Scientific glass equipment manufacturers

At Glass Solutions, we take pride in being one of the top scientific glass equipment manufacturers in the UK, delivering precision-crafted products that meet the stringent demands of the scientific community.

High quality scientific glassware is often overlooked as a critical part of the R&D or manufacturing process, but similarly to the tyres on your car (that only part to touch the road) glass components are normally the only thing in direct contact with your chemical process. Having the right elements for success is essential when trying to push the boundaries, without the right glassware it’s like trying to drive on ice with summer tyres, it just doesn’t work.

Glass Solutions stands out as a premier manufacturer of scientific glass equipment. Our commitment to quality scientific glass blowing is evident in every piece we produce, leveraging cutting-edge technology and a team of skilled craftsmen to create glassware that exceeds industry standards. From laboratory borosilicate glass tubes to specialized jointed flasks, or distillation system, our extensive knowhow caters to the diverse needs of science labs and industrial setups alike.

Glass Solutions is committed to providing state-of-the-art scientific glassware, whether that be a simple borosilicate glass tube or a complex vacuum jacketed distillation system all meticulously crafted by our team of exceptional scientific glass blowers. Bespoke glass and industrial glassware frequently rely on the use of borosilicate glass, renowned for its durability and resistance to thermal shock. Its chemical resistance and optical clarity make it the ideal choice for an endless variety of chemical process applications, able to stand the test of time in the rigorous environments of laboratories and industrial facilities.

Beyond manufacturing exceptional laboratory glass, Glass Solutions goes the extra mile by offering a suite of services tailored to meet the specific needs of our customers whether that be a complex glass component or more traditional laboratory equipment. Whether you require custom designs, logo branding, or assistance in overcoming design challenges, our team is dedicated to turning your vision into a tangible reality. We collaborate closely with engineers, instrument manufacturers, and professionals in the chemical industry to deliver bespoke solutions that align with your unique requirements.

Laboratory glassware is a fundamental part of any science lab, as ubiquitous as a weighing balance or fume cupboard. In its simplest form lab glassware is a vessel, flask or tube to hold chemicals, in some cases keeping its contents safe from the outside world of decades. At the more complex end of the spectrum are vacuum distillation systems, wiped film evaporators, vacuum jacket reactors, optical cells, and many other examples.

While the primary focus of Glass Solutions is serving engineers and chemical engineers that are either manufacturing systems which include a glass component or producing a chemical product and need glassware with the production environment. It also has many years of experience working direct with end users and therefore built up a thorough understanding of the discovery and development process. No matter where you are on your journey, you should find it straight forward to convey your requirements with minimum friction.

Application examples:

• Reaction
• Filtration
• Concentration
• Evaporation
• Purification
• Separations
• Distillation
• Gas collection and emission
• Bio reactors
• Laser and optical analysis

The laboratory is a hazardous environment, ensuring that laboratory glassware is correctly designed and specified is essential to keep users safe. Glass Solutions knowledge of end user applications and glass engineering mean that we are the perfect partner when developing any new lab equipment. We are happy to work with your development team and share the insights which have been accumulated over decades. Other laboratory glassware manufacturers may have some of this knowledge too, but they are unlikely to have the experience of applying this to a marketable product or controlled production process.

Many supply chain managers take the approach of “cheapest, good enough” supplier.  However, for something as specialised as bespoke laboratory glassware you simply can’t take a risk. The customer’s safety and your company’s reputation is at stake, can you afford to take a risk on just “good enough”. Glass Solutions offers best in class levels of service, superior product quality alongside fair and transparent pricing, you could say “best value, best quality”.
