Hollow Stoppers

The Hollow Stoppers are engineered ground glass joint closures designed to provide secure, leakproof sealing for volumetric flasks, distillation apparatus, and standardized ground-joint glassware. Manufactured from high-purity glass, these hexagonal hollow stoppers are available in both flat bottom and tipped bottom configurations across standard N/S joint dimensions. The ergonomic hexagonal head prevents rolling on laboratory benches when laid down, significantly reducing breakage risks and surface contamination. Designed to provide precision ground sealing, these stoppers prevent reagent evaporation, air exposure, and liquid leakage during storage or mixing operations. Suitable for chemical synthesis, analytical chemistry, pharmaceutical research, environmental testing, and academic laboratories. Supplied by Edulabs.

Storage Instructions

  • Store stoppers organized in compartmentalized storage trays or padded drawers sorted by joint size.

  • Keep in a clean, dry location free from chemical vapors to preserve ground glass surfaces.

  • Clean ground glass surfaces thoroughly before storage to prevent residual chemical cementing.

  • Avoid storing stoppers loosely packed together to prevent chipping of ground joints or hexagonal tops.

  • Store separately from jointed glassware or place tissue paper between joint connections during long-term storage.

  • Protect flat or tipped bottom ends from direct impact against hard surfaces.

Safety Information

  • Inspect ground joint surfaces for chips, cracks, or erosion prior to fitting into glassware joints.

  • Wear standard lab coat, protective safety glasses, and suitable gloves when handling chemical glassware apparatus.

  • Do not apply excessive force or twist aggressively when inserting stoppers to avoid glass binding or neck fracture.

  • Use appropriate inert grease or PTFE sleeves if working with concentrated alkalis to prevent joint seizure.

  • Ensure internal vessel pressure is vented appropriately before inserting stoppers into containers with reactive media.

  • Clean off all chemical residues post-experiment before removing or storing ground stoppers.

  • Handle glass stoppers carefully by the ergonomic hexagonal top to maintain firm control.

The Hollow Stoppers supplied by Edulabs offer high-performance sealing capability for standard ground joint glassware assemblies. Designed specifically for compatibility with volumetric flasks, mixing cylinders, reaction flasks, and distillation apparatus, these stoppers deliver a leak-tight seal essential for volatile sample containment and accurate solution storage.

Constructed from chemical-resistant borosilicate glass, these hollow stoppers offer high resistance against corrosive chemical reagents, solvents, acids, and aggressive chemicals. The hollow interior design reduces weight while maintaining structural strength, ensuring smooth handling and minimal center-of-mass shift when fitted onto lightweight volumetric glassware.

These stoppers are available in two functional designs: flat bottom (Hexa, flat bottom) and pointed drip tip (Hexa, with tip). The flat bottom design provides a stable resting base when placed upright, while the tipped design allows liquid condensates or splashes to drip smoothly back into the vessel stem without pooling around the ground joint zone.

Featuring an ergonomic hexagonal head, these stoppers offer an easy grip during insertion and removal, even when wearing laboratory safety gloves. The flat hexagonal facets prevent the stopper from rolling off lab benches, reducing accidental glass breakage and cross-contamination risks. Precision ground in conformity with standard N/S taper joint dimensions, Edulabs hollow stoppers provide dependable interchangeability across laboratory glassware systems.
