Accurate volume assessment and safe fluid transfer are essential for successful laboratory and industrial mixing. Professional laboratory measuring jugs and plastic beakers are engineered from high-quality polypropylene (PP) to ensure excellent chemical resistance and unbreakable durability. As a core component of our vessels range within general laboratory consumables, these jugs are foundational for sample preparation and bulk liquid handling.
Why Choose Professional Laboratory Measuring Jugs?
Our curated collection of plastic vessels is designed for technical accuracy and daily laboratory resilience:
- High-Visibility Graduations: We stock LLG Beakers (PP) featuring permanent blue scales according to ISO 7056, ensuring easy volume reading for liquids from 25 mL to 2000 mL.
- Ergonomic Liquid Handling: Utilize LLG Measuring Jugs with Handles, available in 250 mL and 500 mL packs, designed for controlled pouring and reduced hand fatigue during repetitive tasks.
- Stackable and Space-Saving: Explore low form polypropylene beakers that provide a stable footprint and are designed for efficient storage in busy workspaces.
- Thermal and Chemical Stability: Find vessels crafted from PP that can withstand temperatures up to 121°C (autoclavable) and provide broad resistance to acids and alkalis.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is the benefit of the ISO 7056 blue scale on LLG beakers?
The permanent blue scale on LLG polypropylene beakers provides high contrast for easy reading and is designed to resist fading even after frequent washing and chemical exposure.
2. Can these polypropylene measuring jugs be autoclaved?
Yes, most PP measuring jugs and beakers from brands like LLG and VITLAB are autoclavable at 121°C, but it is recommended to avoid tight-fitting lids during the cycle to prevent deformation.
3. When should I choose a jug with a handle over a standard beaker?
Measuring jugs with handles are ideal for safely pouring large volumes of liquids or for tasks where gloves might make gripping a standard smooth-sided beaker difficult.
4. Are these jugs accurate enough for analytical chemistry?
While LLG and VITLAB jugs are highly accurate for general laboratory tasks and mixing, high-precision analytical work should be performed using Class A volumetric flasks or cylinders.
