Good quality burettes

Post by Merilyn1 »

I was wondering if anyone had bought burettes recently that they are happy with. I'm also looking to buy some large (1L) volumetric flasks. I found an older post of people frustrated with poor quality equipment so I'm not alone! I would rather spend the extra and get something that will last. I also get annoyed with companies that supply something that looks very different to their photo on their website.

Appreciate some feedback. Thanks.

Should have a tiny O-ring at the top of the tip, where it goes inside the orange holder bizzo.

If not, give them a call. I bought a few extra tips last time I bought burettes, as part of the Irish solution, You know - to be sure, to be sure! :w00t:

Success! :clap3: I attached the burette to the clamp and soaked the tip in water overnight. It is now clear!

Which Burettes from Westlab? Interchangeable stopcocks seem a good idea.
