Laboratory Glass Repairs
Think of it as high-tech recycling. Most glassblowing shops perform repairs as part of doing business. We can and do repair all sorts of laboratory glassware. Any item much more complex than beakers and testtubes are fair game, but this work does come with a risk. Individually, each piece of broken lab glass is a unique situation although the fix is often straight forward: reattach or replace a new joint, thread, or stopcock, seal a star crack, fill chips in a flange, etc. Emailing a photo can be very informative in terms of a rough estimate. We won't charge more than half the value of the new item without consulting you. If the glassware is broken in a "working" area, that is, the shell of a stopcock, the ground part of a joint, a flange, etc., those parts can be replaced as good as new. We strive for good as new - repairs are carried out in the same manner as manufacture of new lab glassware See repaired glassware in our Repairs gallery.
