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%.
