The range
Why Synthware
Synthware glassware is designed around what synthetic chemists actually do at the bench — air-free work, distillation, extraction, filtration — and built in borosilicate 3.3 to standard joints throughout.
Since 1992
Glassware designed for synthesis
Synthware® has been designing laboratory glassware since 1992. The catalogue reads differently from a general labware catalogue: alongside the flasks and condensers you would expect, it is unusually deep in the apparatus that synthetic and organometallic chemistry depends on.
Schlenk flasks and tubes, vacuum manifolds, solvent stills, sublimation apparatus, Kuderna-Danish concentrators, peptide synthesis vessels, microscale kits down to single-millilitre reaction vials — these are the pieces that are hard to source, and they are the core of the range rather than an afterthought.
Everything is made from borosilicate 3.3, drawn from high-quality European glass tubing, and built to the standard taper and spherical joint series so it interchanges with the glassware already on your bench.
One material, one joint system. Because the whole range shares borosilicate 3.3 and standard joints, pieces bought years apart still fit together — and you can replace a single component instead of a whole setup.
Depth
What the range actually covers
Over 570 items are listed in the Laboxin shop. These are the areas where the range goes deepest.
Specialities
The parts of the catalogue that are hard to find elsewhere
Schlenk and vacuum line
Schlenk flasks and tubes, double manifolds in a range of port counts, high-vacuum valves with PTFE stems, vacuum traps and cold fingers. If you run air-sensitive chemistry, this is where the range is strongest — over 60 items across the Schlenk categories alone.
Schlenk glasswareMicroscale apparatus
Conical reaction vials, spin vanes, heat transfer blocks, microscale condensers, columns and distillation heads. Proper miniaturised apparatus for milligram and single-millilitre chemistry, not scaled-down teaching glassware.
Microscale rangeStills, sublimators, extractors
Solvent stills for drying and degassing, sublimation apparatus with cold fingers, Soxhlet extractors and Kuderna-Danish concentrators. The apparatus for getting material clean, rather than just making it.
Solvent stillsStopcocks and valves
One-, two- and three-way stopcocks in both solid glass and PTFE plug, straight-bore, T-bore and oblique-bore configurations, metering valves, and PTFE-protected vacuum plugs with retention kits. Replacement plugs and O-rings are listed separately.
StopcocksChromatography and filtration
Chromatography columns with and without fritted discs, Büchner and filter funnels across the standard porosity grades, gas dispersion tubes and Gooch crucibles. Grade selection is covered in the porosity guide.
ChromatographyPressure and reaction vessels
Thick-walled pressure vessels, In-Ex tube reactors, peptide synthesis vessels and NMR apparatus. Specialist items that rarely appear in a general catalogue at all.

What to expect
Is everything genuine Synthware?
Yes. Every item listed under the Synthware range is original Synthware glassware, supplied through the official distribution chain.
INSERT THIS — if you hold formal authorised-distributor status, state it here, with the territories it covers. It is one of the strongest trust signals you can put on the site.
Where do you ship, and what does it cost?
Laboxin ships from Sweden to customers internationally.
INSERT THIS — the countries or regions you ship to, your carriers, indicative delivery times, shipping costs or free-shipping threshold, and how customs duties and import VAT are handled for customers outside the EU.
Is it in stock, or made to order?
INSERT THIS — whether items shown are held in stock in Sweden or ordered in on demand, and typical dispatch and lead times for each case. Buyers of specialist glassware care about this more than about price.
What if something arrives broken?
INSERT THIS — your breakage and damage-in-transit policy, the window for reporting it, whether you need photographs, and how replacements are handled. Glassware buyers look for this before they order.
Can you source something not listed?
The Synthware catalogue is larger than the selection listed here. If you need a size, port configuration or joint combination you cannot find in the shop, send us the specification and we will tell you whether it can be sourced.
Looking for something cheaper? Alongside the new Synthware range we stock inspected second-hand glassware from closing laboratories — the same borosilicate apparatus at a fraction of the price, subject to what we currently hold.
