There are scientific glassblowers in some of national and public institutions in Japan. Each of them has well-established skills and considerable experience and knowledge. To develop and inherit the scientific glassblowing skills, we organized "CONNECT" in 2001. The name of this organization, CONNECT, implies our wish that it connects glassblowers to each other, researchers, and all those who are involved in the laboratory glassware.
Currently, it has about 70 members and holds the symposium at fixed intervals. It encourages them to share their techniques and knowledge, and to apply them in their work.
