    To the people concerned about the cleaning of these glasses, you could clean them with food grade solvents. 90% isopropyl and a few pipe cleaning brushes then rinse with distilled water. Wouldn't be hard to keep something like this clean.

      @@BeeRich33 definitely something I wouldn't have considered! I'm assuming since you specified protein fractions that you are mainly concerned with insoluble protein fractions. Do you know what protein fractions would be left behind as insoluble in IPA? And any suggestions on methods for removing them? I'm by no means a chemist but I would absolutely love to learn some more than I can with a cursory Google.

    We had an in house glassblower in Grad School. Those guys are artists. Kind of a lost art.
    As for cleaning, we've got stuff to clean with in the lab. My favorite was a mixture of conc. H2SO4 and K2Cr2O7. That stuff would eat anything off the glass. You couldn't despose of it normally because it was so corrosive and Cr6+ is horrible for the environment. This was about the time Who Framed R.R.? came out. I called it "dip".
