Shop the catalogue
Shop by category
Ten families of dry laboratory hardware, from borosilicate glassware to benchtop instruments — every piece supplied empty and ready to use.
Named, not vague
Type 3.3 borosilicate glass, 304 and surgical stainless steel, autoclavable polymers — and every listing says which.
The maker’s mark
Every piece carries the R8 caliper mark, applied the way the material takes it — etched, laser-marked or moulded. Small on purpose.
Packed by hand
Shipped from Delray Beach, Florida by USPS and UPS to all 50 states. Glassware double-packed; breakage replaced free.
Dry hardware only
Empty glassware, instruments and storage. No chemicals, no reagents, nothing consumable — just the equipment.
Equipment a lab actually buys from
We started R8 Research because too much lab hardware is either cheap and unreliable or priced for a purchasing department. We stock the durable middle, describe it honestly, and ship it quickly — to teaching labs, home benches, makers and researchers alike.
