Kettle

Lab kettles are essential laboratory glassware designed for heating and mixing various substances. These cylindrical containers come in a range of sizes and are typically made from borosilicate glass, which is resistant to thermal stress. Lab kettles have flat or rounded bottoms, with an open neck and a vertical, tubular neck for attaching lab condensers, stoppers, or other lab apparatus. They are used for processes like distillation, reflux, and chemical reactions, making them a fundamental component in chemistry, biology, and pharmaceutical research. Lab kettles can be heated directly with a Bunsen burner or placed on a heating mantle, providing a controlled environment for experiments requiring uniform temperature and mixing.
