Product Description
A 50 mL glass beaker is a cylindrical laboratory vessel used for measuring, stirring, and heating small volumes of liquids. Typically crafted from heavy-duty, heat-resistant borosilicate 3.3 glass, it features clear graduation markings, a flat base, and a pouring spout for clean, spill-free transfers.
