AMBER FLASKS

Amber Flasks

Amber flasks are essential tools in laboratories that work with photosensitive substances such as chemical solutions, reagents, and biological samples. Their distinctive design, featuring amber glass that filters ultraviolet and visible light, protects solutions from degradation caused by light exposure. This makes them a crucial tool for ensuring the stability and quality of liquids during experiments and storage.

At Pobel, we offer a range of high-quality laboratory flasks designed to meet the needs of chemical, pharmaceutical, and environmental laboratories.

What Are Amber Flasks and What Are They Used For?

Amber flasks are volumetric glass containers specifically designed to protect photosensitive liquids from light exposure. These flasks are precisely calibrated and available in different formats, such as volumetric and round-bottom flasks, to suit various laboratory applications.

They are used for handling, measuring, and storing chemical substances that may degrade when exposed to light, such as vitamin solutions, organic compounds, and specialized reagents.

Unique Features of Amber Flasks

Amber flasks have specific characteristics that make them indispensable in scientific environments:

• Light Protection: Amber glass blocks UV and visible radiation, preventing photodegradation of stored substances.
• Borosilicate Glass Construction: Highly resistant to chemicals and temperature fluctuations.
• Precise Graduations: Allow for accurate volume measurements with confidence.
• Compatibility with Airtight Stoppers: Ensures that solutions remain isolated from external contaminants and prevents evaporation losses.
• Variety of Capacities: Available in sizes ranging from small volumes for testing to large capacities for extended storage.

Advantages of Amber Flasks in the Laboratory

Using amber flasks in the laboratory offers several key benefits:

• Sample Stability: Protects photosensitive liquids from light-induced degradation, preserving their chemical integrity.
• Versatility: Suitable for a wide range of applications, from solution preparation to long-term storage.
• Guaranteed Precision: Calibrated graduations ensure accurate measurements, which are essential for critical experiments.
• High Durability: Made from borosilicate glass, resistant to corrosive chemicals and extreme thermal changes.

These advantages make amber flasks an essential tool in chemical, pharmaceutical, and research laboratories.

Applications of Amber Flasks

Amber flasks are highly versatile and used in a variety of scientific and industrial applications:

• Storage of Photosensitive Reagents: Ideal for substances such as vitamins, peroxides, and organic solutions.
• Preparation of Chemical Solutions: Suitable for mixing and diluting light-sensitive liquids.
• Organic Synthesis Experiments: Protects intermediate compounds from photodegradation during reactions.
• Analytical Chemistry Studies: Essential for samples that must remain stable during analysis.
• Environmental Studies: Used to preserve water and soil samples containing light-sensitive compounds.

How to Choose the Right Amber Flask

Selecting the right amber flask is essential to ensuring precision and safety in the laboratory. Key factors to consider include:

• Capacity: Choose a flask size that matches your procedure’s volume requirements.
• Flask Type: Volumetric flasks are ideal for precise measurements, while round-bottom flasks are perfect for chemical reactions or heating.
• Compatibility with Stoppers: If planning to store solutions for extended periods, select models that accommodate airtight stoppers.
• Compliance with Standards: Ensure that the flasks meet international laboratory standards, such as ISO regulations.
