Flat Bottom Flask
Flat Bottom Flask (Product Code: SCL196/029) is a 500 ml flask in clear borosilicate glass whose flat base lets it stand steadily on the bench, used for boiling and holding solutions, preparing reagents and setting up respiration and fermentation experiments in biology and chemistry laboratories. Its heat- and chemical-resistant glass makes it a dependable piece of borosilicate glassware in India’s school and college labs. It is made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), an OEM manufacturer, at its own factory in Ambala, India.

What Is the Flat Bottom Flask Used For?
In biology practicals the flask is used to boil water and to make up starch or sugar solutions, to hold germinating seeds when showing that respiration gives off carbon dioxide (with lime water in a connected tube), and to run simple yeast fermentation set-ups closed with a cork and delivery tube. The 500 ml volume leaves room for a useful amount of solution while the flask is still easy to swirl by hand.
When heating, fill it no more than about half, stand it on a wire gauze over the flame and clamp the neck. Although the borosilicate glass resists heat and chemicals, warm it gradually and never heat it empty. Because the base is flat, it can also be left standing on the bench to store a prepared solution between lessons.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the capacity of the Flat Bottom Flask?
The Flat Bottom Flask holds 500 ml. Graduations are not listed for it, so measure volumes with a measuring cylinder before pouring them in, and treat the flask as a vessel for heating, mixing and holding rather than for measuring.
Can the Flat Bottom Flask be heated?
Yes. The Flat Bottom Flask is made of heat-resistant borosilicate glass. Heat it on a wire gauze rather than in a bare flame, warm it gradually, fill it no more than about half and never heat it empty.
Is a stopper included with the Flat Bottom Flask?
A stopper is not listed with the Flat Bottom Flask. Corks are available separately; confirm the neck size with ScienceLab through the contact page so that a stopper of the right size can be quoted with it.
Which chemicals can the Flat Bottom Flask hold?
The Flat Bottom Flask is made of chemical-resistant borosilicate glass, which suits the acids, alkalis, salts, sugars and stains used in school and college practicals. Label the contents clearly if a solution is stored in it between lessons.
Who manufactures the Flat Bottom Flask?
The Flat Bottom Flask (SCL196/029) is manufactured by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), the OEM, at its own licensed factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India. Institutions and dealers buy it factory-direct, with quotations issued by the manufacturer.
How should the Flat Bottom Flask be cleaned?
Rinse the Flat Bottom Flask soon after use, scrub it with a bottle brush and mild detergent, rinse with distilled water and leave it to dry upside down on a rack so no water pools in the base.
Can the Flat Bottom Flask be ordered for a whole laboratory?
Yes. The Flat Bottom Flask can be quoted in laboratory quantities; provide the number required and the delivery address. ScienceLab supplies institutions and dealers in India and international markets directly from its Ambala factory.
