Laboratory glass bottles

Choose amber (brown) glass for light-sensitive contents, such as some reagents, standards, vitamins and photosensitive solvents; it filters much of the UV and blue light that can break them down. Choose clear glass when you need to see the contents, check the level or spot colour changes and particles. Examples: the coated screw-top bottle, clear glass, 500 ml, 1 piece, and the coated screw-top bottle, brown glass, 250 ml, 1 piece. Even in amber glass, store sensitive solutions in a dark cupboard.

A screw cap seals tightly, is easy to open with one hand and suits most aqueous solutions, buffers and transport. Check the thread size so caps and dispensers fit, for example on the coated screw-top bottle, clear glass, 1000 ml, 1 piece. A ground glass stopper suits solvents and reagents that attack plastic, but it can stick with alkaline solutions. An example is the reagent bottle with amber glass stopper, narrow neck, 250 ml, soda-lime glass, 12 pieces. Spare caps are in screw caps and closures.

A plastic coating on the outside holds the glass together if the bottle is dropped, so the contents are less likely to spill and splinters stay contained. It also gives a better grip. That makes coated bottles a good choice for hazardous, toxic or expensive liquids and for carrying samples between rooms. Examples: the coated screw-top bottle, clear glass, 2000 ml, 1 piece, and the coated screw-top bottle, brown glass, 500 ml, 1 piece. The coating's temperature limit is not stated on these pages, so ask sales@luminixhealth.com before you heat or autoclave.

Glass is chemically inert, does not absorb odours or colour, tolerates solvents and can be cleaned at high temperature. It suits reagents, standards and long-term storage, for example the coated screw-top bottle, clear glass, 250 ml, 1 piece. Plastic is light and does not break, which suits transport, field sampling and aqueous solutions. An example is the PP narrow-neck bottle, round, GL 25, 500 ml, without closure, 1 piece. Check a plastic's resistance before storing solvents in it. For mixed lists, write to sales@luminixhealth.com.

A laboratory glass bottle is borosilicate or soda-lime, with a stated capacity and a neck for a screw cap or a ground stopper. Glass is the choice when the liquid attacks a plastic, or when the bottle will be heated or autoclaved.

A laboratory bottle is a closed container with a stated volume and a neck that takes a cap, a stopper or a dispenser. Borosilicate glass is the choice when the liquid is a solvent, or when the bottle will be heated or autoclaved. Polyethylene and polypropylene are the choice when the bottle must not shatter, or when hydrofluoric acid would attack glass. A narrow mouth pours. A wide mouth is for powders and for reaching the bottom. Laboratory ware of this kind is indexed under ISO laboratory glassware. Traceable volume sits with the BIPM and NIST Physical Measurement.
