Amber Reagent Bottle, Narrow Mouth

Description

The MEDILAB Amber Reagent Bottle (Narrow Mouth) is a high-quality laboratory storage container designed for safe handling, protection, and dispensing of light-sensitive chemicals and reagents. Manufactured from premium Borosilicate Glass 3.3, it ensures exceptional chemical durability, thermal resistance, and long-term reliability. Its narrow-mouth design provides controlled pouring, minimises evaporation, and reduces contamination risks, making it essential in research, pharmaceutical, chemical, and analytical environments.

Key Features

  • Amber-tinted borosilicate glass for superior protection against UV/visible light, ensuring reagent stability.
  • Narrow-mouth design for precise dispensing and reduced spillage.
  • High chemical resistance suitable for acids, bases, organic solvents, and sensitive reagents.
  • Excellent thermal shock resistance due to the Borosilicate Glass 3.3 composition.
  • Heavy-duty construction for repeated laboratory use and long service life.
  • Leak-proof screw cap (typically polypropylene or glass, based on model) ensuring secure storage.
  • Calibrated volume markings (optional, depending on size) for quick visual reference.
  • Autoclavable for safe sterilisation and reuse.
  • Smooth, easy-clean surface for hygienic laboratory workflows.
