FAQ
Glass media bottles from Duran, Pyrex and Fisherbrand offer excellent chemical and thermal resistance for repeated autoclaving. PETG and PET bottles from Thermo Scientific Nalgene and Corning are lightweight, shatter-resistant and often supplied sterile, ideal for cold storage, cleanrooms and single-use workflows where reduced breakage risk is critical.
Select bottle volume based on working volume, headspace and storage constraints. Small volumes, such as 30mL to 250mL, suit assay buffers and samples, while 500mL to 2L media bottles from Duran, Fisherbrand and Corning support routine media prep. Larger 5L and 10L formats help consolidate bulk media and minimise handling steps.
GL45 screw caps with pouring rings, as supplied on many Duran and Fisherbrand bottles, provide secure sealing and drip-free pouring. Thermo Scientific Nalgene and Corning square bottles often use HDPE or similar closures that ensure leak resistance during shaking and transport. Always confirm chemical compatibility and sterilisation method for the cap material.
Square PETG and PET media bottles from Thermo Scientific Nalgene and Corning maximise storage density in incubators, fridges and freezers, while flat sides aid labelling and visual inspection. They reduce wasted space in racks and boxes compared with round bottles, supporting higher throughput in busy cell culture and bioprocessing laboratories.
Choose pre-sterilised PETG or PET media bottles from Thermo Scientific Nalgene and Corning for aseptic workflows, or autoclave suitable borosilicate glass bottles from Duran, Pyrex and Fisherbrand. Use good aseptic technique when opening, minimise open time, and avoid reusing single-use bottles to maintain sterility and reduce contamination risk.
