Description
Melting point apparatus according to Thiele, borosilicate glass 3.3, 120 x 20 mm is a traditional glass laboratory instrument used for determining the melting points of solid organic and inorganic substances. The Thiele design enables uniform heat distribution when the apparatus is immersed in a suitable heating bath, allowing clear visual observation of the sample transition from solid to liquid. Manufactured from borosilicate glass 3.3, the tube offers good thermal shock resistance and chemical durability for repeated laboratory use. The overall dimensions of 120 x 20 mm provide a convenient size that fits standard melting-point setups and accommodates capillary sample tubes. Supplied as a single piece from manufacturer Hecht, this apparatus is well suited to teaching laboratories, quality-control routines and research environments where classical melting-point determination remains an essential identification and purity check. Its straightforward construction supports reliable everyday analytical work without complex instrumentation.
This article is part of Tube & vial accessories, in Tubes & vials.

Questions about Thiele melting point determination tube, borosilicate glass 3.3 120 x 20 mm
What is this article?
Thiele melting point determination tube, borosilicate glass 3.3 120 x 20 mm is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Hecht for laboratory use. It sits in Tube & vial accessories, inside Tubes & vials, in Labware.
Accessories for tubes and vials are the caps, the septa, the labels and the holders that are not the tube itself. A cap that does not match the thread is a different product, even when it looks close.
A tube holds a small sample upright. A test tube is the open glass or plastic cylinder. A centrifuge tube is conical so a pellet forms at the tip, and it is rated for a centrifugal force the rotor will actually reach. A vial is a small closed bottle, often for a sample that will sit in an instrument. NMR tubes are a special case: the glass has to be uniform or the spectrum is the tube, not the sample. Laboratory ware is listed under ISO laboratory glassware.
Which category should I open next?
