500ml Wide Mouth Glass Stopper Amber Laboratory Reagent Bottle

Description

This 500ml Wide Mouth Amber Reagent Bottle is designed for the secure storage and handling of light-sensitive chemicals, powders, and viscous liquids. The combination of high-quality amber glass and a precision-ground glass stopper ensures maximum protection against both UV degradation and atmospheric contamination.

Technical Specifications

• Material: High-quality USP Type III Amber Soda-Lime Glass.

• Capacity: 500ml.

• Stopper Type: Solid ground-glass stopper (Tapered).

• Color: Deep Amber (blocks UV light between 200nm and 500nm).

• Neck Design: Wide mouth for easy filling, pouring, and spatula access.

Key Features

• UV Protection: The amber tint filters out harmful ultraviolet radiation, making it essential for light-sensitive reagents such as silver nitrate, iodine, and certain solvents.

• Airtight Seal: The precision-ground glass joint provides a high-quality seal without the need for plastic liners, preventing evaporation and oxidation.

• Chemical Purity: Glass construction is chemically inert, ensuring that your reagents remain uncontaminated by plasticizers or leachable materials.

• Wide Mouth Opening: Specifically designed to facilitate the easy transfer of dry powders, granules, and thick liquids.

Typical Applications

• Chemical Storage: Safely housing sensitive laboratory reagents and standard solutions.

• Pharmaceuticals: Storing light-degradable medicines or active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs).

• Environmental Sampling: Collecting and preserving soil or water samples for trace organic analysis.

• Apothecary & Essential Oils: Long-term storage of volatile oils and light-sensitive botanicals.

Handling & Care

• Jam Prevention: To prevent the ground-glass stopper from “freezing” or sticking, apply a thin layer of laboratory grease to the joint if storing non-polar chemicals.

• Cleaning: Fully autoclavable and dishwasher safe. Ensure the stopper and neck are dry before sealing to maintain an optimal fit.

• Temperature: Avoid rapid thermal shocks; not intended for direct heating over an open flame.
