Laboratory Bottles

Laboratory bottles are standard equipment in all laboratories. They are chemically resistant, sealable containers used for many applications including: storing and dispensing liquids, transport and storage of solids and powders, frozen storage, media sterilization, preparation of reagents, solutions, and buffers, growing and culturing. DWK offers a wide variety of narrow and wide mouth laboratory bottles made of glass and plastic. Type I borosilicate glass can withstand harsher chemical and thermal conditions. Type III soda lime offers some chemical resistance and is used for powders, buffers, or low-heat applications. For plastic bottles it is important to select the right type of plastic material depending on the application and thermal requirements. Clear plastic and glass bottles provide maximum transparency, amber bottles protect light-sensitive products. You should find the perfect laboratory bottle to match your requirements.
