The basic material for most of the products listed
is DURAN the borosilicate glass developed by SCHOTT
which now represents the standard for laboratory
glassware in Australia and all over the world.
DURAN is a special borosilicate glass of the first
hydrolytic class. Its invention was one of Otto
Schott's great achievements. Laboratory and chemical
plant technology would be unthinkable without DURAN
tubing, capillary and rod, which provide the basis
for custom-made solutions to specific problems. |
|
Products made from DURAN are well-known
for their stability, good workability and high
thermal shock resistance. DURAN has a very low
rate of thermal expansion which makes it an excellent
material for laboratory glassware and for use
in large-scale technological plants in the chemical
apparatus industry in Australia and all over the
world.
A comprehensive range of Beakers, Boiling Flasks,
Erlenmeyer Flasks, Test Tubes, Distillation Flasks
and a variety of other products for use in the
laboratory. The main material used in the manufacture
of these products is SCHOTT Duran 3.3 low expansion
Borosilicate glass. |

Low form Beakers and High form
Beakers |
 |
| Schott
Duran beakers are widely used in laboratories.
The low form is ideal for heating up contents
on laboratory hotplates or Bunsen burners. The
tall form is ideal for heating up contents in
liquid or sand baths, as the tall shape of the
beaker protects its contents from the surrounding
medium. There is thus no risk of cross-contamination. |
Graduated beakers should not be used for volume measurement
purposes as the printed scale only indicates the
contents within a tolerance of +/-10%.
|
|
Burettes |
 |
Burettes
are used exclusively for titration measurement. The quantity
of liquid required for the titration, which is not known
in advance, can be read accurately upon completion of
the reaction. Schott Duran burettes are calibrated to
deliver at a reference temperature of 20°C. The volume
content tolerances for burettes meet the accuracy limits
of the German weights and measures regulations and the
ISO and DIN recommendations. The accuracy limits of the
Schott Duran Class B; version are about 1.5 times the
accuracy limits of Class AS. They are, therefore, better
than required by DIN.
By specifying a Class AS; the German weights and measures
regulations within the framework of the 15th Amending
Regulations have taken into account that the great majority
of volumetric measurements, especially in clinical laboratories,
are carried out with water or dilute aqueous solutions;
thus apparatus with considerably shorter run-off times
than previously required, but with the same accuracy limits,
are now accepted for calibration. |
Centrifuge tubes |
 |
The
difference between Duran centrifuge tubes and other
types of tubes is their wall thickness and their sturdy
design. They have to withstand the high loads generated
in laboratory centrifuges. The mixture to be separated
rotates at high speed around an axis in the centrifuge
tube. This causes the heavier particles to fly faster
and further away from the axis than the lighter ones.
This results in separation.
These tubes are approved to
DIN 58 970 (Part 2) for a maximum relative centrifugal
acceleration of 4000 and filling in line with their
capacity with contents having a maximum density of 1.2
g/ml.
|
Culture flasks |
 |
Schott
Duran culture flasks have large bottom surfaces. These
should be as flat as possible so that the thickness of
the microorganism layer can grow to a uniform height.
The cultures are often irradiated with IR or UV light
to speed up their growth. Duran flasks are absolutely
ideal for this.The following are typical Duran
culture flasks:
- Fernbach flasks Kolle
flasks Roux flasks
- Penicillin flasks
The difference is the shape. |
Desiccators |
 |
The
Schott Duran desiccator is a laboratory vessel with a
ground lid, which is suitable for use under vacuum. It
is used for the storage of substances that are sensitive
to moisture and for drying moist products. The lower part
is divided by a sieve plate and serves as a receptacle
for water-absorbent substances such as anhydrous calcium
chloride. These drying agents draw out the moisture from
the substance to be dried. Drying agents should not be
placed directly in the desiccator. Rather, an appropriately
sized crystallizing dish should be filled with the drying
agent and place it inside. Place the substance to be dried
on the sieve plate and close the desiccator tightly. All
Duran desiccators are suitable for use under vacuum, i.e.
they can be used up to the technically maximum possible
vacuum.  |
Dishes |
 |
There
are various types of Schott Duran dishes: evaporating
dishes, crystallizing dishes and watch glass dishes.
Evaporating dishes and crystallizing dishes can be used
for evaporating liquids and crystallizing out solids respectively.
Watch glass dishes are used as weighing dishes and to
cover beakers, Erlenmeyer flasks, etc. |
Schott Duran Erlenmeyer flasks |
 |
Typical
uses for Schott Erlenmeyer flasks include boiling and
swirling. They are also used as components in apparatus.
Their shape makes them ideal for mixing and storing
liquids.
An advantage of the conical
shape is that there is little tendency for precipitates
to stick to the inside surface as they slide down the
wall with the rest of the contents. Duran Erlenmeyer
flasks are also used as culture flasks.
|
Schott Filtering flasks |
 |
Filtering flasks are used for drawing off liquids and vacuum
filtration. Duran filtering flasks are available in both
conical and cylindrical form. To ensure suitability for
use under vacuum they have an appropriate wall thickness.
DIN 12 476 prescribes an appropriate pressure test to
ensure that items are suitable for use under vacuum. All
Schott filtering flasks are suitable for use under vacuum.
Hose connections are available in both plastic and glass
(glass tubulature, glass hose connection, plastic hose
connection, plastic tubulature). Glass hose connections
are no longer approved for use in Germany because of the
high risk of injury.

