• Pouring spout: Helps support controlled pouring and liquid transfer during routine workflows.
• Wide size range: Available from small 5 mL beakers up to large 10 L beakers.
• Useful across many lab types: Suitable for education, research, quality control, food, cosmetics and personal care, environmental, wastewater, and industrial laboratories.
• Canadian purchasing support: Supplied by Cambridge Environmental Products with CAD pricing and support for Canadian buyers.

Technical Notes for Laboratory Buyers

Borosilicate Griffin beakers are commonly selected for routine laboratory work because borosilicate glass offers better thermal durability and chemical resistance than standard soda-lime glass. The low-form Griffin shape provides a stable footprint, practical working volume, and a pouring spout for general mixing, heating, cooling, transferring, and sample preparation workflows.

These beakers are intended for general laboratory use and approximate volume reference. They are not a substitute for volumetric glassware when precise volume measurement is required. For accurate volume measurement, use calibrated volumetric flasks, graduated cylinders, burettes, or pipettes depending on the application.

If your lab requires specific glassware standards, certificates, lot documentation, or confirmation against an ASTM or ISO specification, contact Cambridge Environmental Products before ordering so we can help confirm the correct beaker line for your purchasing requirements.

Temperature and Heating Guidance

These borosilicate Griffin beakers are suitable for general laboratory heating applications, including routine hotplate use. Borosilicate glass is commonly selected for laboratory heating because it offers better thermal durability than standard glass.

Always heat and cool glassware gradually. Avoid sudden temperature changes, direct thermal shock, uneven heating, and placing hot glassware on cold or wet surfaces. Inspect beakers for chips, cracks, scratches, or other damage before heating.

Maximum safe temperature depends on the heating method, liquid volume, chemical contents, glass condition, and lab procedure. For high-temperature, pressure, vacuum, or critical applications, confirm the beaker’s manufacturer rating or use glassware specifically rated for that application.

Common Questions About Borosilicate Griffin Beakers

What is a Griffin beaker?

A Griffin beaker is a low-form laboratory beaker with a wide body, stable base, and pouring spout. It is one of the most common beaker styles used for routine mixing, heating, cooling, pouring, sample preparation, and general benchtop lab work.

What is the difference between a Griffin beaker and a Berzelius beaker?

Griffin beakers are low-form beakers with a wider body and lower height, making them useful for general mixing, heating, and pouring. Berzelius beakers are taller-form beakers, typically used when a narrower, taller vessel is preferred, such as certain titration, stirring, or heating workflows.

Can borosilicate Griffin beakers be heated on a hot plate?

Yes, borosilicate Griffin beakers are commonly used for routine laboratory hotplate heating. Always heat gradually, avoid sudden temperature changes, inspect the glassware before use, and confirm suitability for the heating method, chemicals, and lab procedure being followed.

Are Griffin beakers accurate for measuring volume?

No. Griffin beakers are best used for approximate volume reference, mixing, heating, pouring, and liquid handling. For accurate volume measurement, use volumetric flasks, graduated cylinders, burettes, or pipettes depending on the application.

Are borosilicate Griffin beakers used in cosmetics and personal care labs?

Yes. Borosilicate Griffin beakers are commonly used in cosmetics and personal care labs for routine mixing, heating, cooling, formulation work, sample preparation, and general benchtop liquid handling. They are best used for general laboratory handling and approximate volume reference, not precise volumetric measurement.

What sizes are available?

These borosilicate Griffin beakers are available in sizes from 5 mL to 10 L, making them suitable for small sample work, teaching labs, routine quality control, solution preparation, formulation work, and larger-volume laboratory workflows.

Where can I buy borosilicate Griffin beakers in Canada?

Cambridge Environmental Products supplies borosilicate Griffin beakers in Canada with CAD pricing, Canadian purchasing support, and options for labs, schools, universities, food testing, cosmetics and personal care labs, wastewater testing, environmental testing, and industrial quality control facilities.

Can I order these beakers in bulk for a school, university, food lab, wastewater lab, cosmetic lab, or industrial lab?

Yes. Cambridge Environmental Products can support larger quantity, case, classroom, institutional, cosmetics and personal care, and industrial lab orders for Canadian buyers. Contact us before ordering if you need help with volume purchasing, stocked quantities, or recurring lab supply requirements.
