EISCO Plastic Graduated Cylinder, 500mL – Class B – Stable Hexagonal Base – Premium Polypropylene – Lab Cylinder, Measuring Cylinder

Description

Product Overview

The EISCO 500 mL Plastic Graduated Cylinder is engineered for reliable, repeatable liquid measurement across a wide range of scientific and educational environments. Constructed from high‑grade polypropylene, the cylinder provides a chemically resistant, non‑porous surface that stands up to acids, bases, solvents, and routine cleaning procedures without clouding or degradation. Its Class B tolerance meets industry standards for accuracy, delivering consistent volume readings within a tight tolerance band suitable for most laboratory applications where ultra‑high precision is not required.

One of the most distinctive design elements is the octagonal (hexagonal) base, which distributes weight evenly and prevents tipping during vigorous mixing or transport. The translucent body allows users to visually monitor liquid levels, while the raised 5 mL graduation lines, clearly marked every 50 mL, enhance readability under various lighting conditions. The cylinder’s dimensions—approximately 1 × 8 × 10 inches and a lightweight 4.8 oz—make it easy to handle, store, and integrate into existing lab setups.

Usage

Designed for versatility, this graduated cylinder excels in professional laboratory settings, high‑school and university science classrooms, and even home‑based hobbyist experiments. Its robust construction tolerates temperatures up to 120 °F (49 °C), allowing for heated solutions and sterilization procedures without warping. The cylinder is ideal for tasks such as preparing reagents, measuring solvents, conducting titrations, and performing quantitative analyses where volume accuracy is essential.

Educators appreciate the clear graduations and stable base for student demonstrations, while researchers value the cylinder’s durability during repetitive pipetting and transfer operations. Because the material is lightweight yet sturdy, the cylinder can be easily moved between workstations, placed on magnetic stir plates, or stored in standard laboratory cabinets without risk of breakage.
