This Nalgene wide-mouth lab bottle has a PPCO body and a polypropylene screw cap, and it is autoclavable. This lab bottle has a wide mouth for filling ease, and is used for liquid and sample storage. The PPCO (polypropylene copolymer) body provides greater flexibility and impact resistance than polypropylene lab bottles, and it can be sterilized and autoclaved. Its AC round shape is used for applications that require a rounded body and wide mouth for dry and viscous samples. The polypropylene screw cap provides secure attachment to the bottle body. This bottle is autoclavable for applications requiring sterility. This bottle is suitable for mixing, storing, and autoclaving large volumes of dry samples and solutions.
Lab bottles are used to store, hold, and mix liquids, powders, and other substances in a wide variety of scientific industries. Lab bottles have a more pronounced neck and shoulder than jars. Lab bottles are manufactured with a combination of characteristics in order to meet the demands of particular applications, such as for solution dispensing, mixing, and weighing, and use in centrifuge operations. They come in many shapes for specific applications, with a variety of mouth or nozzle shapes and sizes for specific use. Lab bottles are made from materials, such as glass (borosilicate or soda-lime) and an array of plastics, which are selected for chemical and thermal expansion resistance, transparency, and their adaptability in a variety of applications. Lab bottle interiors, caps, and lids are often lined with a protective material. Caps and lids help seal bottles to prevent solutions from spilling. The capacity refers to the fluid amount held by a lab bottle, and is commonly measured in milliliters (mL) and liters (l), and sometimes in ounces (oz). Lab bottles are suitable for use in chemistry and biology applications, as well as in pharmaceutical and scientific testing.
