Pyrex Corning 500ml Media Bottle with GL45 Screw Cap Pack of 2

Description

Product Overview

The Pyrex Corning 500ml round media storage bottle is engineered for demanding laboratory environments where precision, durability, and chemical resistance are paramount. Constructed from high‑quality borosilicate glass, the bottle offers exceptional thermal stability and resistance to a wide range of solvents, acids, and bases, ensuring that your media remain uncontaminated and stable over extended storage periods. The clear glass body provides full visibility of contents, while the graduated markings at 100ml intervals up to 400ml enable accurate volume assessments without the need for additional measuring devices. The bottle dimensions—approximately 176mm in height and 86mm in outer diameter—fit comfortably within standard incubators, refrigerators, and storage cabinets. An orange GL45 screw cap, compliant with industry‑standard thread specifications, delivers a secure, leak‑free seal that protects against evaporation and accidental spillage. The cap’s color coding also facilitates quick identification among multiple bottle types in busy lab settings. Each pack includes two identical bottles, offering a cost‑effective solution for laboratories that require consistent, interchangeable containers for media preparation, culture maintenance, and reagent storage.

Usage

Designed for versatility, the Pyrex Corning media bottle excels in a variety of scientific applications. In microbiology labs, it serves as the primary vessel for preparing nutrient broth, agar media, and liquid cultures, allowing researchers to monitor growth phases with ease. Cell culture facilities benefit from the bottle’s inert glass surface, which minimizes adsorption of proteins and growth factors, preserving the integrity of delicate cell lines. The bottle is also well‑suited for chemical synthesis labs where precise volume control and resistance to aggressive reagents are essential. Its robust construction permits autoclaving at temperatures up to 121°C, enabling thorough sterilization without compromising structural integrity. The GL45 cap’s tight seal maintains sterility after autoclave cycles, reducing the risk of contamination during downstream processes. Additionally, the bottle’s clear body and graduated markings simplify routine checks of media levels, pH indicators, and color changes, supporting real‑time monitoring of experimental conditions. Whether used for short‑term incubations or long‑term storage, the bottle’s design ensures consistent performance across a broad spectrum of laboratory workflows.
