Glass Beakers

Laboratory glass beakers are essential glassware for any life science, research, or quality control lab. Available in borosilicate and soda-lime glass, beakers range from 10 mL to 10,000 mL capacities and are used for mixing, heating, pouring, and storage of chemical and biological samples. Borosilicate beakers handle thermal shock better than standard glass, making them ideal for high-temperature applications. Weber Scientific carries beakers from leading manufacturers including Pyrex, Kimble, and our own budget-friendly line. Sign in to your account or contact your sales rep for organizational pricing.

Frequently asked questions

What's the difference between borosilicate and soda-lime beakers?

Borosilicate glass handles rapid temperature changes (thermal shock) better and withstands higher temperatures. Soda-lime is more economical for room-temperature work.

What capacity sizes are available?

Glass beakers range from 10 mL to 10,000 mL. Common sizes include 50, 100, 250, 500, 1000, and 2000 mL.

Are beakers graduated?

Many have graduation markings for approximate volume measurement, though they're not as precise as graduated cylinders.

Do you carry beaker starter kits?

Yes, Weber Scientific carries beaker starter packs that include multiple sizes in one package.
