FAQs
Why choose a stainless steel beaker over glass?
Stainless steel beakers resist breakage, making them well suited to busy or industrial settings where glass could be dropped or knocked. Stainless steel is also corrosion resistant, easy to clean, and tolerant of many chemicals and temperatures, so the beakers can be washed and reused repeatedly across procedures.
What sizes are available?
The group offers two capacities, 1.2 L and 2 Qt. Choosing the size closest to your working volume helps with accurate handling and reduces waste. Both are made of the same stainless steel construction and differ only in capacity, so selection comes down to the volume you need.
Can these beakers be heated?
Stainless steel tolerates a wide range of laboratory temperatures and is commonly used for heating applications. As with any labware, follow your standard procedures for safe heating and handling, and use appropriate protection when moving hot vessels. Confirm suitability for your specific heat source before use.
Are covers available for these beakers?
Stainless steel beaker covers are offered separately in a range of sizes. Pairing a beaker with a correctly sized cover helps reduce evaporation of the contents and limits airborne contamination during heating, mixing, or storage. Match the cover size to the beaker for the best fit.
Are the beakers easy to clean and reuse?
Yes. Stainless steel withstands routine laboratory washing and resists corrosion, so these beakers can be cleaned and reused across many procedures. Their durable construction supports a long service life, which can make them more economical over time than repeatedly replacing broken glass beakers.
