This Wheaton cylindrical hybridization bottle has a borosilicate glass body, a PBT screw cap with a PTFE-faced silicone liner, and an exterior safety coating. This media bottle is used to hold samples for hybridization applications, and it has a wide mouth for ease of filling and pouring. The borosilicate glass body provides chemical, thermal expansion, shock, and heat resistance. Its cylindrical shape is used for a wide variety of applications that require solution containment. The PBT (polybutylene terephthalate) seal-lined cap secures contents to help prevent spills and evaporation. This lab bottle has a silicone cap liner to help 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 an exterior safety coating that resists shattering and helps to retain contents for disposal in case of breakage. The plastisol safety coating is a solution of PVC resin in a liquid plasticizer that covers the glass bottle and cools to form a plastic coating. Heavy wall construction helps secure bottle contents. The borosilicate glass conforms to United States Pharmacopoeia (USP) Type I requirements for glass containers. This bottle is suitable for holding hybridization and wash solutions used in nucleic acid and protein blotting 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.
