Did you know that Purdue has its own scientific glass lab (located in Wetherill Laboratory of Chemistry)? They can handle all of your custom glass needs, including consultation and design services, borosilicate and quartz capabilities,
on-site repair and fabrication, glass/ceramic cutting, grinding, polishing, evacuation and back fill, surface coating (silvering & plastic), glass casting of solid, large items, scientific glass blowing course, and artistic glass working.
I have included our professional glass blower’s contact information below. Feel free to let him know if there is any way in which he can be of service to you or the department.
Thank you,
