What is the difference between Simax glass and standard soda-lime glass? Simax is a borosilicate 3.3 glass, which contains boron trioxide. This gives it a much lower coefficient of thermal expansion than soda-lime glass, making it far more resistant to breaking when heated or cooled rapidly.&nbsp;2. Can Simax laboratory bottles be autoclaved? Yes, Simax glass bottles and their standard blue screw caps (PP) are fully autoclavable up to 140°C. For higher temperatures, specialized PBT caps should be used.&nbsp;3. Are Bohemia Cristal products compliant with pharmaceutical standards? Absolutely. Simax glass corresponds to Glass Type I according to the European Pharmacopoeia, making it suitable for the storage and preparation of sensitive pharmaceutical substances.&nbsp;4. Is it safe to use Simax flasks on an open flame? Yes, provided the heating is uniform. It is recommended to use a wire gauze with a ceramic center to distribute the heat evenly and prevent "hot spots" that could cause the glass to stress.
