Glass graduated cylinder sizes 10ml to 250ml for measuring liquids accurately in science labs, in the kitchen or even as bartending promotional shot glasses. Indigo graduated cylinders are made with borosilicate glass and are food, drink & dishwasher safe.
Graduated cylinders are essential for measuring liquid volumes accurately and reproducibly. Indigo Instruments offers borosilicate Class B glass cylinders in five sizes: 10, 25, 50, 100, and 250 mL; for repeatable laboratory, educational, or production use. Their tall, narrow form minimizes parallax error and makes volume reading easier than with beakers or flasks.
Further, glass cylinders resist heat, acids, and solvents better than most plastics, while maintaining calibration over years of use. Our class B glass graduated cylinders are more accurate than our Erlenmeyer flasks and beakers and can be used to measure the volume of irregular objects by the amount of water they displace.
| Feature | Glass Cylinders (Class B) | Plastic Cylinders (Polypropylene) |
|---|---|---|
| Chemical resistance | Excellent with acids, bases, and solvents; no leaching. | Good for mild acids/bases; not for strong solvents. |
| Thermal stability | Can withstand autoclaving and heating up to 250 °C. | Limited to ~120 °C; may warp under high heat. |
| Optical clarity | Superior transparency; easy meniscus reading. | Translucent, harder to see precise levels. |
| Durability | Brittle if dropped but retains calibration indefinitely. | Impact resistant; graduations may fade over time. |
| Cost-effectiveness | Higher initial cost, long service life. | Lower cost, suitable for short-term or educational use. |
| Characteristic | Graduated Cylinder (Class B) | Glass Burette (Class B) |
|---|---|---|
| Purpose | Measure & transfer approximate liquid volumes quickly. | Deliver precise variable volumes for titration. |
| Graduation precision | ±1 mL (typical for 100 mL size) | ±0.05 mL or better. |
| Speed of use | Fast: fill, read, pour. | Slower: controlled drip rate. |
| Ease of cleaning | Simple cylindrical shape; quick rinse. | Stopcock and narrow bore require thorough cleaning. |
| Best applications | Solution prep, density work, general liquid measurement. | Titrations and precise volumetric delivery. |

Amber T.: Friendly staff with great communication... They worked to get my shipment to me as soon as possible which I appreciated. The product seems to be high quality and the price point is better than anywhere else I looked....
Anna H: I was pleased with the response that I got at Indigo Instruments - very helpful, very courteous and polite. I really appreciated the way you handled my very small purchase...
Bob J: Very high quality glass! Better than any of the cheap garbage I've ordered from Amazon. This is easily my new go-to for anything glass measurement related!
Cathy W: BEST quality, best prices, best customer service for consistent high-quality lab glass and powerful magnets for any projects. Lab, classroom, workshop or crafting projects. Orders of all sizes — just a few or boxes…
Maggie L: I ordered a few labware glass pieces and they were even better than i expected! Came right on time and were very well packaged. The shipping was less than a week so a very reasonable as well. I have already thought about what i am ordering next! 10/10 would recommend as i have raved about it to many people already
