Safe replacement for the boob tube

Range of polypropylene tubes are completely unbreakable and offer good chemical resistance, making them ideal for most types of laboratory experiments

Glass delivery tubes of the type commonly used in gas collection experiments are notoriously prone to breakage - and most laboratory technicians have the scars to prove it.

The problem is that glass tubes are very fragile and in most applications they have to be forced into a bung/stopper or side-arm rubber sleeve.

Constant breakages are not only dangerous, especially when they occur in schools, but also time consuming and can lead to high replacement costs.

Azlon, market leaders in reusable plastic labware, have developed a completely safe, low cost alternative.

Their new range of polypropylene tubes are completely unbreakable and offer good chemical resistance, making them ideal for most types of laboratory experiments.

The tubes are available in all of the key shapes used in the education syllabus in packs of five per single design - again ideal for school use because you don't need to waste money buying multiple packs of mixed designs.
