Think of it as high-tech recycling. Most glassblowing shops perform repairs as part of doing business. In ACCONEX we do repair all sorts of laboratory glassware. Any items more complex and requires expert manpower.
Individually, each piece of broken lab glass is a unique situation although the fix is often straight forward: reattach or replace a new joint, thread, or stopcock, seal a star crack, fill chips in a flange, etc. Emailing a photo can be very informative in terms of a rough estimate. We won't charge more than half the value of the new item without consulting you. If the glassware is broken in a "working" area, that is, the shell of a stopcock, the ground part of a joint, a flange, etc., those parts can be replaced as good as new. We strive for good as new - repairs are carried out in the same manner as manufacture of new lab glassware
.
We understand that a broken piece of
glassware can cause serious setbacks for the user and we will try to
accommodate your needs for rapid
service when necessary. We maintain a stock
of most sizes of tubing and components, so we often have the necessary
materials in hand. We do charge to expedite orders, and we will be clear
when we are not able do so.
We require that lab glassware needing repair be clean, and we must know what
any contamination might be. In the course of repair, the glassblower frequently
needs to connect a blow tube to the glass to blow and/or suck to work a
seal. A specific problem is silicone adhesives, greases, and heating
oils, commonly used on manifold stopcocks and cooling coils in condensers;
citrus-based solvents work well for this cleaning. Silcone adhesives are
especially pernicious; burning silicone products produces toxic fumes and
will create
health hazards for the glassblowers and damage our ovens, not to mention your glassware! At our discretion, we will
return dirty glassware unrepaired. Any time we must spend cleaning will be
charged at double our normal shop rate; we are expensive dish washers. A rule
of thumb - if you would be willing to drink water from it, it may be
clean enough.
If you ship us glassware for repair, please pack it carefully. This generally
means plenty of packing between items; we like bubble pack around the glass,
and starch based foam pellets (Eco-Foam or Renature) to fill. Leave plenty of
room between the items and the walls of the box. Best is to overfill the box
with pellets, then snug them down when you tape the box closed; this locks the
glassware in place within the box. Remember, the shippers are specifically
allowed to drop any box four feet, and don't think they won't. We also like it
if you can put tape over the nasty sharp edges, so we don't shred our fingers unwrapping.
Laboratory glassware
Machines
make test tubes, vials, and beakers,
but any laboratory glassware more complicated than that is made by a scientific
glassblower. Most borosilicate laboratory glassware continues to be
produced by hand, as the feedback loop required for automated manufacturing has
proven to be problematic. We do make test
tubes, vials, and beakers as well, in smaller runs, when the requirement is for
a more specific purpose or special application.
We're dedicated to making quality lab glass and glass tools for research
and industry. We live in a competitive, global world, and we believe that
quality and service will continue to make us relevant in a constantly changing
environment.
ICP & IC-MS Torch Repair
ACCONEX ENGINEERING repairs hundreds of torches each month. We can replace the outer shield, base or sidearm of most broken or used torches for much less than the cost of a replacement torch. Ceramic base torches for TJA instruments may be rebuilt multiple times at a very moderate price. Available with or without a new injector, rebuilt TJA torches receive all new precision i.d./o.d. quartz inner and outer tubes and new argon fittings with the used base remaining as the only aspect which separates it from a brand new OEM torch. Once any torch has been rebuilt, it passes through the same QC program as our new torches, guaranteeing it meets original manufacturer’s specifications.
General Scientific Glassware Repair
ACCONEX ENGINEERING can repair spray chambers, cells and most general lab items. Common lab glass repairs include replacing stopcocks, replacing broken ground joints, fixing cracks in flasks and replacing sidearms on soxhlets and CLLE’s. Some simpler glassware may not be cost-effective to repair but in many cases repairs can save over the cost of replacement..
Glassware Modification
Don’t settle with “I’ll make do”, if your glass part isn’t exactly what you want. We may be able to modify it to meet your needs. From adding or replacing joints, to modifying the layout, you can get what you need.
