Plain

<h2 data-section-id="f3j9hk" data-start="153" data-end="189">What Are Plain Microscope Slides?</h2>
&nbsp;
Plain microscope slides are flat, untreated glass surfaces in the standard 25&times;75 mm format, approximately 1 mm thick, with no frosted end, no labeling surface, and no surface coating. They are the default slide for routine laboratory microscopy where specimen labeling is managed separately through adhesive labels, slide label printers, or laboratory information systems. Globe Scientific Diamond White Glass plain slides are pre-cleaned and manufactured under ISO 9001:2015 standards. Choose plain slides for high-volume routine applications such as H&amp;E staining, Gram staining, and blood smear preparation where cost per slide is important and specimen identification is managed through a separate labeling system.

&nbsp;
Plain vs. Frosted: When Each Applies
Plain slides are a cost-effective option for laboratories that use adhesive barcode labels, LIS-generated labels, or external specimen-tracking systems. Frosted-end slides are better suited to workflows where technicians write directly on the slide using pencil or permanent marker. Laboratories using both automated and manual labeling systems often keep both plain and frosted slides in stock.
Edge Style: 90&deg; Ground vs. Beveled
Slides with 90&deg; ground edges are the standard choice for manual handling and compatibility with most staining racks. Beveled-edge slides feature 45&deg; safety corners that help reduce cut risk during handling and are often preferred for automated slide printers and slide-loading systems.
Glass Grade and Optical Quality
Globe Scientific Diamond White Glass plain slides are manufactured from optical-quality glass that offers higher light transmission than standard soda-lime glass. This helps reduce background color tint and improve image clarity in brightfield microscopy. Pre-cleaned slides also minimize particulate contamination that can appear as unwanted artifacts during microscopic examination.
Packaging: Box vs. Bulk Case
Plain slides are typically packaged 72 per box and are also available in bulk cases of 1,440 slides. Bulk purchasing reduces per-slide cost and minimizes reordering requirements for high-volume laboratories.

&nbsp;
Globe Scientific Diamond White Glass plain microscope slides are 25&times;75 mm, approximately 1 mm thick, manufactured from optical-quality glass and supplied pre-cleaned. They are available with either 90&deg; ground edges or 45&deg; beveled safety corners. Because plain slides have no surface charge or coating, they are suitable for routine wet mounts, dried smears, cryosection placement, and standard staining procedures where enhanced tissue adhesion is not required. For immunohistochemistry (IHC), heat-induced antigen retrieval (HIER), or frozen section applications, positively charged slides are recommended.&nbsp;MBP stocks plain microscope slides in both standard and bulk case quantities.&nbsp;

Color Coded

<h2 data-section-id="nkwuob" data-start="0" data-end="42">What Are Color-Coded Microscope Slides?</h2>
&nbsp;
Color-coded microscope slides are standard 25 &times; 75 mm glass slides with a permanently tinted frosted end in a specific color, such as blue, green, pink, yellow, white, or orange at MBP. Additional colors, including aqua, red, and lavender, are also available in the Globe Scientific Diamond White Glass range. The color is embedded directly into the frosted-end material, making it chemically resistant and stable through common histology processing steps such as alcohol dehydration, xylene clearing, and aqueous staining.
These slides are used to improve workflow organization by preventing sample mix-ups and allowing rapid visual identification of specimen batches, tissue types, or staining runs.

<h2 data-section-id="z8hs4e" data-start="748" data-end="794">How to Choose Color-Coded Microscope Slides</h2>
&nbsp;
Frosted End: Standard vs Color-Coded
Standard frosted-end slides provide a plain writable surface for pencil or marker labeling. Color-coded frosted slides add a visible color layer on the frosted end, making it easier to identify samples from a distance or during high-throughput workflow conditions such as staining or sorting. Both versions are supplied as Globe Scientific Diamond White Glass slides, pre-cleaned and ready to use.
Workflow-Based Color Assignment
Colors can be assigned based on laboratory workflow requirements, such as separating tissue types, patient batches, or staining protocols. For example, some laboratories use blue for routine H&amp;E cases, yellow for cytology specimens, and pink for special stains. The key requirement is consistency&mdash;once a color is assigned to a category, it should remain fixed to avoid identification errors. In high-volume labs processing large numbers of slides per day, color coding significantly reduces manual sorting time compared with reading individual labels.
Glass Quality and Physical Specifications
All MBP color-coded slides are manufactured from Globe Scientific Diamond White Glass under ISO 9001:2015 quality standards. They are supplied pre-cleaned and require no additional washing before use. Standard dimensions are 25 &times; 75 mm with approximately 1 mm thickness. Edge options include 90&deg; ground edges or 45&deg; beveled safety corners depending on handling preference and safety requirements.
Packaging and Ordering
Color-coded microscope slides are typically packaged in boxes of 72 slides. Case quantities are available for institutional and high-volume laboratory purchasing. Because availability may vary by color, labs are advised to confirm stock before placing bulk or purchase order (PO) requests.

