Griffin Style Beaker

<h2 data-section-id="1sg16rn" data-start="114" data-end="148">What Are Griffin Style Beakers?</h2>
&nbsp;
Griffin style beakers are low-form cylindrical vessels with a height-to-diameter ratio of approximately 1.0:1.4 &mdash; shorter and wider than tall-form (Berzelius) beakers &mdash; designed for stable stirring on a magnetic stir plate, heating on a hot plate, and general reagent handling on the bench. The flat base provides maximum contact with hot-plate surfaces for uniform heating; the wide opening allows easy reagent addition, thermometer insertion, and stirring access. Borosilicate glass Griffin beakers at MBP conform to ASTM E960. Griffin style is the default beaker for most bench workflows; choose tall-form (Berzelius) only when a tall liquid column is required for distillation or titration setups.

&nbsp;
Size Selection
MBP stocks Griffin style beakers from 10 mL to 5,000 mL. Common bench sizes include 50 mL and 100 mL for small-scale reactions and staining, 250 mL for routine buffer work, 1,000 mL for media or reagent preparation, and 2,000 mL for larger-volume batches. As a general guideline, beakers should be filled to no more than two-thirds of their nominal capacity when heating to allow for liquid expansion and prevent boil-over.
Graduation: Molded vs. Printed
Molded graduations are permanently embossed into the glass and are resistant to solvents, autoclaving, and repeated cleaning cycles. Printed dual-scale graduations provide higher contrast for quick bench reading but may fade over time with repeated autoclaving or exposure to aggressive solvents.
Borosilicate Glass
Griffin style beakers at MBP are made from borosilicate glass, which is resistant to acids, bases, alcohols, and most organic solvents, and is autoclavable at 121&deg;C. Its low thermal expansion coefficient (~3.3&times;10⁻⁶/K) helps prevent cracking during rapid heating or cooling.
Case Pack Availability
High-volume laboratories can order Griffin style beakers in case packs to reduce per-unit cost. Case pricing varies by size and is available upon request from MBP.
&nbsp;
<h2 data-section-id="1jl751w" data-start="2883" data-end="2908">Specifications Context</h2>
&nbsp;
Griffin style (low form) glass beakers conform to ASTM E960 with graduation accuracy of &plusmn;5% of total capacity. The low height-to-diameter ratio provides greater stability than tall-form beakers on stirrers and hot plates. Borosilicate glass is inert to HCl, H₂SO₄, HNO₃, CH₃COOH, NaOH, acetone, ethanol, methanol, and xylene. Hydrofluoric acid (HF) must not be used with glass as it dissolves silica-based materials. These beakers are suitable for autoclaving at 121&deg;C (wet cycle) and dry-heat sterilisation up to 500&deg;C.

Microscope Accessories

<h2>What Are Microscope Accessories?</h2>
&nbsp;
Microscope accessories are supplementary components that configure, upgrade, or expand the function of a base microscope beyond its standard out-of-the-box specification. They fall into several categories: imaging accessories (cameras, camera adapters, camera relay lenses) for digital image capture and video documentation; optical accessories (additional or replacement objective lenses, eyepieces, auxiliary objectives for stereo microscopes) that change magnification or improve optical quality; fluorescence accessories (filter cube sets, LED fluorescence modules, mercury lamp adapters, UV/visible filter wheels) for adding or expanding fluorescence capability; stage accessories (multiwell plate holders, slide holders, cross-roller stages, motorized XY stage inserts, focus drives) that expand sample handling; illumination accessories (fiber optic illuminators, ring lights, polarizers, dark-field condensers) for alternative contrast methods; and maintenance and consumable accessories (immersion oil, lens paper, slide cleaning kits, replacement illuminator bulbs). Because accessory designs are instrument-specific (not all cameras, objectives, or stage inserts are universally compatible), identify the microscope model and manufacturer before ordering any accessory. Always identify the exact microscope model and manufacturer before ordering any accessory; thread standards, bayonet mounts, tube lengths, and connector formats vary significantly between brands and generations.

