Description

Ideal for media, buffers, aqueous and nonaqueous solutions.

Ideal for media, buffers, aqueous and nonaqueous solutions

Heavy duty bottle which can be used for storage as well as mixing and sampling. Includes linerless, one-piece autoclavable polypropylene plug seal cap with drip free pouring rings. Optional red PBT caps and red ETFE pouring rings are available for dry heat sterilization (180°C). Glass bead indicates full capacity line on 100 mL through 2L size. Bottles have permanent white enamel graduations and marking spots. Color-coded polypropylene caps are available in a choice of orange, green, purple, red, and light gray.

Caution: Bottles should NOT be used with bottle top filter units, or in other applications involving vacuum pressure, as breakage may occur. DO NOT have caps tightened immediately after autoclaving, as the vacuum resulting from cooling can cause breakage. A pouring ring is not included on 25 mL size. A vented cap is NOT recommended for use on the 5L and 10L 1395 series bottle.

Order Info

Optional red melamine caps and PTFE rings are available for applications requiring temperatures to 180°C (356°F).

What are the graduation ranges and intervals for the bottles?

Graduation ranges and intervals vary by bottle size, for example:
• 25 mL bottle: Graduation range 10-25 mL, interval 5 mL.
• 1000 mL bottle: Graduation range 100-900 mL, interval 100 mL.
• 10,000 mL bottle: Graduation range 2000-9000 mL, interval 1000 mL.

What are the available sizes and capacities of PYREX bottles?

PYREX bottles are available in a wide range of sizes, from 25 mL to 10,000 mL. Below are some examples:
• 25 mL: 36.5 mm diameter x 70 mm height
• 1000 mL: 101 mm diameter x 225 mm height
• 10,000 mL: 234 mm diameter x 410 mm height

What are PYREXPLUS bottles, and what is their benefit?

PYREXPLUS bottles have a protective PVC coating that reduces breakage and provides an extra layer of safety for handling.

What are Low Actinic bottles, and when should they be used?

Low Actinic bottles are designed for light-sensitive materials, as they help prevent degradation caused by light exposure.

Are there vented caps available?

Yes, GL45 vented caps with 0.22 µm PTFE hydrophobic membranes are available for applications requiring sterile gas exchange.

What types of caps are available for PYREX bottles?

A variety of caps are available, including:
• GL45 color-coded caps for sorting and identification
• High-temperature PBT caps with PTFE-coated liners, ETFE copolymer rings, and silicone septa (suitable for dry heat sterilization up to 180°C)
• Vented GL45 caps with 0.22 µm PTFE hydrophobic membranes
• Open-top PBT caps in GL25, GL32, and GL45 sizes
• Silicone or PTFE-faced silicone septa for open-top caps

Are PYREX bottles autoclavable?

Yes, PYREX bottles, including their clear polypropylene pouring rings and orange caps, are fully autoclavable.

What type of glass is used in PYREX bottles?

PYREX bottles are made from Type I, Class A borosilicate glass, which is chemically resistant and has low thermal expansion.

What are PYREX reusable laboratory bottles used for?

PYREX bottles are designed for storing reagents, sterile tissue culture media, biological fluids, aqueous and nonaqueous solutions. They can also be used with light-sensitive materials (Low Actinic bottles) or for added protection with a PVC coating (PYREXPLUS bottles).
