Pyrex Round Media Storage Bottle 1L Borosilicate Leak‑Proof Lab Glass

Description

Product Overview

The Pyrex Round Media Storage Bottle is engineered from high‑grade borosilicate glass, delivering exceptional thermal shock resistance and chemical inertness. Each bottle holds 1 L of liquid and features a one‑piece polypropylene screw cap with a built‑in drip‑free pouring ring, guaranteeing a leak‑proof seal even when the container is inverted. The clear glass body showcases permanent enamel graduations that allow quick visual estimation of volume, while the smooth, rounded shape facilitates easy handling and stacking. Designed for both professional laboratory environments and educational settings, this bottle meets rigorous standards for durability, reusability, and safety, supporting temperatures from –50 °C to +125 °C and tolerating autoclave sterilization at 121 °C. The package includes two bottles, each weighing 1.2 kg, and is shipped in a compact box measuring 12.01 × 10.71 × 4.57 inches.

Usage

Designed for a wide range of scientific applications, the Pyrex Media Storage Bottle excels in laboratory media preparation, sample storage, and reagent mixing. Its leak‑proof cap makes it ideal for transporting volatile or corrosive solutions without risk of spills, while the high‑temperature tolerance allows users to sterilize the bottle in autoclaves or heat it for incubation processes. In classroom settings, the clear markings aid students in learning volumetric techniques, and the reusable design promotes sustainable practice. Home hobbyists conducting small‑scale experiments or DIY chemistry projects also benefit from the bottle’s robust construction and easy‑to‑clean surface, ensuring reliable performance across diverse environments.

FAQ

Can the bottle be used for acidic or basic solutions?

Yes. Borosilicate glass is chemically inert to most acids and bases commonly used in laboratory protocols. The material does not leach ions into the solution, preserving sample integrity even after prolonged exposure. For highly aggressive reagents, we recommend verifying compatibility with the specific chemical composition, but in general the bottle handles a broad pH range without degradation.

Is the cap compatible with standard laboratory racks?

The polypropylene screw cap is designed with a low‑profile head that fits comfortably into most standard 1‑L bottle racks and storage trays. Its dimensions align with typical laboratory shelving, allowing efficient organization and easy access. The cap’s threading matches the GL45 standard, ensuring a secure fit while remaining simple to remove when needed.

How should I clean the bottle after use?

Cleaning is straightforward: rinse the bottle with distilled water, then wash with a mild detergent if residues remain. For thorough sterilization, place the bottle (cap removed) in an autoclave at 121 °C for 15‑20 minutes. The glass tolerates rapid temperature changes, but avoid direct exposure to open flames or direct heating elements to prevent thermal stress.

What warranty does Pyrex provide for this product?

Pyrex offers a limited one‑year warranty covering manufacturing defects in the glass body and cap. If the bottle cracks, chips, or the cap fails under normal use conditions within this period, contact our support team for a replacement or refund. The warranty does not cover damage caused by misuse, such as dropping the bottle or exposing it to temperatures outside the specified range.

Can I purchase additional sizes or colors?

Yes. The Pyrex Round Media Storage Bottle is available in multiple volumes, including 100 mL, 160 mL, 250 mL, and 1 L, each with the same leak‑proof cap design. While the current model features a clear glass body with white enamel markings, future releases may include alternative color options.
