Description
Glass beads, solid, Ø 6 mm, AR glass are precision spherical packing elements designed for laboratory columns, distillation systems and general chemical apparatus. Produced as solid spheres from AR glass with a uniform diameter of 6 mm, they function as inert filler bodies that encourage even liquid and vapour distribution while offering chemical resistance under typical laboratory conditions. The 1 kg pack size is practical for routine bench-scale tasks as well as larger preparative setups requiring consistent packing density. These beads from manufacturer Rettberg, supplied under the Rettberg ® registered trademark, are classified as packing bodies (Füllkörper) and originate from Czech production. Their solid AR-glass build provides mechanical robustness and dimensional stability, supporting reproducible flow characteristics in packed columns or as mixing aids. Because the spheres are non-porous and free of coatings, they introduce little background interference in many analytical and process applications. Laboratories use such glass beads for distillation, extraction, scrubbing and as general inert packing media wherever uniform spherical geometry and glass inertness are advantageous.

Questions about Glass beads, Ø 6 mm, solid, Soda-lime glass
What is this article?
Glass beads, Ø 6 mm, solid, Soda-lime glass is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Rettberg for laboratory use. It sits in Grease, boiling stones & sealants, inside Tools & accessories, in Labware.
Grease seals a ground joint. Boiling stones give a liquid a place to start boiling so it does not bump. A sealant does the same job as grease when grease would contaminate the product. They are small, and they decide whether a joint weeps.
The small tools of the bench are what the hand actually holds: a spatula for a powder, forceps for an object that must stay clean, a brush for a narrow neck, a desiccator when a dried sample must not take up water again. None of these reads a measurement. They keep the measurement possible. The apparatus around them is listed under ISO laboratory apparatus.
