Company Description
Precision Glassblowing has been manufacturing ICP and ICP-MS, general scientific and custom glassware for over 30 years. We continue to grow with almost 50 employees and nearly 400 years of combined professional glassblowing experience. Honesty, integrity, and great customer service are the foundations of our company, and we have developed a reputation for quality products and competitive pricing. We strive to maintain stock on commonly ordered parts so we can offer same-day shipping on most orders. Beyond production manufacturing, Precision is also involved with the R&D of new products, and is equally comfortable in custom one-off production.

Markets Served
Precision Glassblowing serves both original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and end-users on every continent of the globe. With a strong network of global distributors, we are able to provide quality service and prompt attention to our customers in environmental laboratories, quality assurance and quality control, industrial hygiene, pharmaceutical, and university and research labs.
Major Products/Services
Precision Glassblowing is the market leader in ICP and ICP-MS glass consumable production. In addition to spray chambers, injectors, and the largest selection of nebulizers, the majority of ICP torches on the market, globally, are manufactured by Precision Glassblowing. We offer accessories like cones and pump tubing from partner companies for a one-stop shopping experience. Beyond our large stock of new consumables, we also offer repair service on ICP consumables as well as standard and custom laboratory glassware. All parts are inspected by an independent QC department, utilizing the most modern equipment and methods available to ensure parts meet all specifications.
Facility
In addition to 20 glassblowers running 25 lathes of various sizes, our 24,000 square foot facility incorporates a small laboratory and full machine shop with multiple CNC mills, CO2 lasers, ultrasonic mill, and grinding capabilities. And new in 2014, Precision acquired an optics shop for in-house window production.

This column shows that a Raman plate reader paired with partial least squares regression can simultaneously quantify glucose, fructose, sucrose, and ethanol in yeast fermentation samples, using turbidity-matched calibration standards to correct for yeast-induced turbidity, and offers a rapid, label-free, high-throughput method for tracking sugar consumption and ethanol production in strain screening, media optimization, and process development.
This column, the second installment on highly substituted benzene rings, shows that tri- and tetra-substituted substitution patterns can be distinguished by whether the ring bending peak is present and by the position of the in-phase aryl C-H wagging peak, which shifts according to how many adjacent hydrogens the ring carries.
How do ions and water interact at the atomic level in nanochannels grafted with polymer brushes using all-atom molecular dynamics simulations? Siddhartha Das of the University of Maryland and his team are working on answering this question.
