Enhancing Scientific Workflows with Premium Glassware

Quality advancements made through laboratory research cannot happen without reliable tools and consumables. In sample processing for environmental analysis, consistency and reproducibility are paramount, which is why Thermo Fisher Scientific places a strong focus on helping labs obtain the best quality products to support a streamlined workflow.

“We are always encouraging our customers to make bolder and more innovative choices, bringing technology and product development to the forefront of scientific practice,” says Claudia Biantara, Portfolio Leader at Thermo Fisher Scientific.

“By partnering with world-leading brands, we can act as a single point of contact to help labs simplify their ordering process and provide the best technical support.”

Through collaboration with precision labware provider DWK Life Sciences, Thermo Fisher Scientific has been able to offer an even more diverse selection of premium glassware to facilitate best practice in labs nation-wide.

From the production of heavy-duty beakers and bottles for media storage, to reusable pipettes and flasks, DWK Life Sciences is building on over 130 years of history as a known brand for diverse industry practice.

“Earning the trust of customers is a value that we share with DWK Life Sciences, and our collaborative efforts have seen many labs elevate the quality of their research simply by upgrading, or standardising, their glassware implements through our supply,” says Claudia Biantara.

“It’s also important to us to promote the benefits of using glassware in some instances where the ‘take, make, and disposal’ method it still common and contributing to the research sector’s negative environmental impact.”

While plastic is valued for its convenience in the scientific workflow, glass offers increased dimensional stability when exposed to high temperatures. Not only is it a reliable solution for chemical and reagent storage, it is also transparent and easier to keep clean to stringent laboratory standards.

DWK Life Sciences: A complete solution

DWK Life Sciences is focused on producing precision glassware suitable for the most demanding practical applications. They are one of the few glassware manufacturers in the world that conduct an end-to-end process encompassing glass melting, production from constituent raw materials, and forming, in which they harness state-of-the-art automatic production technology and hand manipulation skills.

Analytical sciences

Whether it be NMR spectroscopy, chromatography, biological oxygen demand (BOD) determination, or volumetric analysis, Thermo Fisher Scientific’s selection of DWK glassware products can ensure successful substance characterisation.

Cell culture

From liquid handling and media preparation to cell maintenance, incubation, and cryopreservation, the cell culture workflow can be bolstered through the use of robust flasks, pipettes, vials and storage bottles. DWK’s portfolio of glassware products can help to eliminate risk of contamination and constantly ensure authentic downstream results.

Lab essentials

According to DWK, quality and reliability are at the heart of a researcher’s work. Through Thermo Fisher Scientific, customers can access the broadest range of general laboratory products required in the day-to-day operations of a lab, including beakers, flasks, bottles, tubes, volumetrics, funnels, and containers.

Organic chemistry

Often, the organic chemistry workflow calls for specific filtration, desiccation, and chromatography implements for sample preparation, reaction, workup, and analysis. DWK’s glassware products aim so simplify and enhance every stage of research, supplemented by insights from Thermo Fisher Scientific on optimising the process.

Pharmaceutical and biotech

Laboratories world-over use and trust DWK’s selection of high-quality pharmaceutical and biotechnology glassware. Their selection of high-quality molded glass bottles and container systems are designed to meet pharmacopeial standards for sampling, analysis, processing, transport, and storage of high value materials, with manufacturing lot-specific certification.
