Amber Reagent Bottle 1000ml

Amber reagent bottles with a 1000ml capacity are essential for storing larger volumes of light-sensitive chemicals in laboratory settings. The amber coloration effectively protects the contents from harmful UV and visible light, preserving the stability of the reagents. Here are the features and considerations for a 1000ml amber reagent bottle:

Key Features:

1. Material: Made from borosilicate glass, which is highly resistant to thermal shock and chemical corrosion.
2. Volume: 1000ml, suitable for storing significant quantities of reagents.
3. Amber Color: Provides protection against UV light, preventing photodegradation of light-sensitive substances.
4. Closure: Typically comes with a screw cap or stopper, made of plastic or glass, ensuring a tight seal to prevent contamination and evaporation.
5. Graduations: Some bottles have graduation marks for approximate volume measurement, though these are not as precise as volumetric labware.
6. Shape: Usually round, but square designs are available for more space-efficient storage.
7. Neck Size: Designed to accommodate common laboratory equipment such as pipettes and funnels, with varying neck sizes depending on the bottle design.

Uses:

• Storing large quantities of light-sensitive reagents and chemicals.
• Preventing photodegradation of contents.
• Ideal for reagents like hydrogen peroxide, chloroform, and certain acids and bases that are sensitive to light.

Safety and Handling:

• Ensure the bottle is properly labeled with the contents and any hazard information.
• Handle with care to avoid breakage, especially when the bottle is full.
• Clean thoroughly before and after use to prevent cross-contamination.
