Description
A Coplin jar, PP (polypropylene) is a laboratory container used for staining, storing, and examining microscope slides and other specimens. It is made of polypropylene, a type of plastic that is known for its durability, chemical resistance, and low cost. The jar has a rectangular or cylindrical shape with a tight-fitting lid that seals the contents, and multiple wells on the lid for holding slides or other specimens.
Coplin jars are commonly used in laboratory settings for a variety of applications, including staining and destaining of slides, storage of specimens, or as a container for developing films. They are available in various sizes, ranging from small jars for small-scale experiments to large jars for large-scale operations.
The polypropylene construction makes the jar suitable for use in applications where glass is not appropriate, such as with light-sensitive materials or when working with hazardous chemicals. Coplin jars are also easy to clean and can be used repeatedly, making them a popular choice for laboratory use.