PCR Tubes

<h2 data-path-to-node="1"> What Are PCR Tube Racks?</h2>
 PCR tube racks are polypropylene holders that maintain 0.2 mL PCR tubes and strip tubes in a stable 8&times;12 (96-position) upright array during reaction setup, pre-PCR storage, and post-amplification handling. They stabilise tubes during multichannel pipetting, prevent tip deflection when dispensing with an 8-channel pipette, and serve as organisational tools for pre- and post-PCR sample management. Most racks accept both individual 0.2 mL tubes and 8-strip or 12-strip tubes in the same 96-well footprint.&nbsp;
&nbsp;
<h2 data-path-to-node="2">What you will find:</h2>

 Well Diameter and Tube Compatibility Standard 96-well PCR racks have a 5.2 mm well diameter, compatible with most 0.2 mL thin-wall PCR tubes from Globe Scientific, Nest Scientific, Axygen/Corning, Eppendorf, and equivalent brands. Confirm the collar diameter of your specific tube brand before ordering if using non-standard tube geometry. Lid: Hinged Flat vs Translucent Cover vs No Lid Hinged flat lids lie flush when open for unobstructed pipette access; the lid can be closed to protect tubes during incubation or transport. Translucent polycarbonate lids allow visual sample inspection without lid removal &mdash; useful for barcode readers that scan through the cover. Lidless racks are the simplest format for bench use, where brief sample exposure is acceptable. Colour Coding Racks are available in single colours (blue, green, pink, yellow, orange) and assorted multi-colour packs. Colour-coded racks help segregate pre-PCR and post-PCR samples, reducing cross-contamination risk in labs without fully separated pre/post-PCR workspaces. Autoclavability Polypropylene PCR tube racks are autoclavable at 121&deg;C (250&deg;F) for sterilisation between use cycles. Polycarbonate lids withstand repeated autoclave cycles at standard sterilisation conditions. SBS Footprint for Automation Select PCR strip racks with an SBS/SLAS-compliant footprint (127.76 &times; 85.47 mm) to enable use with robotic liquid handlers and automated workstations when processing strip tubes on automation platforms.

PCR Tube Racks

<h2 dir="ltr"> What Are 8-Strip PCR Tubes?</h2>
 8-strip PCR tubes are a connected row of eight individual thin-wall polypropylene tubes supplied as a single unit, designed for simultaneous processing of eight reactions per strip. The strip format accommodates multichannel pipettes at standard 9 mm well spacing, reducing setup time compared to handling individual tubes one at a time. Available in 0.2 mL for standard thermal cycler blocks and 0.1 mL for fast-block or low-profile instruments. Caps are available attached (dome or flat) or as separate cap strips for labs that prefer independent tube and cap management. 8-strip tubes are the most efficient manual format for 8- or 16-sample PCR batches &mdash; choose 0.2 mL for standard blocks, 0.1 mL for fast-block cyclers.

