Beaker brushes are a simple but essential piece of laboratory cleaning equipment, used to thoroughly clean the internal surfaces of beakers, cylinders, flasks, and other cylindrical glassware. A good quality beaker brush ensures reagent residues are fully removed between uses, maintaining the integrity of experiments and preventing cross-contamination.
At Hurst Scientific, we supply beaker brushes and laboratory cleaning brushes to laboratories, schools, and research facilities across Australia.
Standard Beaker Brushes feature a long handle with a cylindrical bristle head sized to clean the inside of standard laboratory beakers. They are available in various sizes to suit different beaker volumes, from small 50ml beakers through to large 2L vessels.
Cylinder Brushes are longer and narrower, designed for cleaning graduated cylinders, test tubes, burettes, and other narrow glassware where a standard beaker brush cannot reach the base effectively.
What size beaker brush do I need? Select a brush with a bristle diameter slightly larger than the opening of the glassware you are cleaning. This ensures the bristles make firm contact with the internal walls. Most laboratory brush sets include a range of sizes to cover common glassware.
What are laboratory brushes made from? Most laboratory brushes feature nylon or natural bristles attached to a twisted wire handle. Nylon bristles offer good chemical resistance and are suitable for most laboratory cleaning applications. Always check bristle compatibility with the solvents or cleaning agents you are using.
Can beaker brushes be used with laboratory detergents? Yes. Beaker brushes are designed to be used with standard laboratory glassware detergents. Rinse thoroughly after cleaning to remove all detergent residues before use.
Can I order beaker brushes in bulk? Yes. Hurst Scientific supplies laboratory brushes in bulk quantities to schools, universities, and research laboratories. Contact us for volume pricing.
