title: Silanizing glassware.
abstract: Untreated glass contains silicate and silanol groups that can act as ion-exchange and nucleophilic centers. To mask these groups and decrease the hydrophilicity of the surface, various reactive silanes are frequently used to coat the glass surface. This appendix describes a procedure for silanizing glassware.
