Could you recommend some good brands of domestic glass?
Thread Content
The company I work for (a private enterprise) needs to purchase some chemical glassware. Which brands available in China offer a good user experience? I remember there was one from Beijing with better quality; it felt great to use. It seems that there are many counterfeit Gear brand products; they have thin walls and are easy to break, isn’t that right? Let’s share our experiences based on the recommendations that everyone is currently using. Although glassware doesn’t account for the largest portion, it is used frequently, so I want to buy products that are of good quality at reasonable prices.
Beibao’s burners and Tiangbo’s measuring devices are better!
Tianbo’s measuring instruments are quite good; most of our volumetric flasks and pipettes are from Tianbo, and their accuracy is quite high. Perhaps it’s due to geographical factors; we produce a large number of flasks in Harbin, and their quality is good. As long as they aren’t damaged through dropping, they can generally be used for a long time. I’d like to remind the original poster: definitely avoid buying measuring devices produced by small factories. Once, I bought 200 100mL measuring cylinders, and the store temporarily supplied me with some from a small factory; out of those, only about a dozen were of acceptable quality – a pass rate of less than 10%. :L
Beibao’s is better, but it seems they no longer produce it. Crystal flowers work too. Choose measuring tools carefully!
I recommend Tianbo’s; it’s the most widely used.
I think the gears are more useful than those from Tianbo, but the ones I buy each time are a bit different; their quality is not very consistent. I’m not sure if it’s due to counterfeiting as mentioned by the original poster, which is why I now use Tianbo gears more often. We use a variety of flasks and bottles here, but we found that Shunu is quite good; there’s also another brand with letters on it, whose name I can’t read……
Thank you all. I’ll go with the skywave one
In fact, the quality of glassware can be determined with the naked eye; relatively speaking, Beibao and Tianbo produce better-quality products, while those from other manufacturers are of average quality. The main issue is that sales staff sometimes don’t understand this – you just need to tell them to choose the more expensive options. That’s what I used to ask our sales staff to do, and as a result the quality improved significantly.
