FAQs
Can I use these flasks with a Bunsen burner?
Yes, but you must use a wire gauze between the flask and the flame to distribute heat evenly and prevent thermal shock.
Are these flasks autoclavable?
Yes, Simax borosilicate glass is highly resistant to steam sterilization and can be safely autoclaved.
Do these flasks come with stoppers?
No, this product includes only the glass flasks. Stoppers or caps must be purchased separately based on your specific neck fitting needs.
What is the glass material?
The flasks are made of high-quality borosilicate glass, which offers superior thermal and chemical resistance.
Are there larger versions of this flask available?
Yes, Simax offers similar flat-bottom boiling flasks in 500ml and 1000ml capacities as part of their product line.
Troubleshooting
Flask cracked during heating
Ensure the flask is not placed directly on an open flame without wire gauze, and check that the glass was not subjected to sudden temperature changes (thermal shock).
Staining on the interior glass
Use a specialized laboratory glass cleaning solution or an acidic soak followed by thorough rinsing with deionized water.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your glassware, always inspect each flask for micro-fractures or chips before applying direct heat. When heating, always use an appropriate heating mantle or wire gauze to prevent localized thermal stress. For cleaning, these flasks are compatible with standard laboratory detergents and automated glasswashers; however, avoid using abrasive scrubbers that could scratch the glass surface. When storing, ensure the flasks are placed on a clean, padded surface to prevent impact damage.
