Description
Glass beads, reflex beads are soda-lime glass spheres sized 1,25–1,55 mm in diameter for laboratory boiling and packing duties. The 1 kg pack delivers beads with a density of 2,5 g/cm³, giving a stable, free-flowing medium for flasks and reactors. Used as boiling stones or loose packing, they encourage regular bubble formation, improve heat transfer and help limit sudden bumping during heating, distillation or concentration steps. The mid-range diameter balances surface area with easy handling, suiting both small-scale and preparative glassware. Soda-lime glass construction supports routine chemical resistance in typical aqueous and many organic laboratory media. These reflex beads (ROTH SELECTION) belong to standard labware for cleaning, care and boiling aids. The 1 kg unit quantity is convenient for bench stock and shared preparation areas. Select this size when a slightly coarser bead than sub-millimetre grades is preferred for robust agitation and reliable vapour release under controlled heating.

What is this article?
Glass beads, reflex beads, made of soda-lime glass, Ø 1.25 - 1.55mm, 1 kg is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Carl Roth for laboratory use. It sits in Laboratory cleaners & detergents, inside Cleaning & disinfection, in Lab safety equipment.
A laboratory cleaner removes soil, grease and residues from glassware and benches. Phosphate, surfactant and whether it is for a machine or for the hand are the differences. A cleaner is not a disinfectant unless a biocidal claim is printed, with a contact time.
Cleaning removes soil. Disinfection kills or inactivates microbes that remain. They are not the same step, and a disinfectant on top of dirt does less than the label claims. The spectrum, the contact time and the surface decide the product. A wipe is the mechanical half of the same job. Chemical classification is on ECHA. Workplace practice is EU-OSHA on dangerous substances. Biosafety context is the WHO biosafety topic.
