Why Beakers and Flasks Remain Core Tools in Educational Chemistry Labs

Beakers and flasks are the superheroes of the lab in chemistry class. They're used all the time and so there's nothing wrong about the traction they have because they are so effective. Created by Maihun, these beaker enable students to measure, mix and witness chemical reactions safely and accurately. 

Indispensible for accurate measure and mix of chemicals

When you are running a chemistry experiment, accuracy matters a whole lot. Beakers and distillation flask come in here. They have lines on the sides so that you can measure extremely precise amounts of liquid. Whether you’re concocting a potion to make colors shift or a reactive bubbling blend, it’s important to get the right amount of each ingredient. 

Allow the safe manipulation and storage of acidic or volatile liquids

Some chemicals can be dangerous (meaning harmful, like really strong acids or bases that could burn your skin, or liquid substances that could easily evaporate into dangerous gases). Maihun beakers and flasks are designed to handle these dangerous substances safely. These Lab Supplies are able to contain these chemicals without cracking (toxic chemicals can escape through small cracks) and without breaking (sharp broken edges can cut you when you try to clean it), which allows everyone to be safe in the lab. 

Allow students to observe to reactions and investigate them with precision

Nothing beats observing a chemical reaction in science class. You might be able to see gases bubbling up, colors shifting, or even things heating up. Beakers and flasks are also clear and you can see everything that happens inside. Not only is this science super fun but it also allows you to learn by witnessing many different chemicals react with one another. 

Essential for performing titrations, distillations and other short-term reactions in the laboratory

There are some fancy experiments in chemistry that you just can’t do without beakers or flasks. Titrations, in which you determine how much acid is in a solution, and distillations, in which you separate out liquids by boiling them, require these tools. They are super important for these experiments, because they help you measure and control what you're doing so precisely that you can insure that your experiment goes just right. 

Teach good lab skills and science concepts through lab experiences

Beakers and flasks aren’t just things you use to do experiments; they can teach you how scientists are supposed to be. You learn the importance of measuring carefully and of handling chemicals safely. Each time you wield these tools, you’re getting better at doing science. You read out of a book for sure, but you actually do a science, and that’s a powerful way of learning science and of remembering your science.
