Frequently asked questions
Common questions about UNITED SCIENTIFIC from 3G Electric.
What are the specifications of the United Scientific sterile serological pipettes?
The United Scientific sterile serological pipettes we carry are made of polystyrene and have a 1 mL capacity with 0.1 mL graduation increments. They are individually wrapped for single-use applications and meet ASTM E-934, which specifies requirements for serological pipettes including dimensions, graduations, and color coding. The yellow color indicates the 1 mL capacity. These pipettes are suitable for precise liquid handling in cell culture, microbiology, and general laboratory work where sterility and accuracy are required. They are disposable, which eliminates the need for washing and sterilization between uses.
What is included in the United Scientific organic chemistry glassware set?
The United Scientific organic chemistry glassware set (manufacturer part number ORGKIT-09) is a mixed glassware set intended for organic chemistry experiments such as distillation, reflux, and synthesis. It is made of glass and is suitable for educational and research laboratories. The set includes essential pieces for these procedures, though the exact contents are defined by the manufacturer. For a detailed component list, contact 3G Electric with the part number. This kit is typically used in university teaching labs and industrial R&D settings where a ready-to-use set of glassware for standard organic reactions is needed.
What material is the United Scientific acrylic burette set made of, and what is the plug type?
The United Scientific acrylic burette set (manufacturer part number 11503) is made of acrylic and features a self-lubricating PTFE plug. The PTFE plug does not require external lubrication, which reduces the risk of contamination in titration and chemical analysis. Acrylic is transparent and resistant to many aqueous solutions, making it suitable for educational and general laboratory titration work. The set is designed for precise liquid measurement and dispensing. It is not intended for use with strong organic solvents or concentrated acids that may attack acrylic. For compatibility questions, consult the chemical resistance data or contact 3G Electric.
What is the difference between the United Scientific glass and plastic lab starter kits?
United Scientific offers both glass and plastic lab starter kits. The glass starter kits (e.g., GLSKIT4) include borosilicate glass pieces for mixing, heating, measuring, and storing liquids. Borosilicate glass is resistant to thermal shock and chemical attack, making it suitable for heating and general laboratory procedures. The plastic starter kits (e.g., PLSKIT1, PLKIT20) contain assorted plasticware for basic experiments, sample handling, and liquid measurement. Plastic kits are lighter, less breakable, and often lower in cost, but they may have lower chemical resistance and cannot be heated. The choice depends on the application: glass for heating and chemical resistance, plastic for safety and economy in educational or basic lab settings.
Are United Scientific lab glassware sets suitable for industrial quality-control laboratories?
Yes. United Scientific lab glassware sets are used in educational, research, and quality-control settings. The borosilicate glass sets are appropriate for routine mixing, heating, measuring, and storing of samples in industrial QC labs. The organic chemistry kit supports distillation and reflux for sample preparation. The acrylic burette set is used for titration in chemical analysis. While these are not high-precision analytical instruments, they meet standard laboratory tolerances and are suitable for many QC applications. For trace analysis or regulated environments, verify that the glassware meets your specific accuracy and cleanliness requirements. 3G Electric can provide part numbers and specifications to assist with your evaluation.
How does 3G Electric support procurement of United Scientific labware?
