Cylinder

A graduated cylinder is a piece of laboratory glassware used to measure the volume of liquids accurately. Its tall, narrow design and clear graduation markings make it ideal for precise measurement in chemistry, biology, and research labs.

MaxBiochem graduated cylinders are typically made from high‑quality borosilicate glass or durable, autoclavable plastic depending on the model. Borosilicate glass offers excellent chemical resistance and thermal stability, while autoclavable plastics provide lightweight durability for routine lab use.

To read the volume accurately, place the cylinder on a flat surface, bring your eye level to the meniscus, and read the measurement at the lowest point of the curved liquid surface. This ensures precise results during experiments and solution preparation.

MaxBiochem offers graduated cylinders in a range of common laboratory sizes, from small capacities like 10 ml or 25 ml up to larger volumes such as 500 ml and 1000 ml. This allows you to choose the right size for your research or lab application.

After use, rinse the graduated cylinder with distilled water to remove residues. For more thorough cleaning, use a mild laboratory detergent and a soft brush, then rinse again. Avoid sudden temperature changes to prevent thermal shock and always handle glassware carefully to avoid breakage.
