Don\u2019t purchase those <a title=\"Lab Beaker Types from Cole-Parmer\" href=\"\/c\/beakers\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">laboratory beakers<\/a> just yet. You might be getting a good deal, but make sure the beakers you are buying will work with your application. Not all beakers are the same.<\/p>\n<h2>Types of scientific beakers<\/h2>\n<p>There are many different types of beakers with a boatload of features. Consider the following when choosing scientific beakers for your application:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Material:<\/strong> Determine what type of material you need. <a title=\"Glass Lab Beakers from Cole-Parmer\" href=\"\/c\/beakers\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Glass beakers<\/a>, various plastics, and <a title=\"Stainless Steel Scientific Beakers\" href=\"\/c\/beakers\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">stainless steel beakers<\/a> are available. You may need a beaker that is designed to be chemical resistant. Maybe you need something for ultrapure applications. A general, economical beaker might not be your best choice.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Disposable: <\/strong>When you need single-use products, <a title=\"Griffin Low Form Scientific Beakers\" href=\"\/p\/disposable-griffin-low-form-beakers-pp\/42162\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">disposable beakers<\/a> are available.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Temperature:<\/strong> Check the temperature you will\u00a0be using in your application. Many beakers are designed to withstand up to a certain temperature.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Shape or thickness:<\/strong> Look at the shape of the beaker. Would you like a tapered beaker for easy stacking and storage? Perhaps you want a beaker with a bottom designed and machined for rapid heat transfer. Worried you\u2019ll drop your beaker? Choose one with a handle for an easier grip.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Spout:\u00a0<\/strong>Do you need more than one spout?\u00a0Three and four-spout beakers are available.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Autoclavable:<\/strong>\u00a0Are you planning to use the beaker in an autoclave? Not all beakers are autoclavable.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Size and capacity: <\/strong>From low form to high form and small to <a title=\"Scienceware Polypropylene Scientific Beakers\" href=\"\/p\/high-capacity-polypropylene-beakers\/3751\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">high capacity,<\/a>\u00a0beakers come in various sizes and capacities including 10,000 mL (320 oz.)!<\/li>\n<li><strong>Graduations or color-coding:<\/strong> Make it easy for yourself. Use beakers with graduations to see approximate volumes. Use <a title=\"Kimax Glass Griffin Lab Beakers\" href=\"\/p\/kimax-color-coded-glass-griffin-beakers\/21895\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">color-coded beakers<\/a> for easy identification.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Browse our complete line of <a title=\"All Lab Supplies from Cole-Parmer\" href=\"\/c\/laboratory-supplies\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">lab supplies.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Wait!
