The MEDILAB Round Bottom Narrow Neck Flask is a precision-crafted laboratory vessel designed for heating, boiling, distillation, and chemical reaction processes. Its spherical body ensures uniform heat distribution, while the narrow neck supports secure sealing, controlled evaporation, and safe handling. An essential tool for chemistry, pharmaceuticals, biotech, and research labs, this flask provides dependable performance under demanding laboratory and industrial conditions.

Key Features

• Uniform Heating Performance: Round-bottom design ensures even thermal distribution, minimising hot spots during heating and reflux operations.
• High Chemical Resistance: Suitable for acids, solvents, alkalis, and organic reagents without leaching or degradation.
• Heat Shock Resistant: Withstands rapid temperature changes, making it ideal for heating, cooling, and autoclaving.
• Narrow Neck Design: Allows secure fitting of stoppers, condensers, and adapters for distillation and synthesis setups.
• Precision Manufacturing: Produced with consistent wall thickness for accuracy, strength, and long operational life.
• Leak-Proof Fit: Compatible with standardised joints and rubber stoppers for safe experimental setups.
• Durable Laboratory Construction: Scratch-resistant, easy to clean, and designed for repeated heating cycles.
