The smartest labs know: success isn’t about choosing plastic or glass—it’s about knowing when to use each. At Eqipped, our Laboratory Plasticware Glassware category brings together both material types, empowering your lab to operate with the perfect combination of safety, accuracy, and practicality.
Plasticware vs. Glassware: When Each Material Wins
Plasticware — Safe, Ergonomic, and Budget-Savvy
Resistant to Breakage: Ideal for classrooms, high-movement labs, and routine tasks.
Lightweight Comfortable: Easier to handle during long workflows or when working in large volumes.
Cost-Effective Versatile: Available in both reusable and disposable formats—perfect for balancing budget and workflow needs.
Autoclavable Options: Materials like polypropylene (PP) simplify sterilization without additional cost.
Glassware — The Gold Standard for Precision
Heat Chemical Resistance: Borosilicate glass handles high temperatures and corrosive substances better—perfect for advanced applications.
Crystal-Clear Clarity: Ideal for accurate measurement and reaction monitoring.
Durability Longevity: When properly cared for, glassware serves for years, offering excellent value.
Choosing What Works Best: A Quick Comparison
| Lab Scenario | Best Material | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| Student or high-traffic labs | Plastic | Safer, lighter, and harder to break |
| Heating or solvent-heavy work | Glass | Stronger against heat and chemical wear |
| Routine, high-volume tasks | Plastic | Affordable and easy to replace or clean |
| Accurate volume measurements | Glass | Calibrated and highly precise |
| Contamination-sensitive processes | Plastic | Disposable for cleaner handling |
