United Scientific SIMAX BSWM1000 1L Wide Mouth Borosilicate Media

Description

Product Overview

The United Scientific SIMAX BSWM1000 is a 1 L wide‑mouth media bottle crafted from 3.3 % borosilicate glass (GL80). This glass composition provides exceptional resistance to thermal shock, allowing the bottle to tolerate temperatures up to 500 °C and survive repeated cycles in microwave ovens. The bottle is autoclavable to 140 °C, making it suitable for sterilization processes common in laboratory environments. Its dimensions—105 mm outer diameter and 185 mm height—give a compact footprint while delivering a generous 1000 mL capacity. The wide‑mouth opening, measuring roughly 30 mm, facilitates effortless pouring, sampling, and the handling of viscous pastes, powders, and larger items. Each unit carries a unique traceability code, supporting chain‑of‑custody documentation and compliance with laboratory record‑keeping standards.

Usage

This bottle is designed for a broad range of laboratory and industrial applications. Researchers use it for storing culture media, reagents, and chemical solutions that require high‑temperature stability. The wide mouth makes it ideal for adding solid substrates, mixing powders, or extracting samples without the need for additional tools. Because the glass can endure up to 500 °C, the bottle is also suitable for high‑temperature synthesis procedures, such as sol‑gel preparations or heat‑treated polymer solutions. Autoclave compatibility ensures that the bottle can be sterilized alongside other lab equipment, preserving sample integrity. The product is not intended for vacuum applications, and users should avoid tightening caps immediately after autoclaving to prevent breakage caused by rapid cooling.

FAQ

Can this bottle be used for vacuum filtration?

No. The SIMAX BSWM1000 is not designed for vacuum use. Applying vacuum can cause the glass to fracture, especially after rapid temperature changes.

What is the maximum temperature the bottle can withstand?

The glass can tolerate temperatures up to 500 °C, making it suitable for high‑heat applications such as microwave heating and certain synthesis procedures.

Is the bottle compatible with standard laboratory caps?

Yes, the bottle accepts standard wide‑mouth caps. However, after autoclaving, allow the bottle to cool before tightening the cap to avoid stress‑induced breakage.

How does the traceability code help my lab?

The unique code printed on each bottle enables precise tracking of the item throughout its lifecycle, supporting documentation, chain‑of‑custody requirements, and regulatory compliance.
