Karter Scientific 500ml Glass Media Bottle with GL45 Screw Cap Pack 2

Description

Product Overview

The Karter Scientific 500ml glass media bottle is engineered for precision and durability in demanding laboratory environments. Crafted from high‑quality borosilicate glass, the container resists thermal shock, chemical corrosion, and mechanical impact, making it suitable for a wide range of scientific applications. The round shape provides a uniform wall thickness that enhances structural integrity while offering a classic aesthetic that aligns with modern lab standards. A secure GL45 screw cap, fabricated from blue polypropylene, ensures a leak‑proof seal, preventing accidental spills and preserving sample integrity during transport or long‑term storage. The bottle features clear, graduated markings at 50 ml intervals from 100 ml to 400 ml, allowing users to quickly assess volume without the need for additional measuring tools. Each bottle is reusable, supporting sustainable laboratory practices and reducing overall consumable costs.

Dimensions of the bottle measure approximately 178 mm in height and 89 mm in diameter, providing a compact footprint that fits comfortably on standard bench tops, shelving units, and storage racks. The lightweight yet robust construction, weighing just 0.89 kg per unit, facilitates easy handling while maintaining the resilience required for rigorous experimental protocols. The product is supplied in a convenient pack of two, enabling immediate deployment in paired experiments or duplicate sample sets.

Usage

Designed for versatility, this media bottle excels in a variety of laboratory settings, including microbiology, chemistry, molecular biology, and environmental testing. Researchers can employ the bottle for storing culture media, reagents, solvents, and other liquid samples that demand reliable containment. The leak‑proof GL45 cap is especially valuable when transporting hazardous or volatile substances, as it minimizes the risk of exposure and contamination. Additionally, the clear glass construction allows for visual inspection of contents, facilitating quick assessment of color changes, precipitation, or microbial growth without opening the container.

In educational laboratories, the bottle serves as an excellent teaching tool for demonstrating proper sample handling, measurement techniques, and safety protocols. Its graduated markings support hands‑on learning experiences, while the reusable nature aligns with institutional sustainability goals. For field researchers, the sturdy glass and secure cap provide confidence that samples will remain intact during transport to remote analysis sites.
