Bel-Art Scienceware LDPE Acid/Solvent Bottle Carrier

This Bel-Art Scienceware bottle carrier has an LDPE body, ribbed sides and base, and an epoxy-coated heavy-gauge handle. This bottle carrier is used for transporting and protecting standard reagent bottles. The LDPE (low-density polyethylene) body is lightweight, flexible, and elastic, has an opaque hue, and resists impact, stress cracks, and moisture absorption. Ribs on the carrier's sides and base support the bottle for protection against breakage. The epoxy-coated heavy-gauge wire handle facilitates carrying. This carrier is available with two styles of lids to cover and secure the bottle inside of the carrier. The cone-shaped lid has a 5/8-inch opening to accommodate a delivery tube for filling the bottle. The truncated lid allows the cap of the bottle to protrude from the carrier and lid for pouring. A reagent bottle carrier is used to transport bottles containing acids or solvents.

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.
