Description
Product Overview
The 2000ml Griffin beaker from Karter Scientific is a premium laboratory glassware item designed for durability, precision, and ease of use. Constructed from high‑quality 3.3 borosilicate glass, the beaker offers exceptional thermal shock resistance, allowing it to withstand rapid temperature changes without cracking or compromising structural integrity. Its low‑form Griffin shape provides a stable base and a wide opening that facilitates easy pouring, mixing, and cleaning. The double‑scale graduation marks are printed at 100ml intervals from 200ml to 2000ml, giving users clear visual cues for accurate volume measurement. With an outer diameter of 130mm and a height of approximately 190mm, the beaker fits comfortably on standard laboratory benches and can be accommodated by most common clamps and stands. The product is packaged in a heavy‑duty, custom‑cut double‑wall (BC Flute) corrugated box, ensuring protection during shipping and handling. Certified by Karter Scientific, the beaker meets rigorous industry standards for chemical resistance and mechanical strength, making it suitable for a wide range of applications in chemistry, biology, environmental testing, and educational laboratories.
Usage
This beaker excels in environments where reliable temperature tolerance and clear visibility are essential. In a chemistry laboratory, it can be used for heating solutions over a Bunsen burner, performing reflux operations, or conducting titration procedures where precise volume readings are critical. The wide mouth design simplifies the addition of solid reagents, magnetic stir bars, and thermometers, while the sturdy glass construction tolerates aggressive solvents such as acids, bases, and organic compounds without degradation. In biological research, the beaker serves as a convenient vessel for preparing culture media, washing cell pellets, or holding samples for spectrophotometric analysis. Its robust nature also makes it a preferred choice for fieldwork, where portable labs require glassware that can survive transport shocks and temperature fluctuations. Educational institutions benefit from the beaker’s clear markings and ergonomic shape, which help students develop proper laboratory techniques and understand volumetric concepts. Whether used in a high‑throughput industrial setting, a university research lab, or a teaching classroom, the 2000ml Griffin beaker provides consistent performance and safety.

FAQ
What types of chemicals can this beaker safely hold?
The 2000ml Griffin beaker is made from 3.3 borosilicate glass, which is highly resistant to most acids, bases, and organic solvents. It can safely contain common laboratory reagents such as hydrochloric acid, sodium hydroxide, ethanol, and acetone. However, for extremely aggressive chemicals like hydrofluoric acid, a specialized glass type is recommended.
Can the beaker be used on a hot plate or with direct flame?
Yes, the beaker’s borosilicate composition is designed to tolerate rapid temperature changes, making it suitable for use on hot plates, heating mantles, and direct Bunsen‑burner flames. Users should still follow standard safety practices, such as using heat‑resistant gloves and avoiding sudden immersion of a hot beaker into cold liquids.
How accurate are the graduation markings?
The double‑scale graduations are calibrated at 100ml intervals and are printed with high‑contrast ink for easy readability. While the beaker provides reliable visual measurement, for applications requiring higher precision, a calibrated volumetric flask or pipette is recommended.
Is the beaker compatible with standard laboratory clamps and stands?
With an outer diameter of approximately 130mm and a sturdy rim, the beaker fits most standard laboratory clamps, ring stands, and support brackets. Its low‑form shape also allows it to be securely positioned on flat surfaces without the need for additional support.
What is the warranty or return policy for this product?
Karter Scientific offers a one‑year limited warranty covering manufacturing defects. If the beaker arrives damaged or shows any defects, customers can contact our support team for a replacement or refund. Detailed return instructions are included with the packaging.