&nbsp;
<h2>How to Choose Microscope Accessories</h2>
&nbsp;
Digital cameras and adapters
Microscope cameras attach to the trinocular port (or monocular camera port on some models) via a C-mount camera adapter with an integrated relay lens. The relay lens magnification (typically 0.35x, 0.5x, or 1x) determines the effective field of view on the camera sensor. Choose a CMOS camera with 5 to 20 megapixels for brightfield documentation and routine fluorescence; scientific CMOS (sCMOS) or cooled CCD cameras for low-light fluorescence quantification. Confirm the camera software is compatible with the microscope's control software (if motorized).
Objective lenses
Replacement or additional objectives must match the microscope's objective thread standard and tube length (160 mm finite or infinity-corrected). Never mix finite-optics and infinity-corrected objectives on the same nosepiece; the image-forming properties are incompatible. Plan-apochromat objectives in the same brand family as the microscope are the safest choice for optical performance and parfocality with the existing objective set.
Fluorescence filter cube sets
Fluorescence filter cubes contain an excitation bandpass filter, a dichroic mirror, and an emission bandpass filter, which are the three components that define which fluorescent dye or protein is imaged. Common filter sets: DAPI (Ex 360/40, Di 400LP, Em 460/50); FITC/GFP (Ex 470/40, Di 495LP, Em 525/50); TRITC/mCherry (Ex 550/25, Di 565LP, Em 605/70); Cy5 (Ex 620/60, Di 660LP, Em 700/75). Confirm the cube block type (Olympus U-MF2, Nikon B-2A, Zeiss 38HE, or other) matches the filter cube turret of the specific microscope model.
Stage inserts and sample holders
Stage inserts expand sample compatibility: multiwell plate holders (96-well, 384-well, 6-well) for high-content imaging; glass-bottom dish holders for live-cell imaging with oil-immersion objectives; slide holder adapters for larger or smaller slide formats; and universal stage inserts for non-standard containers. Confirm the stage insert dimensions match the microscope's mechanical stage cutout and that the height profile is compatible with the condenser working distance for transmitted illumination.
LED fluorescence modules
LED fluorescence modules replace or augment mercury arc lamps in the fluorescence port of existing microscopes, providing individual LED channels for DAPI, GFP, TRITC, and Cy5 excitation. LED upgrades are available as bolt-on add-ons for many research-grade inverted and upright microscopes and significantly extend the fluorescence illumination service life from 200 to 300 hours (mercury) to 50,000+ hours (LED). Confirm the LED module's mounting standard and control interface (USB, TTL, or software-triggered) is compatible with the microscope.
&nbsp;
<h2>Specifications Context</h2>
&nbsp;
Immersion oil for oil-immersion microscopy must match the refractive index for which the objective is designed; standard immersion oil has a refractive index of 1.515 at 23 degrees C (per ASTM and DIN standards). Using oils with different refractive indices introduces spherical aberration. Viscosity matters for the application: low-viscosity oils (Type A, 150 mPas) spread easily and are used for fast scanning; high-viscosity oils (Type B, 1250 mPas) resist creep at elevated stage temperatures. Clean all residual immersion oil from objectives immediately after each use with lens tissue dampened with appropriate lens cleaning solution; dried immersion oil is difficult to remove and can permanently damage the objective coating.&nbsp;

Storage Boxes & Racks

<h2 data-section-id="1hv97bw" data-start="0" data-end="47">What Are Laboratory Storage Boxes and Racks?</h2>
&nbsp;
Laboratory storage boxes and racks are essential organizational systems used to store, organize, and protect cryogenic vials, microcentrifuge tubes, centrifuge tubes, and microscope slides across freezers, cold rooms, and benchtop environments. Storage boxes are typically lidded, grid-based containers used for long-term sample organization in ultra-low temperature conditions, while racks are open-frame supports used for active handling during laboratory workflows such as pipetting, vortexing, and reaction setup.
Cryogenic storage boxes are commonly designed to hold 81 vials (9&times;9 format) or 100 vials (10&times;10 format), and are compatible with storage conditions ranging from &ndash;196 &deg;C in liquid nitrogen vapor phase to +121 &deg;C for autoclave sterilization (depending on material). Tube racks, on the other hand, provide stable upright positioning of tubes during active benchwork and are not primarily intended for long-term freezer storage.

