Abstract
The availability of various types of glass in the form of laboratory ware and the ease of fabrication of glass into special apparatus provides a valuable aid to the analytical chemist in many ways. Simple composition, good chemical durability and good thermal shock properties have made borosilicate glass a leader in general analytical applications. 96% silica glass has all the advantageous properties of borosilicate glass plus excellent thermal shock resistance and high service temperature characteristics. Other glasses, such as alkali resistant glass, low actinic glass, and aluminosilicate glass, are unique in their properties of good durability to alkaline solutions, absorption of ultraviolet light, and high service temperature respectively. Glasses with tailored optical transmittance or thermal expansions characteristics are useful in special applications. Progress in any field of science is dependent on the tools available for experimentation and glass, because of its versatility and flexibility, plays a vital role as an important laboratory implement for the analytical chemist.
