Two images: the top shows a broken glass column with jagged edges; the bottom shows the same column smoothly repaired through scientific glass blowing, creating a rounded and flawless finish. Two images show a glass half jacket flask: the top is broken with a jagged edge, while the bottom, repaired through Scientific Glass Blowing, is intact. Both are labeled with their condition and volume. Two images show a 6-position glass manifold; the top image depicts the manifold with a broken arm, while the bottom image shows it fully repaired with expert Scientific Glass Blowing techniques.

Chemistry students have the unique opportunity to take a scientific glassblowing class that focuses on teaching basic bench skills. Classes are offered Spring semester for one credit hour.
