There are very few products made so well that the brand
becomes a generic name for everything similar.
Pyrex® is one of the few.
Pyrex® borosilicate glass was developed in the early years
of the 20th century to satisfy the demand for a material
with high thermal resistance.
This property, coupled with excellent chemical durability,
makes Pyrex® the ideal material for laboratory products.
Today more than 800 items of glassware carry the famous
Pyrex® name including beakers, bottles, flasks, dishes and test
tubes, all manufactured to the same exacting quality
standards.

MBL® volumetric glassware has an international reputation for
quality and performance. MBL® is ideal for general volumetric
applications and offers exceptional value for money.
The range comprises over 300 products, one of the widest
selections available, offering unbeatable choice, accuracy
and performance.
Rotaflo® stopcocks are renowned for their performance and
reliability. The range comprises a wide selection of general
purpose stopcocks offering fine flow control and high vacuum
versions, individually tested for guaranteed performance.
SVL® glassware has screwthread joints that are easily
connected together using purpose made couplings. Only glass
and PTFE come into contact with the chemicals being used to
provide a grease-free and corrosion-resistant pathway.
SVL® glass is manufactured from Pyrex® borosilicate glass
for maximum resistance to chemical attack and thermal shock.

Quickfit® pioneered the concept of interchangeable joints
in 1934. Today, the brand name is renowned throughout
the world for quality and reliability and is the first choice
of scientists who demand maximum performance and value
for money.
Quickfit® ground-glass joints are precision manufactured
with an accurate taper and smooth finish for leak-free
performance and assured interchangeability.
The Quickfit® range comprises over 1,000 products,
enabling the user to construct the widest choice of
assemblies.
Quickfit® glassware is manufactured exclusively from
Pyrex® borosilicate glass. This type of glass has a very low
co-efficient of expansion, allowing use at both elevated
and sub-zero temperatures.
