\n| Feature | \nWhat It Is | \nBenefit to You | \n
|---|---|---|
| Capacity: 100 mL | \nHolds up to 100 millilitres of liquid with clear graduations | \nSuitable for medium volume measurements—good balance between size and readability | \n
| Class-A Accuracy | \nManufactured to internationally recognized precision standards (e.g. DIN/ISO/ASTM) | \nLow tolerance of error, more precise readings, suitable for analytical work | \n
| Hexagonal Base | \nBroad, six-sided base rather than round or narrow | \nMuch more stable, less likely to roll or tip; safer, especially on uneven surfaces or crowded benches | \n
| Borosilicate Glass (Type 3.3 or similar) | \nHigh-quality, temperature & chemical-resistant glass | \nCan handle mild thermal stress; resists many chemicals (acids, bases) without reacting; long-lasting durability | \n
| Clear, Permanent Markings | \nGraduations etched or fired-on, easy to read | \nHelps in avoiding mistakes; visibility even with colored fluids; markings remain after washing or solvents | \n

- Industrial quality control where precise liquid measurement is required \n
- Research and development laboratories \n
- Sample preparation in biotech, pharmaceutical, environmental, or chemical testing labs \n
How It Compares / Why Choose This
\n-
\n
- Better Stability: The hexagonal base prevents rolling or accidental tipping, unlike round bases. \n
- Higher Accuracy: Class-A cylinders have tighter tolerances than Class-B ones, meaning less error. \n
- Durability: With borosilicate glass and permanent markings, this cylinder will last through regular lab use. \n
- Versatility: Works for a variety of liquids, and the size is convenient—bigger than say 50 mL for when more volume is needed, but not bulky like 250–500 mL versions. \n
Care & Usage Tips
\n-
\n
- Always place it on a flat, stable surface when measuring \n
- Read the meniscus at eye level for accurate volume reading \n
- Wash gently using non-abrasive brushes and mild detergents \n
- Avoid sudden temperature changes (e.g., from cold water to flame) to prevent glass breakage \n
- Handle carefully, since glassware is fragile; inspect for cracks/chips before use \n
