American Educational 7-771000 Clear Borosilicate Glass 1000mL Flat Bomex Bottom Boiling Flask

The American Educational 7-771000 1000mL flat-bottom boiling flask is used for heating and boiling liquids. The single neck accepts a #8 stopper (sold separately). Flat-bottom flasks provide uniform heating and can be set on a surface. This flask is made of Code BJTY clear borosilicate glass for durability, chemical- and temperature-resistance, and high mechanical strength under harsh conditions, such as mechanical washing. Borosilicate glass has a low coefficient of thermal expansion and is resistant to thermal stress. The flask meets ISO 3585, Type 3.3 specifications for borosilicate glass. Boiling flasks are used for heating and boiling liquids, quality testing, sampling, and research, and in lab applications in chemistry, education, research, and life science applications. 

Flasks are glass or plastic containers for storing or collecting chemical samples or solutions in scientific laboratories. They come in a variety of sizes and shapes and are designed for a wide range of scientific processes. Erlenmeyer flasks, introduced by German chemist Emil Erlenmeyer in 1861, are shaped like a cone with a wide, flat base that narrows to a neck opening, which can be closed with a stopper or cap.
