About Laboratory Utility Bottles
Laboratory Utility Bottles
- The duran laboratory bottle system
- more than just a better bottle
- Its a complete system
- The new Youtility bottles system helps to make laboratory work easier, safer and more economical. All sizes of Youtility bottles are available in packs of four complete bottles.
- Youtility bottles comes with a screw cap having optimized ergonomic shape with faster opening and closing thread.
- Other very useful accessories available for youtility bottles are;
- Bottle tag- great for colour tagging your own bottles in shared work areas.
- Bottle label- stays on when you need it to, peels of when you dont.
- Cap Label- identify your bottle and contents from above. Never mix up a cap again.
Superior Chemical and Thermal ResistanceManufactured using Borosilicate 3.3 glass, these laboratory utility bottles are highly resistant to most chemicals and can withstand temperatures up to 500C. This makes them ideal for handling volatile substances and storing solutions requiring robust containment.
Versatile Design and Sizing OptionsChoose from a wide range of sizes, from 250 ml to 2000 ml, with availability from 0.25 Ltr to 2 Ltr capacities. Wide and narrow mouth variants accommodate different usage preferences, while smooth surfaces facilitate effortless cleaning and maintenance.
User-Friendly Features for Laboratory EfficiencyEach bottle is equipped with clear graduation markings-either printed or embossed-for accurate volume monitoring. The polypropylene screw cap provides leak-proof protection, making these bottles suitable for storing chemicals, samples, and laboratory solutions securely.
FAQ's of Laboratory Utility Bottles:
Q: How should Laboratory Utility Bottles be cleaned after use?
A: After use, rinse the bottles with an appropriate solvent, followed by thorough washing with detergent and distilled water. Thanks to their glass construction and smooth finish, these bottles are easy to clean and maintain. For complete sterilization, they can be autoclaved at 121C.
Q: What are the benefits of using a Borosilicate 3.3 glass bottle in the laboratory?
A: Borosilicate 3.3 glass offers excellent chemical resistance and high thermal tolerance-up to 500C-making these bottles suitable for a variety of demanding laboratory protocols. They are durable, minimize risk of breakage under temperature changes, and are reusable, supporting sustainable lab practices.
Q: When should I choose a wide mouth over a narrow mouth Laboratory Utility Bottle?
A: Choose a wide mouth bottle for easy filling, pouring, or cleaning, particularly when working with solids or large volumes. Narrow mouth bottles are ideal for minimizing evaporation, enhancing safety, and providing controlled pouring of liquids.
Q: Are Laboratory Utility Bottles supplied sterile?
A: No, these utility bottles are supplied non-sterile. However, they can be sterilized as required by autoclaving at 121C, making them suitable for both routine and sterile applications.
Q: Where can these Laboratory Utility Bottles be used?
A: These bottles are suitable for a range of laboratory environments, including research facilities, educational institutions, chemical plants, and industrial laboratories for the storage of chemicals, samples, and solutions.
Q: What is the process for autoclaving these bottles?
A: To autoclave, ensure the bottle is clean and the cap is slightly loosened to prevent pressure build-up. Place the bottle in the autoclave and run it at 121C for the recommended time. After sterilization, allow the bottle to cool before tightening the cap and using it.
Q: How does the chemical-resistant and leak-proof design benefit laboratory work?
A: The chemical-resistant glass and secure polypropylene screw caps prevent leaks and ensure safe containment of a wide range of substances. This enhances laboratory safety and supports reliable sample or reagent storage.
