SCHOTT DURAN - the name of safety
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

 |
|
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%.
|
|
Bottles with rolled flange
|
 |
Schott
Duran bottles with rolled flange are mainly used
for storing samples. The clamp closure provides a practical
means of opening and closing the bottle.
|
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 bottles
|
 |
Schott Duran cylindrical and conical
culture bottles are mainly used for developing cultures to
grow media. These are closed with cotton wool plugs, metal
caps, glass caps, etc. It is important that an exchange of
air to take place while maintaining sterility. The neck finish
of the bottles is generally straight (i.e. not a beaded rim).
The beaded rim is, of course better for pouring purposes (no
drips), but it increases the risk of contamination, since
microorganisms can become trapped under the rim.
|
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.
|
Filter crucibles
|
 |
Schott Duran glass filter crucibles
have a wide range of applications in quantitative analysis.
They are particularly suitable for precipitates which need
to be dried to a constant weight. After careful cleaning,
the filter crucible quickly reaches a constant weight at 110°C,
as the water remaining evaporates. After filtration the moist
precipitate is placed in the Duran glass filter crucible in
the hot drying cabinet at a temperature up to 150°C where
it is dried to a constant weight.
Depending on the method of determination,
it can be cooled by exposure to air or in a desiccator. To
calcine a precipitate, the crucible is placed in a cold oven,
which then can be heated up to a maximum of 500°C. After
the oven has been switched off, the crucible should be allowed
to cool down to about 200°C in the oven.
|
Filter Funnels with a sintered disk
|
 |
Filter
funnels with a sintered disk are mainly used in qualitative
analysis, preparative chemistry and sterile filtration. They
are connected to the filtering flask by means of a Guko (conical
rubber gasket). |
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.
|
Filtering flasks with a glass hose connection (female)
|
 |
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. 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. |

Schott Duran filtering flasks are available in both conical
and cylindrical form. They have an appropriate wall thickness
to ensure suitability for use under vacuum. DIN 12 476 prescribes
a pressure test to ensure that items are suitable for use under
vacuum. All Schott filtering flasks can be used under vacuum.
Glass hose connections are no longer approved for use in Germany
because of the high risk of injury.
|
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.
|
Flasks with a ground socket (flat bottom)
|
 |
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.
For most uses, Schott flat bottom flasks are supplied with a
single ground neck. They may be used only for applications where
no pressure is involved.
|
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 distribution tubes
|
 |
In addition
to its use for filtration, Duran is also well suited for applications
in gas filtration apparatus in the distribution of gases and
liquids. Duran gas distribution tubes are used for reactions
between gases and liquids. |
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. |
Glass-ceramic laboratory protection plates
|
 |
Traditionally
asbestos covered metal plates were used to protect glass items
heated by Bunsen burners. Asbestos is, however, a health risk
and its use in laboratories is no longer permitted. That is
why glass-ceramic laboratory protection plates are now used.
This glass-ceramic has an extremely low thermal expansion. As
a result it is very resistant to thermal shock and can be used
between -200°C and 700°C. Quadrupods and plate holders
for support stands are available as accessories.
|
Immersion filters
|
 |
Schott
immersion filters are used for reverse filtration. When the
purpose of suction filtration is to recover a fairly large quantity
of clear filtrate and not the solid content, what is known as
reverse filtration is used in many cases. The precipitate is
allowed to settle and the liquid standing above it is drawn
off through an immersion filter. As there is little tendency
for filter cakes to form on the filter disk, high filtration
speeds can be achieved and fairly large quantities processed.
|
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.
|
Pear shaped flasks
|
 |
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 pear shaped flasks are used for handling small
quantities of substances. All flasks are heated mostly in liquid
baths or heating mantles.
|
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.
|
Plastic coated laboratory bottles
|
 |
Plastic
coated Schott Duran laboratory bottles, known as Duran Protect,
are a practical addition to the conventional Duran laboratory
bottle range.
The coating provides protection against mechanical damage and
prevents the contents from escaping in the event of breakage.
It also prevents broken glass flying about.
The plastic, which is cross-linked copolymer (polyurethane)
based, stays transparent and adheres to the surface of the glass
even after repeated sterilization in the autoclave (135°C).
Duran Protect can be refrigerated down to -30°C and can
be microwaved. Pressure resistant (-1/+1.5 bar) and amber Duran
Protect laboratory bottles are also available. |
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.
|
Roller bottles
|
 |
Schott
Duran roller bottles are used for the mass production of cells
and viruses. Several bottles are used at a time on a roller
unit. The bottles have the largest possible horizontal and peripheral
growth surfaces. They have outstanding optical clarity. |
Round bottom flasks
|
 |
Schott
flasks are used for distillation, reaction, extraction, etc.
They are heated up, as a rule, in heating mantles and liquid
baths. Hot and cold spots should be avoided during heating up
and cooling down. Round bottom flasks can be used for work under
vacuum, but only if the surface of the glass is undamaged, i.e.
no bruises or scratches, etc.
|
Round flat bottom flasks
|
 |
Various
versions of Schott 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.
Evaporating flasks are used as rotating distillation flasks
in rotary evaporators.
|
Square laboratory bottles
|
 |
Duran
square laboratory bottles provide a space-saving alternative
to the well-know round Schott Duran laboratory bottles. Operating
and storage costs can be saved in the sterilization, stocking,
storage of specimens, as well as in the transport of samples
and reagents of all types:
- in the autoclave
- on the shelf
- in the refrigerator
- in sample storage.
Additional benefits:
- First-class processing quality
;Smooth edges; make them easy to clean Easy to handle (fit
the hand, easy to label) Non-slip bottom (embossed, dimpled
pattern)
- Extremely stable
|
Test tubes
|
 |
Test
tubes are used for simple experiments, in particular for qualitative
chemical analyses. Duran are available in a variety of sizes.
Test tube sizes are only roughly matched to a particular capacity.
The exact capacity does not matter. There is, therefore, no
need for any indication of capacity or calibration. The crucial
factor when carrying out experiments in test tubes is generally
the change that occurs to the contents, e.g. any change in color.
Duran test tubes are available with or without beaded rim. If
the contents are frequently poured or shaken, it is advisable
to use test tubes with beaded rim.
|
Volumetric flasks
|
 |
Volumetric
flasks for the accurate measurement of specific quantities of
liquid, like virtually all volumetric glassware, are quantitative
analysis aids. Chemists use them principally for the preparation
and storage of standard solutions. For that reason they must
be highly resistant to chemical attack. Duran volumetric flasks
ensure high chemical resistance.
Volumes are calibrated at a reference temperature of 20°C.
The volume content tolerances for Class A volumetric flasks
meet the accuracy limits of the German weights and measures
regulations and the ISO and DIN recommendations.
|
Weighing bottles
|
 |
Duran
weighing bottles are used for weighing substances on analytical
scales.
They have a ground lid with a knob that can be gripped with
tweezers. The lid prevents the weighed substances from exiting
the vessel by drafts while being moved in the laboratory, and
thus reducing the weight of the substance.
