World leading jointed glassware brands, all from one company.

Quickfit® pioneered the development of conical jointed glassware in the 1930’s as an alternative to the use of rubber bungs and glass and rubber tubing to connect pieces of glassware to construct laboratory apparatus. Today, Quickfit® has become a generic name for conical jointed glassware. DWK Life Sciences is able to offer a wide range of jointed glassware solutions for all your laboratory needs.
