Maybe it happened during sterilization or right in the middle of a reaction. It’s a nightmare. Usually, it happens because the glass has &ldquo;internal stress&rdquo; locked inside it. If you cool the glass too fast or unevenly, you&rsquo;re basically baking a ticking time bomb into the material. To stop that from happening, we use <a href="https://o-yate.net">infrared</a> (IR) heating. But not just any IR—we&rsquo;re talking about a setup that can hold a temperature within 0.1°C.</p>
