FAQs

Most lab plasticware is made from polypropylene, polyethylene, or polystyrene. These plastics offer chemical resistance and durability for repeated use in laboratory settings.

Many polypropylene items withstand autoclave temperatures up to 121°C. Always check the manufacturer's specifications before sterilization to avoid warping or damage.

Both options exist. Some beakers and containers are designed for multiple uses after proper cleaning, while pipettes and petri dishes are often disposed of after one experiment.

Wash with mild detergent and warm water, then rinse thoroughly. Avoid abrasive scrubbers that could scratch surfaces and compromise measurement accuracy.

Beakers range from 50 mL to 2000 mL. Test tubes come in various diameters and lengths. Pipettes are offered in fixed volumes from 1 µL to 10 mL.
