Kimble Kimax Glass Media/Storage Bottle, with PTFE/Silicone Lined Closure

This Kimble Kimax Boston round media bottle has a borosilicate glass body, a polypropylene screw cap, and a silicone cap liner with a PTFE facing. This media bottle is used to hold samples and for storage, mixing, and sampling applications. The borosilicate glass body provides chemical, thermal expansion, shock, and heat resistance. Its Boston round shape is used for applications that require a rounded body, short neck, and narrow mouth to store liquid samples, solvents, and chemicals, and dry materials.

This lab bottle has an autoclavable, polypropylene screw cap to secure contents and help prevent spills and evaporation. A silicone cap liner helps seal the closure. An additional PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene) facing resists many chemicals, moisture, and temperatures ranging from -400 to 500 degrees F. This lab bottle has a marking area to label for security and accountability, and it is graduated for measured dispensing and storing. The borosilicate glass conforms to American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) E 438 Type I, Class B requirements for glass containers. This bottle is suitable for use in general purpose mixing, storing, and sampling applications.

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.