<h2 dir="ltr"> How to Choose 8-Strip PCR Tubes</h2>
 Volume: 0.2 mL vs 0.1 mL Standard 0.2 mL strips fit conventional tall-block cyclers, including Bio-Rad T100, Eppendorf Mastercycler, and Applied Biosystems Veriti. Low-profile 0.1 mL strips are required for fast-block instruments such as the Applied Biosystems StepOnePlus, Bio-Rad CFX96 Fast, and Roche LightCycler 480, where the shallower well reduces thermal equilibration time and supports faster cycling protocols. Cap Style: Dome vs Flat, Optical vs Separate Cap Strip Attached dome caps are the standard choice for endpoint PCR, where no fluorescence is read through the cap lid. Flat optically clear attached caps &mdash; or separately purchased optical cap strips &mdash; are required for real-time qPCR when detection occurs through the top of the tube; dome caps attenuate fluorescence and compromise Ct consistency. Separate cap strips offer flexibility to mix dome and flat caps on the same strip. Attached vs Separate Caps Attached caps prevent cap mix-ups and reduce handling steps in high-throughput setups. Separate cap strips (tube strip + cap strip sold together in the same bag) allow independent tube loading and cap seating &mdash; preferred when using automated liquid handlers or when labelling the cap exterior is important. Colour Options Clear strips are standard; assorted colour packs (clear, red, yellow, blue, green) allow colour-coded sample tracking. White polypropylene strips increase qPCR fluorescence signal in bottom-read optical configurations by reflecting emission back through the detector. Strip Rigidity Split-apart strips (perforated between tubes) allow individual tubes to be broken off from the strip &mdash; useful when fewer than 8 reactions are needed and waste reduction matters. 
<h2 dir="ltr"> Specifications Context</h2>
 8-strip tube walls are typically 0.25&ndash;0.35 mm thick virgin polypropylene free of additives, antistatic agents, and dyes. Certified DNase-free, RNase-free, human DNA-free, and PCR inhibitor-free per independent lot testing. Standard packs contain 120 strips (960 reactions) for 0.2 mL format; 0.1 mL packs are often 120 strips as well. As of 2026, Axygen (Corning) PCR-0208-C and equivalent Globe Scientific formats are widely distributed through North American channels.&nbsp;

Multi-Channel Pipettors

<h2 dir="ltr">What Are Multi-Channel Pipettors?</h2>
 A multi-channel pipettor contains 8 or 12 piston-tip cone assemblies arranged in a single row at 9 mm centre-to-centre spacing &mdash; matching the well spacing of standard 96-well plates &mdash; allowing an operator to simultaneously dispense into an entire plate row (12-channel) or column (8-channel) with a single plunger depression. This reduces the time to fill a 96-well plate from ~96 individual dispenses to 12 (8-channel) or 8 (12-channel). For 384-well plates, 16-channel models or adjustable-spacing multichannel pipettors accommodate the 4.5 mm inter-well spacing. Multi-channel pipettors are the standard instrument for ELISA plate loading, serial dilution across 96-well plates, PCR master-mix dispensing, and cell-based assay setup. An 8-channel pipettor fills a 96-well plate in 12 strokes; a 12-channel pipettor fills it in 8 &mdash; choose based on whether your workflow is row-based or column-based.

<h2 dir="ltr"> How to Choose a Multi-Channel Pipettor</h2>
 8-Channel vs 12-Channel 8-channel pipettors (8 rows) are used when working column-by-column across a 96-well plate &mdash; the standard for PCR setup, ELISA, and serial dilutions where samples run down columns. 12-channel pipettors (12 columns) are used when filling row-by-row, common for reagent dispensing from reservoirs across all 12 columns simultaneously. Both configurations dispense the same 96 wells per plate but in different orientations. Volume Range Common multi-channel volume ranges: 0.5&ndash;10 &micro;L (for low-volume PCR or sequencing), 5&ndash;50 &micro;L, 10&ndash;100 &micro;L, and 20&ndash;200 &micro;L (the most widely used range for ELISA and cell-based assays), and 30&ndash;300 &micro;L. Select the range that places your most frequent dispense volume at 50&ndash;80% of the maximum for best accuracy. Manual vs Electronic Manual multi-channel pipettors (Eppendorf Research Plus Multichannel, Gilson PIPETMAN Multichannel) require no battery and are field-calibratable. Electronic multi-channel pipettors (Eppendorf Xplorer Multichannel, Rainin Pipet-Lite L8 LTS Electronic) add programmable speed, multi-dispense mode, and reduced plunger force &mdash; particularly valuable for high-throughput plate workflows. Tip Compatibility Multi-channel pipettors use the same tip collar geometry as single-channel models: standard conical for Eppendorf Research Plus and Gilson PIPETMAN (universal-fit 8-strip tips); LTS cylindrical for Rainin L8/L12 LTS (LTS 8-strip tips). Confirm tip format matches the multichannel instrument before ordering tip strips. Adjustable Tip Spacing Eppendorf Research Plus Move It and equivalent adjustable-spacing models allow spacing between channels to be set to 4, 6, 8, or 12 mm &mdash; enabling use with 24-well, 48-well, and 384-well plate formats without a dedicated instrument for each format. 
<h2 dir="ltr"> Specifications Context</h2>
 Multi-channel pipettors are subject to ISO 8655 Part 6 (multichannel piston-operated volumetric instruments). Standard accuracy specification for a 200 &micro;L 8-channel model is &plusmn;1.5 &micro;L systematic error; inter-channel CV should be &le;1.0% to ensure well-to-well reproducibility in plate-based assays. Autoclavable lower sections are standard on Eppendorf Research Plus and Gilson PIPETMAN multichannel models. Eppendorf Research Plus Multichannel and Rainin Pipet-Lite L8/L12 LTS remain the dominant manual multichannel platforms in North American research labs.&nbsp;

