Glass Beads, 2D MM, Solid Glass, 500 Grams/Bag

Livingstone Glass Beads are manufactured from solid, high-temperature resistant glass and designed for a variety of laboratory applications, including distillation column packing, boiling control and solution mixing. With a 2 mm diameter, these glass beads provide a consistent and uniform packing medium that promotes efficient vapour-liquid interaction during distillation while also helping to achieve smooth, controlled boiling. Commonly used in laboratories across Australia, they are suitable for scientific procedures requiring dependable thermal stability and chemical resistance.

Manufactured from high-silica glass, the beads offer excellent resistance to heat, thermal shock and a wide range of laboratory chemicals, making them suitable for repeated laboratory use. Their uniform spherical shape encourages even liquid distribution and improves contact between vapours and liquids within distillation columns, contributing to efficient separation processes. When used as boiling beads, they help reduce bumping by encouraging controlled bubble formation during heating, while their smooth surface also makes them suitable for mixing applications and easy cleaning between procedures.

These glass beads are widely used in chemistry, biology and analytical laboratories, as well as research centres, universities, pharmaceutical facilities and industrial quality control environments. They are suitable for fractional distillation, reflux systems, boiling applications, liquid mixing and other laboratory procedures where stable, chemically resistant packing media support reliable and repeatable workflows. Their compact size makes them particularly suitable for smaller laboratory apparatus and precision applications.

Designed for dependable everyday laboratory use, the Livingstone Glass Beads combine durable glass construction with reliable performance across a broad range of scientific applications. Their thermal stability, chemical resistance and versatile functionality make them a practical addition to professional and educational laboratories.
