In today’s fast-paced world of education, research, and industrial workflows, laboratory plasticware has become a non-negotiable asset. From routine mixing to high-throughput sampling, the right plastic tools empower labs to stay safe, flexible, and cost-efficient. At Eqipped, our Laboratory Plasticware collection offers durable, chemical-resistant, and ergonomically designed products to support every lab application.
1. The Edge of Plasticware in Modern Laboratories
-
Exceptionally Durable & Safe
Resistant to breakage and shattering, plasticware minimizes risk in high-movement or student-operated environments. -
Lightweight & Ergonomic
Designed for ease of handling, especially during prolonged workflows or tasks involving substantial volume transfers. -
Affordable & Adaptable
Offering reusable and single-use options, plasticware is excellent for labs with diverse needs and budget constraints. -
Sterilizable for Hygiene
Materials like polypropylene withstand autoclaving—perfect for maintaining sterile workflows while maximizing reuse. -
Perfect for Contamination-Sensitive Work
Disposable plasticware offers clean, sterile surfaces essential for molecular biology, microbiology, and diagnostics.
2. Choosing the Right Plastic Type for Your Lab
| Plastic Type | Best Use Case | Distinct Advantage |
|---|---|---|
| Polypropylene (PP) | Beakers, storage bottles, tubes | Heat- and chemical-resistant |
| Polyethylene (LDPE/HDPE) | Wash bottles, flexible containers | Rigid (HDPE) or adaptable form (LDPE) |
| Polymethylpentene (PMP) | Measuring cylinders | Exceptional clarity and thermal stability |
| Polystyrene (PS) | Petri dishes, cuvettes | Clear and lightweight, though brittle |
| Polycarbonate (PC) | High-impact items like shields | Durable and autoclavable |
| PTFE (Teflon) | Corrosive or high-temp applications | Extreme chemical and heat resistance |
3. Essential Plasticware for Every Laboratory Task
-
Beakers & Graduated Cylinders – For mixing, heating, and volume estimation—highly durable and practical.
-
Flasks (Erlenmeyer & Volumetric) – Ideal for storing and standardizing solutions; balancing precision with durability.

4. Best Practices to Maximize Plasticware Performance
-
Select Material Strategically
Use PMP for clarity-based applications. Choose PP or PC for heavy-duty or sterile work. -
Maintain Cleanliness & Sterility
Clean with non-abrasive methods and sterilize only if the material is compatible with autoclaving. -
Monitor Wear and Tear
Replace worn or clouded plasticware to maintain accurate measurements and safe operation. -
Balance Reuse and Disposal
Maximize use of sterilizable plastics but use disposables when contamination risks demand it.
