These vessels from manufacturer Hecht are supplied in different packing units to accommodate varying laboratory needs. The glass body offers the chemical durability expected of standard laboratory glassware and supports routine sample preparation, reagent holding and intermediate storage. With a nominal capacity of 500 ml the jars fit common racks and shelving systems. Their combination of wide-mouth access, light protection and screw-thread sealing makes them a versatile choice for research, quality-control and educational laboratories requiring dependable amber glass containers.

Questions about Bottles, wide neck, with thread and screw cap amber glass GL 500 ml 55
What is this article?
Bottles, wide neck, with thread and screw cap amber glass GL 500 ml 55 is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Hecht for laboratory use. It sits in Sample containers & jars, inside Bottles & containers, in Labware.
A sample container or jar is the vessel the sample travels in, with a closure that survives the trip. The volume and the liner decide whether the sample that arrives is the sample that was taken.
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.
