Nekem, based in Hull in the UK, has launched a range of glass measuring cylinders designed to replace traditional conical vessels. Moulded in high clarity borosilicate glass, the company claims that the new measuring cylinders bring greater accuracy to both retail pharmacy and laboratory mixing and dispensing.
The new cylinders are available in seven sizes from 10ml to 1,000ml and are all ceramic printed at temperatures over 500°C, thus retaining the clarity of graduations throughout the product's lifetime. Measuring cylinders are officially accepted by the Royal Pharmaceutical Society of Great Britain and all cylinders in the Nekem range are produced and stamped to DIN ISO standards.
