Description

The MEDILAB Measuring Cylinder Pentagonal, PP is a precision liquid-measuring instrument designed for reliable volumetric analysis in laboratories and industrial environments. Its pentagonal base provides enhanced stability compared to conventional round cylinders, reducing the risk of tipping. Ideal for routine measurements, sample preparation, titrations, and QC/QA workflows, this cylinder ensures accurate, repeatable results essential for scientific and industrial applications.

Key Features

• Pentagonal Base for superior stability and minimal spill risk.
• Prominently Raised Graduations for clear, long-lasting readability.
• Excellent Chemical Resistance against the most common laboratory reagents.
• Lightweight & Easy Handling due to high-quality polypropylene construction.
• Shatterproof Design is safer than glass cylinders in busy labs.
• Wide Pouring Spout for spill-free and controlled dispensing.
• Autoclavable (up to recommended PP limits) for repeated sterilisation.
• Fine Graduation Marks allow precision in analytical procedures.

Material Specifications

• Material: High-grade Polypropylene (PP)

Key Properties:

• High chemical resistance to acids, alkalis, and alcohols
• Good mechanical toughness and impact resistance
• Semi-transparent walls for clear volume visibility
• Thermal stability suitable for autoclaving (up to ~121°C)

Compliance: Manufactured following common international laboratory plasticware standards (ISO-style tolerances and graduations).

 Technical Specifications

• Accuracy Class: Standard laboratory accuracy with clearly marked graduation intervals depending on capacity.
• Graduation Type: Raised, permanent, easy-read scale.
• Base Shape: Pentagonal, anti-tip design.
• Calibration: Volume markings designed for routine laboratory measurement (TC – To Contain).
• Packaging: Individually packed or bulk-packed (as per order requirement); export-safe cartons.
• Accessories: Supplied as a standalone cylinder; no additional accessories required.

Handling & Precautions

• Safe Use: Avoid exposure to strong oxidising agents and temperatures exceeding PP’s heat limit (~121°C).
• Cleaning: Wash with mild laboratory detergents; avoid abrasive scrubbers that may scratch graduations.
• Autoclaving: Autoclavable at standard cycles; allow gradual cooling to prevent warping.

Do’s:

• Use only for liquid measurement.
• Store upright to protect the pentagonal base.

Don’ts:

• Do not use with highly aggressive organic solvents that affect PP.
• Do not heat directly on flames or hot plates.

Following these best practices ensures long product life and consistent measuring performance.

 Applications

• Research & Academic Laboratories – general liquid measurement and solution preparation.
• Pharmaceutical & Biotechnology Labs – QC/QA testing, reagent preparation.
• Chemical Industry – analytical measurements, routine processing tasks.
• Food & Beverage Testing Labs – volume standardisation and sample dilution.
• Environmental & Water Testing Labs – sample handling and volumetric operations.
• Industrial R&D Facilities – formulation work and product development.

Its reliability and ease of use make it an essential tool in day-to-day laboratory workflows across multiple scientific domains.