&nbsp;
<h2 data-section-id="flyrii" data-start="1159" data-end="1199">How to Choose Storage Boxes and Racks</h2>
&nbsp;
Vial Format and Capacity
The first selection criterion is compatibility with tube size and grid layout. The most common format is the 81-place (9&times;9) box designed for 1.0&ndash;2.0 mL cryovials. Smaller or specialized formats may accommodate 5 mL tubes or different vial diameters depending on grid spacing. Proper matching ensures secure fit, easy retrieval, and consistent sample organization in high-density storage systems.
Temperature Range
Material selection determines allowable storage conditions. Polycarbonate cryogenic boxes are the most versatile, supporting temperatures from liquid nitrogen levels (&ndash;196 &deg;C) through &ndash;80 &deg;C freezer storage and up to autoclave sterilization at +121 &deg;C. Cardboard freezer boxes with moisture-resistant coating are designed for economical freezer storage and can withstand ultra-low temperatures, but they are not suitable for autoclaving or long-term moisture exposure.
Tube Rack Materials and Use
Polypropylene racks are widely used because they are autoclavable and chemically resistant, making them suitable for sterile workflows. ABS and polystyrene racks provide lower-cost alternatives for general laboratory bench use but are not designed for autoclave conditions. For freezer organization, stainless steel racks are often used to hold multiple cryoboxes within &ndash;80 &deg;C upright freezer systems, improving accessibility and spatial organization.
Slide Storage Boxes
Microscope slide storage boxes are designed to protect standard 25 &times; 75 mm slides. They are available in 25-, 50-, and 100-slide capacities. Polypropylene versions are autoclavable and suitable for sterilized workflows, while fiberboard or ABS versions are typically used for room-temperature archival storage and transport.
Color Coding and Sample Identification
Color-coded storage boxes are widely used in biobanking and high-throughput laboratories to quickly differentiate sample groups without opening boxes or reading labels at freezer temperatures. Common systems include multiple lid colors paired with alphanumeric grids inside the box, enabling precise sample tracking and retrieval in large inventories.
&nbsp;
<h2 data-section-id="1jl751w" data-start="4067" data-end="4092">Specifications Context</h2>
&nbsp;
Modern polycarbonate cryogenic storage boxes are engineered for extreme temperature stability, typically rated from &ndash;196 &deg;C to +121 &deg;C, allowing use across liquid nitrogen vapor phase storage, &ndash;80 &deg;C freezers, and autoclave sterilization cycles. Cardboard freezer boxes are coated to resist moisture ingress and are optimized for cost-efficient high-density storage in ultra-low temperature environments.
The 81-place (9&times;9 grid) polycarbonate cryobox remains the standard format in most biorepositories and clinical research facilities due to its compatibility with SBS footprint freezer systems and automated inventory tracking workflows. These systems are widely used in genomics, cell banking, and pharmaceutical research environments.

Weighing Dishes & Boats

<h2 data-section-id="4vlupf" data-start="410" data-end="461">What Are Laboratory Weighing Dishes and Funnels?</h2>
&nbsp;
Laboratory weighing dishes and funnels are disposable antistatic consumables used in gravimetric sample preparation&mdash;where solid or liquid materials are weighed on analytical or top-loading balances before being transferred into reaction vessels, volumetric flasks, or tubes. Weighing dishes (also called weigh boats or pour boats) are flat-bottomed antistatic polystyrene containers used to hold samples on the balance pan during weighing. Weighing funnels are antistatic polypropylene tools with one flat side for stability on the balance and a conical stem designed to fit flask necks, allowing complete quantitative transfer of material with minimal loss. Globe Scientific offers antistatic PS weighing dishes in square, hexagonal, and pour-boat formats ranging from 10 mL to 350 mL, and antistatic PP weighing funnels in extra-small through extra-extra-large sizes. Both are single-use only because washing removes antistatic properties and affects weighing accuracy.

