 Handling & Precautions

  • Do not autoclave; avoid high-heat sterilisation due to HDPE thermal limits.
  • Clean using mild detergents; avoid strong oxidizing agents.
  • Ensure caps are firmly tightened before placing vials in scintillation counters.
  • Store away from direct sunlight to maintain material stability.
  • Not recommended for long-term storage of strong organic solvents.
  • Avoid contact with sharp objects to preserve structural integrity.

 Applications
