Quickfit is a brand of laboratory glassware, produced under the Pyrex trademark and distributed through various fronts in differing countries; e.g. Corning in North America. A large percentage of the glassware makes use of ground glass joints.
The Quickfit brand is blown in Stone, Staffordshire, in the United Kingdom and marketed through DWK in the United Kingdom. 'Quickfit' has become a genericized trademark for all ground glass. Whilst the ownership and name of Quickfit has changed numerous times, all genuine Quickfit glass is stamped with a Q, displaying the brand name, the word Pyrex and the part code.
