Due to the nature of many of the chemicals involved, it is highly recommended that you only purchase high quality glassware to reduce the chance of an accident. Since most reactions are small, this hopefully shouldn't hurt the bank.

Some reputable glassware brands (a biased and incomplete list):

• Pyrex
• Kimax
• Ace
• Kimble/Kontes
• Chemeglass

Stay away from these:

• Bomex
