Scientific glassblowing safety

Scientific glassblowing is a basic industry within the larger scientific community. Glass is a wonderful medium for chemists allowing the creation of classic standard apparatus and new custom vessels to achieve the next level of excellence. The most commonly recognized form of scientific glass is the borosilicate glass family. This line of glass is produced by many companies and is often simply referred to as Pyrex. Pyrex is a brand name produced by Corning and is recognized as an extremely versatile product for its ability to host a wide array of chemical experiments. Many of these experiments can be very dangerous and the reactions in the glass are often thought of as the only dangers in the process. Many dangers can lie within the creation of the vessels used to host these experiments.