&nbsp;
Weighing Dish Shape
Square weigh boats are used for routine laboratory weighing and are designed with sloping sides and recessed corners to minimize sample loss during transfer. Hexagonal weigh boats provide better stability on balance pans due to their molded edges and also offer improved grip during handling, making them suitable for workflows where stability matters. Pour-boat designs include a built-in spout that allows controlled and accurate dispensing of liquids or viscous samples into receiving vessels without spillage.
Weighing Dish Capacity
Small 10&ndash;20 mL dishes are used for micro-scale weighing of reagents typically under 2 g on analytical balances. Medium 50&ndash;100 mL dishes are used for routine laboratory weighing of 2&ndash;20 g samples. Large 200&ndash;350 mL dishes are used for bulk powders and higher-volume transfers on top-loading balances.
Weighing Funnel Size
Extra-small funnels are used for 5&ndash;20 mL vessels and microtubes, small funnels for 20&ndash;50 mL, medium funnels for 50&ndash;200 mL, large funnels for 200&ndash;500 mL, and extra-large funnels for 500&ndash;1000 mL flasks. The flat side ensures stable placement on the balance pan during weighing before transfer.
Color: White vs. Black
White dishes provide high contrast for dark or strongly colored samples, making them easier to visualize during transfer. Black dishes are used for light-colored or transparent samples where residue visibility is important, especially when confirming complete sample recovery.

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;

 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.

Cuvettes

<h2 dir="ltr">What are Cuvettes?</h2>
 Cuvettes are small, precision-dimensioned transparent vessels used to hold liquid samples in the light path of a spectrophotometer, fluorometer, or colorimeter for measurement of absorbance, transmittance, fluorescence intensity, or fluorescence polarization. The standard cuvette has a 10 mm optical path length (the distance light travels through the sample), a square or rectangular cross-section, and an internal volume of 1&ndash;4 mL. Cuvettes are manufactured in four main materials&mdash;polystyrene (PS) or polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) plastic, optical glass, UV-grade quartz (fused silica), and IR quartz&mdash;each covering a different wavelength range. Choose plastic cuvettes for routine visible-light absorbance (380&ndash;780 nm) where disposability prevents cross-contamination; choose optical glass for reusable visible-range work (340&ndash;2,500 nm); choose UV quartz when measurements extend into the UV range below 340 nm (190&ndash;2,500 nm).

<h2 dir="ltr"> How to Choose Cuvettes</h2>
 Material and Wavelength Range Plastic (PS/PMMA) cuvettes transmit visible light from 380&ndash;780 nm and are single-use, eliminating cleaning and cross-contamination risk. They are unsuitable for UV measurements, organic solvents, or strong acids. Optical glass cuvettes transmit 340&ndash;2,500 nm, covering the full visible and near-infrared range; Different manufacturers recommend different procedures. UV quartz cuvettes are traditionally used for DNA/RNA quantification at OD260/OD280 because they transmit UV wavelengths below 340 nm. IR quartz extends to 3,500 nm for near-IR applications. Optical Path Length The standard 10 mm path length follows the Beer-Lambert law at normal sample concentrations. Semi-micro (5 mm path) and micro-volume cuvettes (1 mm path, or internal volumes down to 10&ndash;70 &micro;L) are used for precious or limited-volume samples. The path length directly multiplies absorbance: a 1 mm cuvette gives 1/10 the absorbance of a 10 mm cuvette for the same solution &mdash; account for this in Beer-Lambert calculations. Volume: Macro vs. Semi-Micro vs. Micro Macro cuvettes (1&ndash;4 mL) are the standard for routine spectrophotometry. Semi-micro cuvettes (0.5&ndash;1.5 mL) reduce sample consumption. Micro cuvettes (10&ndash;350 &micro;L) are used when sample volume is limited; sub-micro cuvettes (10 &micro;L or less) suit precious clinical or research samples. Confirm that your spectrophotometer's beam height and aperture are compatible with the cuvette format before purchasing micro formats. Two-Window vs. Four-Window Standard cuvettes have two optically clear windows (the light-entry and exit faces) and two frosted or ribbed side walls for gripping. Four-window (all-clear) cuvettes are required for fluorescence measurements at 90&deg; to the excitation beam &mdash; the two additional clear windows allow emitted fluorescence to exit perpendicular to the excitation path. Confirm whether your instrument requires a standard or fluorescence-grade cuvette. Reusable vs. Disposable Quartz and glass cuvettes are reusable; their higher up-front cost&nbsp;is justified for low-throughput precision work or when solvents or UV wavelengths are required. Plastic cuvettes cost fractions of a cent per use and eliminate washing time in high-throughput assay workflows. Select disposable plastic for any routine colorimetric assay (Bradford, BCA, ELISA plate reader backup, OD600 bacterial growth) where wavelengths stay in the visible range. 
<h2 dir="ltr"> Specifications Context</h2>
&nbsp;
The 10 mm path length standard cuvette has internal dimensions of 10 &times; 10 mm cross-section and an internal height of approximately 45 mm. Outer dimensions are 12.5 &times; 12.5 mm, fitting all standard spectrophotometer cell holders. Window parallelism tolerance is &plusmn;0.01 mm for precision quartz cuvettes; standard optical glass cuvettes have &plusmn;0.1 mm tolerance. Light transmission through UV quartz: &gt;90% at 220 nm and &gt;85% at 200 nm. For nucleic acid quantification, a UV quartz cuvette with a minimum path length of 10 mm is required for OD 260/280 measurements; the ratio of OD260/OD280 should be 1.8&ndash;2.0 for pure DNA and 1.9&ndash;2.1 for pure RNA as a purity indicator. As of 2026, plastic disposable cuvettes remain the most cost-efficient choice for labs running &gt;50 absorbance readings per day in the visible range.

