However, now, coinciding with the inauguration of the new workshop next to our warehouse in Sentmenat, we are ready to export our scientific glassware to other countries. Standard and made to order Products for which there is regular demand are produced in larger Scharlau glassware quantities and then stocked for almost immediate supply. Other products are either manufactured directly from glass tubing or are constructed from a number of semi-finished products. Quality Even today, scientific glassblowing remains a highly skilled hand craft and the quality of glassware depends on the skill of each blower. Careful selection of the raw glass ensures that our final products are free from imperfections such as air lines, scratches and stones. You will be able to judge for yourself the workmanship of our glassware products. Safety All our glassware is annealed and made stress free to avoid breakage.

  • Standard Operating Procedures
    Standard Operating Procedures 1 Standard Operating Procedures OVERVIEW In the following laboratory exercises you will be introduced to some of the glassware and tech- niques used by chemists to isolate components from natural or synthetic mixtures and to purify the individual compounds and characterize them by determining some of their physical proper- ties. While working collaboratively with your group members you will become acquainted with: a) Volumetric glassware b) Liquid-liquid extraction apparatus c) Distillation apparatus OBJECTIVES After finishing these sessions and reporting your results to your mentor, you should be able to: • Prepare solutions of exact concentrations • Separate liquid-liquid mixtures • Purify compounds by recrystallization • Separate mixtures by simple and fractional distillation 2 EXPERIMENT 1 Glassware Calibration, Primary and Secondary Standards, and Manual Titrations PART 1. Volumetric Glassware Calibration Volumetric glassware is used to either contain or deliver liquids at a specified temperature. Glassware manufacturers indicate this by inscribing on the volumetric ware the initials TC (to contain) or TD (to deliver) along with the calibration temperature, which is usually 20°C1. Volumetric glassware must be scrupulously clean before use. The presence of streaks or droplets is an indication of the presence of a grease film. To eliminate grease from glassware, scrub with detergent solution, rinse with tap water, and finally rinse with a small portion of distilled water. Volumetric flasks (TC) A volumetric flask has a large round bottom with only one graduation mark positioned on the long narrow neck. Graduation Mark Stopper The position of the mark facilitates the accurate and precise reading of the meniscus. If the flask is used to prepare a solution starting with a solid compound, add small amounts of sol- vent until the entire solid dissolves.

  • Q & a – Accuracy and Precision
    Food Analysis – FScN 4312W Laboratory: Assessment of Accuracy and Precision Key to Questions 1. Theoretically, how are standard deviation, coefficient of variation, mean, percent relative error, and 95% confidence interval affected by: (1) more replicates, and (2) a larger size of measurement? Was this evident in looking at the actual results obtained using the volumetric pipettes and the buret, with n = 3 vs n = 6, and with 1mL vs 10mL? Ans: (1) As the sample size increases (more replicates) - Calculated mean approaches the true mean - Standard deviation is inversely proportional to the square root of sample size, hence it decreases - CV decreases, as standard deviation approaches 0 for larger sample size - % Relative error decreases as calculated mean approaches true mean - 95% confidence interval narrows down (2) Larger size of measurement - Mean is close to true mean - Standard deviation might be larger due to larger size - CV decreases - % Relative error decreases, as calculated mean is close to true mean - 95% confidence interval narrows down Not all of the above assumptions were confirmed in this experiment according to the data observed. One reason could be that the sample size was very small (n = 3 and n = 6), to notice significant differences, another reason could be human error and variation from one person’s measuring technique to another. 2. Why are percent relative error and coefficient of variation used to compare the accuracy and precision, respectively, of the volumes from pipetting/dispensing 1 and 10mL with the volumetric pipettes and buret in parts 2 and 3, rather than simply the mean and standard deviation, respectively? Ans: Mean calculated from the readings gives the calculated mean, which may differ from the true mean.

  • Error Analysis Example Error Analysis Is Always a Difficult Area for Students
    Error Analysis Example Error analysis is always a difficult area for students. However, the careful consideration of experimental error is one of the important skills that we need to learn to be effective scientists. In the following discussion, the errors in a titration experiment are considered. The first section is a detailed look at how to determine the most important errors. The second section is an example of the corresponding text that would be written in a lab report for CH141-142. Determining the Important Errors The purpose of the error analysis section of the lab report is to determine the most important errors and the effect that those errors have on the final result. Random Errors: Random errors cause positive and negative deviations from the average value of a measurement. Random errors cancel by averaging, if the experiment is repeated many times. Upon averaging many trials, random errors have an effect only on the precision of a measurement. The effect of random errors is primarily on the precision. Every non-integer experimental measurement is a source of random error. The random error is estimated from the readability of the device. A table of typical measurements and the associated precision, under practical circumstances, is given below. For instrument readings, to avoid round-off error, report one extra significant figure and then underline the digit that is not significant. Volumetric flasks and pipettes precision (relative) significant figures 10 mL 0.03 mL 3 i.e. 10.0 mL 25 mL 0.03 mL 3 25.0 mL 50 mL 0.05 mL 3 50.0 mL 100 mL 0.08 mL 4 100.0 mL Auto-pipettors 10 L 0.05 L (0.5%) 3 i.e.

Place the tip of the pipette into the fluid and draw up fluid by releasing pressure on the pipette bulb. Make sure to draw up a little excess fluid pass the fill line, then place your index finger (still using your dominant hand) over the top of the pipette. Apply pressure so that the fluid does not leak from the pipette. 5. Wipe down the side of the pipette with a Kimwipe or paper towel. 6. Adjust the meniscus to the desired line of the pipette by gently releasing the pressure applied by your index finger until the liquid starts to flow out slowly.