Single Channel Pipettors

<h2 dir="ltr">What Are Single-Channel Pipettors?</h2>
 A single-channel pipettor is the single most widely used liquid handling instrument in molecular biology, cell biology, and clinical research. It transfers precise volumes between 0.1 &micro;L and 5,000 &micro;L, one well or tube at a time, using an air-displacement piston mechanism. The piston creates a partial vacuum that aspirates liquid into a disposable tip; advancing the piston fully dispenses the liquid. A spring-loaded tip ejector releases the used tip without hand contact for contamination control. Manual models depend on finger force and offer simple, battery-free operation; electronic models add programmable aspiration/dispensing speeds, multi-dispense modes, and up to 5 custom pipetting programs.&nbsp; A set of four manual single-channel pipettors (P10, P20, P200, P1000) covers 95% of molecular biology liquid handling; add electronic models for high-throughput repetitive work.

<h2 dir="ltr"> How to Choose a Single-Channel Pipettor</h2>
 Volume Range: Build a Complete Bench Set A standard four-pipettor bench set covers P10 (1&ndash;10 &micro;L), P20 (2&ndash;20 &micro;L), P200 (20&ndash;200 &micro;L), and P1000 (100&ndash;1,000 &micro;L). For sub-microliter work (sequencing, single-cell), add a P2 (0.2&ndash;2 &micro;L). For large-volume dispensing (media prep, column loading), add a P5000 (1,000&ndash;5,000 &micro;L). Avoid selecting a volume range that places your target dispense below 20% of the maximum &mdash; accuracy degrades at the low end of any range. Manual vs Electronic Manual single-channel pipettors (Eppendorf Research Plus, Gilson PIPETMAN Classic, Rainin Pipet-Lite XLS+) are the standard for routine lab work: field-calibratable, autoclavable, and requiring no power source. Electronic single-channel pipettors (Eppendorf Research Pro, Rainin Pipet-Lite XLS+ Electronic) add: programmable aspiration/dispense speed (5 speeds), multi-dispense (repeat pipetting) mode, mix mode, dilution mode, and backlight LCD volume display. Electronic models reduce hand fatigue in workflows exceeding 200&ndash;300 tip changes per day. Tip Compatibility Three tip systems cover the market: standard conical (universal fit &mdash; fits Eppendorf Research Plus, Gilson PIPETMAN, Rainin non-LTS, Thermo, Sartorius/BioHit); Rainin LTS cylindrical (requires LTS-specific tips &mdash; lower force insertion); Eppendorf epT.I.P.S. proprietary (tightest fit for Eppendorf instruments). Select the tip system that matches your pipettor purchase and existing tip inventory before committing to a brand. Autoclavability and Chemical Resistance Manual pipettors from Eppendorf, Gilson, and Rainin have fully autoclavable lower sections (121&deg;C, 15 psi, 15 min). Electronic pipettors have autoclavable nose cones only &mdash; the electronic module cannot be autoclaved. Calibration and Service All single-channel pipettors are factory-calibrated per ISO 8655. Field recalibration tools are available for Eppendorf, Gilson, and Rainin to perform in-lab gravimetric verification without external service. 
<h2 dir="ltr"> Specifications Context </h2>
 ISO 8655 Part 2 accuracy spec for a 200 &micro;L air-displacement pipettor: &plusmn;0.8 &micro;L systematic error, &le;0.3 &micro;L random error (Eppendorf Research Plus specification at 200 &micro;L). Most manual pipettors weigh 70&ndash;120 g; electronic models weigh 150&ndash;220 g. Operating temperature range: typically 15&ndash;40&deg;C. Eppendorf Research Plus, Gilson PIPETMAN Classic, and Rainin Pipet-Lite XLS+ LTS remain the three dominant single-channel pipettor platforms in North American research labs.&nbsp;

