Amber reagent bottles with a 500ml capacity are widely used in laboratories to store larger quantities of light-sensitive chemicals and reagents. The amber color effectively protects the contents from harmful UV and visible light, preserving the integrity of the stored substances. Here are detailed features and considerations for a 500ml amber reagent bottle:

Key Features:

1. Material: Made from borosilicate glass, known for its high resistance to thermal shock and chemical corrosion.
2. Volume: 500ml, suitable for storing larger quantities of reagents.
3. Amber Color: Protects against UV light to prevent photodegradation of light-sensitive substances.
4. Closure: Comes with a screw cap or stopper, often 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 not as precise as volumetric labware.
6. Shape: Typically round, but square designs are also available for space-efficient storage.
7. Neck Size: Designed to accommodate common laboratory equipment like pipettes and funnels, with varying neck sizes depending on the bottle design.

Uses:

• Storing

light-sensitive reagents and chemicals.

• Preventing photodegradation of contents.
• Suitable for reagents like hydrogen peroxide, chloroform, certain acids, and bases sensitive to light.
