Contact SupplierBeaker is generally a cylindrical container with a flat bottom.Most also have a small spout or beak to aid pouring, as shown in the picture. Beakers are available in a wide range of sizes, from one milliliter up to several liters. A beaker is distinguished from a flask by having straight rather than sloping sides.
