Custom Schlenk Line
We are happy that borosilicate glass continues to be a unique and viable material for all kinds of research, testing, and production and we'd like to keep it that way! These pages are intended to introduce you to us and to scientific glassblowing, and to help you make good choices for your glassware. In a global marketplace, our success depends on satisfied customers.
We make virtually everything to order, as experience has shown variations on a theme are typical. For this reason we do not stock much finished product, and have not indicated much pricing on this site. Please contact us ( that's Stefka above...) with information about your specific need, and we will provide a formal quotation. We are always happy to take orders for glassware in any way: telephone, email, fax, mail, or personal visit. We do not, however, have online ordering.
Explore our extensive photo galleries. The many hundreds of images present solutions for specific requirements, and remains at the heart of our enterprise as scientific glassblowers. You can search the galleries, as well as the site generally, for what interests you. We've included a mark-up tool as a link on the individual images that can be useful as a starting place to discuss your project; mark-up, copy, and email it back to us.
These pages are meant as an aid to your understanding of our materials and methods. We have included links and information about borosilicate glass in general, tubing and flask sizes and tolerances, connections, stopcocks and valves, fritted glass filters, and considerations about designing glass apparatus. We certainly know more than is listed here; feel free to contact us with any questions.
