Scientific Laboratory Glassware Repair | Merge Scientific Solutions
Scientific glassware repair is a critical aspect of glassblowing shops, which often specialize in high-tech recycling. As part of their day-to-day operations, these shops undertake repairs of various laboratory glassware items. While repairing beakers and test tubes may seem simple, the shops are capable of handling more complex glassware items with precision. However, it's worth noting that repairing such intricate equipment comes with a risk, and the glassblowers must exercise caution while working on them.
How it works
Why Merge Scientific Solutions?
Broken Laboratory Glassware
Individually, each piece of broken laboratory glass is a unique situation although the fix is often straight forward: reattach or replace a new joint, thread, or stopcock, seal a star crack, fill chips in a flange, etc.
Fast & Reliable
At Merge Scientific we understand that a broken piece of glassware can cause serious setbacks for the user and we will try to accommodate your needs for rapid service when necessary.
Efficiency
We maintain a stock of most sizes of tubing and components, so we often have the necessary materials in hand. We do charge to expedite orders, and we will be clear when we are not able do so.

Scientific Glassware Cleaning
At Merge Scientific we require that laboratory glassware needing a repair, needs to be clean. We must know what any contamination might be. In the course of repair, the glassblower frequently needs to connect a blowtube to the glass to blow and/or suck to work a seal.
If you ship Merge Scientific Solutions any glassware for repair, please pack it carefully. This generally means plenty of packing between items; we like bubble pack around the glass, and starch based foam pellets (Eco-Foam or Renature) to fill. Leave plenty of room between the items and the walls of the box. Best is to overfill the box with pellets, then snug them down when you tape the box closed; this locks the glassware in place within the box. Remember, the shippers are specifically allowed to drop any box four feet, and don't think they won't. We also like it if you can put tape over the nasty sharp edges, so we don't shred our fingers unwrapping.
