BOROSILICATE GLASS 3.3
Technical specifications of LBG 3.3 glassware
LBG 3.3 is a borosilicate glass with a minimum content in silica of 80% and a low expansion coefficient (3.3•10-6 K-1) included in the 3.3 borosilicate
group, as defined in ISO 3585 standard.
It is used in products where chemical and mechanical resistance is to be combined with resistance to sudden temperature changes. This particular
combination of properties makes this type of glass the most used in labware.

Premium Line ULTRA LOW RETENTION tips:
the best accuracy for critical molecular biology routine
The sample retention within the tip is a important aspect of
handling issues.
Usually technicians were applying silicon inside tips but this may
give contamination problems.
labbox Premium Line ULR tips are manufactured with a new
polymer (Novelle-Polypropylene) producing a slippery wall where
no sample is retained . This polymer give a better performance
once autoclaved.
This method reduce 85% the sample retention and lower in more
than 75% the standard volume deviation.
They are specially recommended for molecular biology application,
specially in DNA analysis, quantitative PCR and protein handling.
Available with filter and without filter.

Technical specifications of porcelain
Thermal Shock Resistance:
Average coefficient of expansion from 20 ºC to 200 ºC is 3.56 x 10-5 , gradually increasing to 4.69 x 10-5 at 1000 ºC.
To prevent thermal stress cracks on porcelain ware, labbox strongly recommends a heating/cooling rate not to
exceed 200 ºC/hour.
Resistance to Chemical Action:
The resistance to acids and alkalis is excellent, except for hydrofluoric acid.
Prolonging labware life:
- Follow gradual heating and cooling rates.
- Use an oven or hot plate as an intermediate step when quicker
heating/cooling rates are required.
- Gradually increase flame intensity when using a gas burner.
- Avoid contact of heated ware with a cold surface.
- Carefully inspect your labware prior to each use
- Do not use any product that appears defective.

Technical specifications of alumina
Made of pure aluminum oxyde (AL2O3 at 99.6%)
Used in metallurgy and other fields where high temperatures combined with high
chemical resistance are required.
It can be used in reducing or oxidizing atmospheres. Inert in hydrogen or carbonic
atmospheres.
Suitable for melting glass, borosilicate glass included.
Recommended to with refractory metals such as molybdenum, platinum,
tungsten, tantalum, rhodium and iridium. To avoid cracks due to thermal stress
on alumina, labbox recommended the speed of warming / cooling does not
exceed 150 ° C / hour.
