  • The Calibration of Small Volumetric Laboratory Glassware
    NBSIR 74-461 The Calibration of Small Volumetric Laboratory Glassware Josephine Lembeck Institute for Basic Standards National Bureau of Standards Washington, D. C. 20234 December 1974 Final Prepared for Optical Physics Division Institute for Basic Standards Washington, D. C. 20234 NBSIR 74-461 THE CALIBRATION OF SMALL VOLUMETRIC LABORATORY GLASSWARE Josephine Lembeck Institute for Basic Standards National Bureau of Standards Washington, D. C. 20234 December 1974 Final Prepared for Optical Physics Division Institute for Basic Standards Washington, D. C. 20234 U. S. DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE, Frederick B. Dent, Secretary NATIONAL BUREAU OF STANDARDS, Richard W. Roberts. Director The Calibration of Small Volumetric Laboratory Glassware by Josephine Lembeck 1. INTRODUCTION , This article describes an acceptable procedure for calibrating burets, pipets and volumetric flasks of the types shown in figure 1. The physical characteristics of these items are indicated in Interim Federal Specifications NNN-B-00789a (GSA-FSS) , NNN-P- 00395a (GSA-FSSi NNN-F-00289a (GSA-FSS), and NBS Handbook 105-2. The general procedure is based upon a determination of the volume of water either contained in or delivered by the vessel. This volume of water is based upon knowledge of its measured mass and its tabulated density. Inasmuch as these calibration volumes, especially the delivery volume, may be altered by the manner in which the vessels are used, it is imperative that the user of the vessel employ the same techniques as those employed during calibration. The techniques of importance here are: 1. reading and adjusting meniscus 2. filling the vessel 3. draining the vessel. v These three topics will be covered in detail.

  • Care and Handling of Cuvettes
    FACT SHEET: CARE AND HANDLING OF CUVETTES Proper maintenance of quartz cuvettes is an essential part of spectrophotometric analysis. The following notes are based on the recommendations of Australian Standard AS 3753-2001. Cuvettes in regular use should be stored either: a) in a box lined with a suitably soft material (possibly one supplied by the manufacturer); b) immersed in distilled water; c) immersed in 1% v/v nitric acid. Before use, cuvettes should be cleaned to remove any accumulated residue. If the cuvettes appear clean, simply rinse several times with distilled water, then once with acetone (to prevent watermarks) and leave to air-dry in an inverted position (e.g. on a tissue) before use. Repeat the same process after use, and if maintained in this manner, then drastic cleaning measures ought to be prevented. If cuvettes do become heavily soiled, then the following solutions are recommended for soaking: a) Distilled water b) Mild, non-alkaline detergents (used at concentrations specified by the manufacturer) c) Ten percent acetic acid d) Cold concentrated nitric acid Cleaning with any of the above solutions can be improved by doing so in an ultrasonic bath, but make sure the cuvettes are supported to prevent rubbing against other surfaces or other cuvettes, as they could be scratched. Never use strong alkaline solutions, such as laboratory glassware detergent. When using cuvettes, do not touch the optical windows. All cuvettes have two opaque surfaces for handling purposes. Do not wipe the windows with paper tissues. Tissues are abrasive and may scratch the cuvette window, as well as leaving behind fibres and brightening agents (which will reduce transmission).

  • Hand Washing Laboratory Glassware Study Summary
    LABCONCO CORPORATION • 8811 PROSPECT AVENUE • KANSAS CITY, MO 64132 Hand Washing Laboratory Glassware Study By Odette Nolan, Product Manager, Labconco Corporation Summary Hand washing laboratory glassware can consume a high volume of water. Although automatic glassware washers are often touted as being more efficient in water usage than hand washing, published water usage studies have not addressed laboratory glassware washers, rather only residential washers and a 12 place setting set of dishes. Since hand washing dishes in a residential setting is far different than washing flasks and beakers in the lab, Labconco conducted a study to determine the quantity of water used to hand wash laboratory glassware. Three different workers of varying washing experience were given the task of hand washing the same 28 pieces of laboratory glassware (SEE TABLE 2) using a typical GMP washing protocol (SEE Procedure Section). The results of this data were compared to a commonly used preprogramed cycle of the Labconco line of Laboratory Glassware Washers, specifically the “GLASS” setting plus 1 purified water rinse. This setting, which is factory set to provide 2 wash cycles and 3 tap water rinses, has the option to add pure water rinses. Results show that an average of 119 L of water was consumed in a single hand wash of the 28 pieces of glassware, which took 15.56 minutes to complete, and 11.88 L of water for the purified water rinse, which took an additional 11.9 minutes (SEE Table 1). The side-by-side comparison shows an automated washer saved approximately 211L of water and approximately 24 min in wash time (SEE TABLE 1).

  • Laboratory Equipment Used in Filtration
    KNOW YOUR LAB EQUIPMENTS Test tube A test tube, also known as a sample tube, is a common piece of laboratory glassware consisting of a finger-like length of glass or clear plastic tubing, open at the top and closed at the bottom. Beakers Beakers are used as containers. They are available in a variety of sizes. Although they often possess volume markings, these are only rough estimates of the liquid volume. The markings are not necessarily accurate. Erlenmeyer flask Erlenmeyer flasks are often used as reaction vessels, particularly in titrations. As with beakers, the volume markings should not be considered accurate. Volumetric flask Volumetric flasks are used to measure and store solutions with a high degree of accuracy. These flasks generally possess a marking near the top that indicates the level at which the volume of the liquid is equal to the volume written on the outside of the flask. These devices are often used when solutions containing dissolved solids of known concentration are needed. Graduated cylinder Graduated cylinders are used to transfer liquids with a moderate degree of accuracy. Pipette Pipettes are used for transferring liquids with a fixed volume and quantity of liquid must be known to a high degree of accuracy. Graduated pipette These Pipettes are calibrated in the factory to release the desired quantity of liquid. Disposable pipette Disposable transfer. These Pipettes are made of plastic and are useful for transferring liquids dropwise. Burette Burettes are devices used typically in analytical, quantitative chemistry applications for measuring liquid solution. Differing from a pipette since the sample quantity delivered is changeable, graduated Burettes are used heavily in titration experiments.