Narrow Mouth Bottles

<h2 data-section-id="6wvx9q" data-start="0" data-end="44">What Are Narrow Mouth Laboratory Bottles?</h2>
&nbsp;
Narrow-mouth laboratory bottles are storage containers designed with a small neck opening, typically between 18 mm and 38 mm in diameter. This design allows for controlled pouring, minimizes evaporation, reduces contamination risk, and helps limit vapor loss when storing volatile liquids. The most common narrow-mouth bottle style is the Boston round, which features a cylindrical body, rounded shoulders, and a threaded neck that provides excellent durability and efficient liquid handling. Globe Scientific Diamond RealSeal narrow-mouth bottles are available in HDPE, LDPE, and polypropylene (PP) materials, with capacities ranging from 4 mL to 8 L. Amber HDPE versions are also available for storing light-sensitive chemicals and reagents. For most laboratory applications, HDPE remains the preferred material due to its excellent chemical resistance and low extractables, while PP is selected when autoclaving is required.

<h2 data-section-id="1xrkoag" data-start="975" data-end="1012">How to Choose Narrow Mouth Bottles</h2>
&nbsp;
Material Selection
HDPE is the standard choice for general laboratory reagent storage because it offers broad chemical compatibility, excellent durability, and resistance to low temperatures. LDPE provides similar chemical resistance but with greater flexibility, making small bottles easier to squeeze and pour. Polypropylene bottles are suitable for applications requiring sterilization, as they can withstand autoclaving at 121&deg;C. Amber HDPE bottles are recommended for photosensitive compounds because they reduce exposure to UV and visible light that may degrade sensitive materials.
Volume Requirements
Small-volume bottles from 4 mL to 30 mL are commonly used for standards, reference materials, working solutions, and sample transport. Medium-sized bottles ranging from 60 mL to 500 mL are ideal for routine laboratory reagents, buffers, and water samples. Larger formats from 1 L to 8 L are typically used for bulk reagent storage, field sampling, media preparation, and industrial laboratory applications where larger quantities of liquid must be stored safely.
Closure Compatibility
Closure size is an important consideration when selecting narrow-mouth bottles. Smaller bottles typically use 18 mm closures, medium bottles commonly use 24 mm or 28 mm closures, and larger bottles use 38 mm closures. Using the correct cap size ensures a proper seal and prevents leaks, evaporation, and thread damage caused by mismatched closures.
Diamond RealSeal vs. Diamond Essentials
Diamond RealSeal bottles are supplied with attached caps and are individually packaged to provide convenience and consistent quality. Diamond Essentials bottles are designed for high-volume users and are supplied in bulk packaging, with bottles and caps packaged separately. Laboratories processing large numbers of samples often choose the Diamond Essentials range to reduce packaging costs while maintaining the same bottle performance.

Wide Mouth Bottles

<h2 data-section-id="dscteu" data-start="0" data-end="42">What Are Wide Mouth Laboratory Bottles?</h2>
&nbsp;
Wide-mouth laboratory bottles are storage containers designed with a broad neck opening, typically ranging from 38 mm to 63 mm in diameter, allowing easy filling, dispensing, and cleaning. Their large opening makes them ideal for handling powders, granules, viscous liquids, biological samples, and other materials that are difficult to transfer through narrow-neck containers. Globe Scientific Diamond RealSeal wide-mouth bottles are available in several materials, including HDPE, polypropylene (PP), LDPE, and PETG, each suited to different laboratory applications. HDPE bottles offer excellent chemical resistance and low-temperature performance, PP bottles provide autoclavability, LDPE bottles offer flexibility, and PETG bottles are commonly used for sterile media storage. For laboratories requiring maximum storage efficiency and sterilization capability, PP square wide-mouth bottles are often the preferred option because they are autoclavable and utilize shelf space more effectively than round bottles.

