Welcome to the
Department of Chemistry and Chemical Biology Glass Shop home page. Please
read the information below to learn about the glass shop services which
we can provide for you. Click to enlarge the pictures above to see some
equipment used and glassware made here in the shop. These services are
available only to those with a valid Cornell University account.
Scientific glassware design and fabrication
services provided
Standard glassware items
such as high vacuum oil diffusion pumps, vacuum lines, Schlenk tubes,
flasks or other custom made one of a kind designs, can be
made in the glass shop. I also repair broken apparatus and I can modify
existing glassware to meet you design requirements. This is a fully
equipped glass shop with most of the same capabilities found at major
glass companies. While the majority of work is done using borosilicate,
or Pyrex® type glass, quartz fabrication on diameters of up to 3 inches
is possible. Cutting of glass tubing, grinding flanges, vacuum line
design, consultation, or making a prototype of a new design idea is
available at the glass shop.
Please note: Glassware
submitted for repair must be clean and free of contaminates before work
can begin!
Turnaround time
Work
is done on a first in, first out basis whenever possible. Depending on
workload, my turnaround time can and has varied from 1 day in an
emergency, to 2 weeks when very complex or large volumes of work are to
be done. My services also carry the extra benefit of reduced cost, fast
service, high quality and getting the item you want fabricated to your
exact specifications. Every customer is required to submit a detailed
drawing of their project that I will use to build the apparatus. All drawings
should have critical dimensions clearly indicated to ensure that you get
what you want.
