covering, storage and cold work, and the watch glasses in this range are listed as soda glass. Request the glass type against each item on the quotation.

What tolerance class is your volumetric glassware?

Ask for the class and the stated tolerance per item at quotation stage. For volumetric flasks, burettes, bulb pipettes and measuring cylinders the tolerance class is the specification that matters, and a capacity on its own does not describe the item. If your tender or accredited work requires conformity documentation, request that at the same time.

How do I make sure joints and stoppers fit my existing glassware?

Send the joint or thread sizes you already use with your enquiry. The Screwthreads, Discs and Joints and the Screw Caps, Stoppers and Stopcocks sub-ranges cover connecting and sealing components, and these only work if the size matches — so confirm sizes on the quotation rather than ordering by description alone.

Do you supply plastic equivalents?

Yes, in a separate category. Beakers, measuring cylinders, conical flasks, funnels, wash bottles, dropping bottles and reagent bottles in polypropylene, PMP/TPX, HDPE and polystyrene are listed under Lab Plasticware. Plastic is not a substitute for glass where heating or solvents are involved, so specify by intended use rather than by price.

How is glassware packed and shipped?

Glassware is stated to ship in shockproof, foam-lined export cartons. Delivery times are stated as 7–10 days to Asia, 15–25 days to Europe, Africa and the Middle East, and 25–35 days to the Americas; confirm timing and freight mode for your destination on the quotation. Order a breakage replacement allowance with an initial fit-out rather than reordering single items later.