Rollers & Rotators

<h2>What are tube rollers and rotators?</h2>
&nbsp;
Tube rollers and rotators are low-speed mixing instruments that provide gentle, continuous agitation of tubes and bottles through rolling or inversion motion rather than high-speed shaking. A tube roller operates by rotating horizontal rollers that the tubes or bottles rest on, causing them to roll along their long axis in place, creating slow, even mixing of the tube contents without introducing air bubbles. A rotator (end-over-end mixer) clamps tubes in a wheel or drum that rotates at 5&ndash;30 rpm, inverting the tubes repeatedly through a full circle for thorough but gentle mixing.

<h2>How to choose rollers and rotators</h2>
&nbsp;
Choose a tube roller for blood collection and clinical tube mixing
Tube rollers are the standard instrument for homogenizing anticoagulated blood collection tubes before clinical testing, operating at 5&ndash;20 rpm to ensure even mixing of blood and anticoagulant without hemolysis from excessive speed. The roller format also suits other tubes and bottles that are too long for end-over-end rotation to work effectively in the space available.
Choose a rotator for antibody-bead incubations and immunoprecipitation
End-over-end rotators invert tubes through a full 360&deg; cycle, ensuring that beads settled at the tube bottom are continuously resuspended and that the bead surface is uniformly exposed to the solution throughout the incubation. This complete inversion is essential for immunoprecipitation, pull-down assays, and antibody-coupling incubations where beads must stay in suspension for efficient binding.
Consider the tube capacity and format each instrument accommodates
Tube rollers hold a fixed number of tubes of defined diameter on the roller surface; rotator wheels typically accommodate a defined set of tube positions for specific tube formats. Confirm that the instrument handles the tube diameter, length, and quantity you work with most commonly, and that accessories are available to accommodate additional formats.
Evaluate speed range against your mixing requirement
Blood sample homogenization requires gentle speed of 5&ndash;12 rpm to avoid hemolysis, while antibody-bead incubations can use faster rotation of 10&ndash;30 rpm for more active suspension maintenance. A variable-speed rotator provides flexibility across applications; a fixed-speed roller set at the correct blood mixing speed is adequate for dedicated blood handling.
Confirm whether incubator-compatible models are needed for your workflow
Rotator and roller incubations often require 37&deg;C for antibody binding or hybridization reactions. Models designed for incubator interior use have compact profiles and materials that tolerate incubator humidity and temperature, while standard bench models are not always rated for this environment.
&nbsp;
<h2>Specifications context</h2>
&nbsp;
Tube rollers used for blood sample mixing are typically operated at a fixed or low-speed range of 5&ndash;12 rpm, a range established from clinical literature showing that this rotation speed adequately homogenizes anticoagulated blood without inducing hemolysis from mechanical stress. As of 2026, compact benchtop tube rollers that fit inside standard incubators and cold rooms without taking up significant shelf space remain popular in clinical and research labs for routine sample preparation.
