Precision Glassblowing

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.

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.

The bulky bench-top NIR spectrometer is quietly being dismantled and rebuilt as a wafer-scale photonic chip, a self-calibrating algorithm, and a sensor small enough to ride in a shirt pocket. What once demanded a grating, a moving mirror, and a climate-controlled lab now fits inside a handheld module, a bioreactor probe, or a drone payload, and it increasingly figures out what it is looking at on its own.
Sizing Up the Nanoscale: Measuring Nanocluster Aerosol in Indoor Air
In the first part of a multi-part Q&A, Brandon Boor, the Dr. Margery E. Hoffman Associate Professor in the Lyles School of Civil and Construction Engineering at Purdue University, describes the instrumentation and methodology behind measuring nanoparticle size distributions at the nanocluster scale (1–3 nm) and outlines the technical challenges of acquiring reliable, real-time data at these dimensions.
