Frequently asked questions
Common questions about SIBATA from 3G Electric.
What are the specifications of SIBATA serological pipettes available from 3G Electric?
SIBATA serological pipettes offered by 3G Electric are made of glass and are non-sterile, not individually wrapped. They are available in capacities including 1 mL, 5 mL, 10 mL, and 20 mL. Graduation increments vary by capacity: 0.2 mL for 1 mL, 0.5 mL for 5 mL and some 10 mL models, and 0.1 mL for other 10 mL and 20 mL models. These pipettes feature a wide tip design, which facilitates handling of viscous or particulate-containing fluids. They are suitable for general laboratory liquid measurement and transfer. For precise volumetric work, consider the graduation increment relative to the volume being measured. 3G Electric provides manufacturer part numbers and can assist with selection based on your application requirements.
What is the difference between the SIBATA microfiltration assemblies with fritted glass and stainless steel?
The SIBATA microfiltration assemblies differ primarily in material and funnel capacity. The fritted glass filter holder (MPN 6168-0001) has a 47 mm diameter fritted glass filter and a 300 mL funnel capacity. The stainless steel filter holder (MPN 6168-0002) accommodates 47 mm diameter membranes and has a 15 mL funnel capacity. Both are non-sterile and designed for vacuum-assisted separation of particulates from liquids. The choice depends on the volume to be filtered and chemical compatibility: fritted glass is inert to many chemicals but may be unsuitable for strongly alkaline solutions, while stainless steel offers durability and resistance to a broad range of chemicals. 3G Electric stocks both models and can provide further technical details.
Do SIBATA Class B graduated cylinders meet ASTM E1272 and USP Type I specifications?
Yes, the SIBATA Class B glass graduated cylinder, such as the 2 L model (SKU 55EZ49), meets ASTM E1272 and USP Type I specifications. It is calibrated to contain (TC) with 20 mL graduation increments from 100 mL to 2 L. The cylinder features a double metric scale and does not include a closure. Class B cylinders have a wider tolerance than Class A, making them suitable for general laboratory applications where high accuracy is not critical. The USP Type I specification refers to the borosilicate glass composition, which has a low coefficient of expansion and high chemical resistance. 3G Electric supplies this cylinder and can provide documentation on compliance.
What are the applications for SIBATA microfiltration assemblies in industrial laboratories?
SIBATA microfiltration assemblies are used for vacuum-assisted separation of particulates from liquids in industrial laboratories. Typical applications include sample preparation for analytical techniques such as HPLC or ICP-MS, clarification of solvents, and particulate testing of fluids. The 47 mm diameter filter holder accepts standard membranes, allowing flexibility in pore size selection. The fritted glass model with 300 mL funnel capacity is suited for larger volume filtration, while the stainless steel model with 15 mL capacity is appropriate for small-volume samples. These assemblies are non-sterile, so they are not intended for sterile filtration unless used with sterile membranes and aseptic technique. 3G Electric can advise on membrane compatibility and filtration protocols.
How does 3G Electric support the SIBATA product line for global customers?
3G Electric supports the SIBATA product line by maintaining inventory of selected items, providing technical specifications, and facilitating global shipping.