&nbsp;
Round vs. Square Design
Round wide-mouth bottles are the traditional laboratory format and fit easily into standard storage racks and holders. Their curved interior walls help reduce material retention during dispensing and cleaning. Square bottles maximize storage efficiency by reducing unused space between containers on shelves and inside refrigerators. They also provide flat surfaces for labels, making identification easier and improving label adhesion. Laboratories managing large inventories often favor square bottles for their superior space utilization.
Material and Temperature Requirements
HDPE wide-mouth bottles are suitable for general-purpose chemical, reagent, and sample storage. They offer broad chemical compatibility and can be used in low-temperature environments, including standard laboratory freezers and many ultra-low temperature applications. Polypropylene wide-mouth bottles are the preferred choice when sterilization is required, as they can be autoclaved at 121&deg;C without deformation. LDPE bottles provide flexibility and are useful when gentle squeezing or easy handling is beneficial, although they are not intended for autoclaving. PETG bottles combine excellent clarity with durability and are commonly selected for sterile media preparation and storage.
Amber Bottles for Light-Sensitive Materials
Amber wide-mouth bottles help protect photosensitive materials from UV and visible light exposure. They are commonly used for storing light-sensitive powders, chemicals, biological reagents, and pharmaceutical compounds. When long-term light protection is required, amber HDPE bottles provide an effective and economical storage solution.
Volume Selection
Smaller bottles in the 30&ndash;60 mL range are ideal for standards, reference materials, and small sample aliquots. Mid-size bottles between 125 mL and 500 mL are commonly used for working reagents, buffers, and routine laboratory materials. Larger bottles ranging from 1 L to 2 L are suitable for bulk powders, stock solutions, and frequently accessed laboratory reagents.

Graduated Cylinders

<h2>What Are Graduated Cylinders?</h2>
&nbsp;
Graduated cylinders are tall, narrow borosilicate glass or polymer vessels calibrated with multiple volume graduation marks, used to measure liquid volumes at bench scale &mdash; more accurately than beakers (&plusmn;5% capacity) but less accurately than volumetric flasks (&plusmn;0.05&ndash;0.1% capacity). They are the everyday volumetric tool in chemistry, biology, and clinical labs for measuring reagent volumes, preparing buffer dilutions, and transferring liquids where a precise but not analytically exact volume is required. Class A borosilicate glass graduated cylinders at MBP conform to ASTM E1272 / ISO 4788 tolerances.&nbsp;Choose Class A cylinders for applications where stated volume accuracy matters; choose Class B for routine measurements where a fast approximate reading is sufficient.

&nbsp;
<h2>How to Choose Graduated Cylinders</h2>
&nbsp;
Class A vs. Class B
Class A graduated cylinders conform to ASTM E1272 / ISO 4788 Class A tolerances &mdash; e.g., &plusmn;0.5 mL for a 100 mL cylinder, &plusmn;2.0 mL for a 1,000 mL cylinder. Class B tolerances are twice as wide as Class A. Class A cylinders are appropriate for protocols specifying cylinder-grade volume accuracy; Class B for routine lab measurements where tight tolerances are not required.
Single Scale vs. Dual Scale (mL/oz)
Single-scale cylinders are marked in mL only &mdash; cleaner graduation lines, easier to read, preferred for labs working exclusively in metric units. Dual-scale cylinders carry both mL and oz markings, useful in labs operating across metric and US customary units or for customer-facing applications requiring oz notation.
Autoclavable Glass vs. Plastic
Borosilicate glass graduated cylinders are autoclavable at 121&deg;C, resistant to all common lab reagents, and reusable indefinitely with careful handling. PP plastic cylinders are shatterproof and autoclavable at 121&deg;C but are not suitable for organic solvents or high heat above 135&deg;C.
Size and Base Type
Common sizes: 10 mL, 25 mL, 50 mL, 100 mL, 250 mL, 500 mL, 1,000 mL, and 2,000 mL. Hexagonal bases provide better bench stability than round bases &mdash; important in high-traffic labs where tip-over risk is a concern.
&nbsp;
<h2>Specifications Context</h2>
&nbsp;
Borosilicate glass graduated cylinders conforming to ASTM E1272 / ISO 4788 are calibrated "to contain" (TC) the stated volume &mdash; the mark indicates the volume held in the cylinder, not delivered from it (Class A volumetric flasks are also TC). Reading technique: for aqueous solutions in glass, read the bottom of the curved meniscus at eye level to eliminate parallax error. Borosilicate 3.3 has a strain point of 515&deg;C; autoclave tolerance is 121&deg;C for standard sterilisation cycles. As of June 2026, MBP stocks Class A and Class B graduated cylinders in single and dual-scale formats for labs in the US, Canada, and worldwide.