flasks are used for drawing off liquids and vacuum filtration.
Duran filtering flasks are available in both conical and
cylindrical form. To ensure suitability for use under
vacuum they have an appropriate wall thickness. All Schott
filtering flasks are suitable for use under vacuum, as
is described in DIN 12 476, which specifies an appropriate
pressure test to ensure that items are suitable for use
under vacuum.
The introduction of filtering flasks with a glass hose
connection (female) has simplified and facilitated work
in preparatory and analytical laboratories. In addition,
filtering flasks reduce the risk of accidents. |

Filtering flasks with a ground socket |
 |
Filtering
flasks are used for drawing off liquids and vacuum filtration.
Duran filtering flasks are available in both conical
and cylindrical form. To ensure suitability for use
under vacuum they have an appropriate wall thickness.
DIN 12 476 prescribes an appropriate pressure test to
ensure that items are suitable for use under vacuum.
All Schott filtering flasks are suitable for use under
vacuum.
Duran filtering flasks with
plastic hose connections and plastic tubulatures provide
protection and safety for laboratory workers and the
laboratory. Their design makes it easier to fit and
remove the vacuum tubing.
|
Flasks with a ground socket |
 |
Various
versions of Duran flasks with a ground socket are used
for special tasks. For distillation, fractionation and
reaction, multi-neck flasks are used predominantly so
that they can be combined with other attachments such
as columns, thermometers, dropping funnels, boiling capillaries,
etc. Single-neck round bottom flasks are used for simple
distillation work and as receiver flasks, for freeze drying,
in vacuum apparatus, etc.
|
Schott Duran Funnels |
 |
Schott
funnels are used for filling and filtration. Round paper
filters are available for the funnels, which are used
for simple filtration. Because of the shape of Duran analytical
funnels, they can be used for rapid filtration tasks.
A slight vacuum is formed in the hollow chamber on the
inside of the funnel, which results in suction being applied
to the liquid being filtered.
|
Gas washing bottles |
 |
By
distributing gases in liquids through filter disks in
Duran gas washing bottles, the efficiency of the absorption
can be significantly increased. Gas washing bottles of
this type still work reliably even at high flow rates.
|
Laboratory bottles |
 |
Schott
laboratory bottles are stable, and like all Duran items,
are resistant to chemical attack and highly resistant
to thermal shock. When fitted with a pouring ring, dripping
is virtually eliminated. As there is only one screw thread
size for all bottle sizes from 100 ml and up, the screw
caps and pouring rings are totally interchangeable. The
bottles, pouring rings and caps can be sterilized.
Pressure resistant (-1/+1.5 bar) and amber stained laboratory
bottles are also available. Caps are also available in
different colors to facilitate identification in the laboratory.
|
Schott Duran Measuring cylinders Australia |
 |
Schott
Duran Measuring cylinders are used as receptacles and
also for measuring various quantities of liquid. Mixing
cylinders can be used for diluting solutions and mixing
several components in a given quantity ratio. Schott measuring
and mixing cylinders are highly resistant to mechanical
and thermal loads. The large hexagonal base with 3 dimples
on the bottom increases stability and prevents the cylinder
from rolling away.
The cylinders have uniform wall thickness over the entire
measuring range, which avoids the risk of errors due to
wedging. They are calibrated at a reference temperature
of 20°C. Accuracy limits for measuring and mixing
cylinders are described in DIN 12 680 and DIN 12 685.
|
Schott Duran Petri Dishes Australia |
 |
Schott
Duran petri dishes are used especially for biological
and medical work.
The better the glass surface of the petri dish, the better
it is for use under the microscope. It must be flat, so
that it can be stacked in minimal space without slipping.
Duroplan petri dishes are transparent without distortion
and optimally flat.
|
Schott Duran Pipettes |
 |
Pipettes
are used for accurate measurement and the discharging
of liquids. It is possible to discharge only specific
quantities with bulb pipettes. Graduated pipettes, however,
enable different quantities of liquid to be taken up which
can then be discharged in part or entirely. Duran pipettes
are calibrated to deliver at a reference temperature of
20°C. The volume content tolerances for etchable pipettes
meet the accuracy limits of the German weights and measures
regulations and the ISO and DIN recommendations. The accuracy
limits of the Schott Duran Class (B) version are about
1.5 times the accuracy limits of ClassA. They are, therefore,
better than required by DIN.
|
Reagent bottles |
 |
Schott
Duran reagent bottles are available in both wide neck
and narrow neck form. Narrow neck bottles are ideal for
the storage of liquids, since liquids are easier to pour
from a narrow neck. Wide neck bottles are used for the
storage of powders, since powders do not block large diameter
neck. Amber reagent bottles are particularly suited to
the storage of light-sensitive substances. Thus, there
is no need to store them in dark places or closets.
