Laboratory beakers, constructed of various types of glass, plastic, or metal, may be used for measuring, mixing, pouring, or heating liquids, depending on their construction. The wide-mouth opening of a beaker provides easy access to add ingredients, mix using a stir bar or stir rod, introduce an ion selective electrode or thermometer, and perform other laboratory procedures. A pour spout facilitates controlled pouring into other vessels. Graduated markings on the side, when present, offer less accuracy and precision than graduated cylinders and volumetric flasks.

Fisherbrand™ Reusable Glass Heavy-Duty Low-Form Beakers feature a sturdy construction ideal for mechanical shock and other harsh applications. Spout is designed for optimum performance.
A sturdy, molded glass handle is secured to this beaker by a stainless steel strap which fits into a recess in the beaker wall. Hot liquids can be handled easily and safely.
The DURAN™ SUPER DUTY products are characterized by a higher mechanical strength achieved by reinforcing the rim. As a result of this modification, the impact strength is improved, and the risk of accidental breakage is significantly reduced.
