KIMAX GL 45 storage/media bottles are made with Type 1 Class A borosilicate glass

Kimble Chase, a US manufacturer of laboratory glassware products, has introduced KIMAX GL 45 storage/media bottles in sizes from 100ml to 10,000ml. They are manufactured with Type 1 Class A borosilicate glass for durable performance and resistance to thermal stress.

The bottles are available with linerless, autoclavable (up to 140°C) polypropylene GL 45 caps with an internal seal. For easy identification, they can be specified with blue, white or orange caps.

Other caps available include a red PBT (polybutyleneterephthalate) cap with PTFE/silicone liner (up to 180°C) offering resistance to solvents and acids.

A blue vented cap (up to 140°C) is also available for equalising pressure during autoclaving. An extra wide neck opening facilitates access, and replaceable polypropylene pour rings minimise drips while pouring.

KIMAX storage/media bottles feature permanent, white enamel graduations and marking spots. For enhanced safety, the bottles may be treated with KimCote, an ultra-clear coating that is applied to the exterior of laboratory glassware to resist breakage and contain leaking.

For light-sensitive compounds, Kimble Chase offers RAY-SORB treated glassware.

Kimble Chase Life Science and Research Products, based in Vineland, New Jersey, was formed in July 2007 through a joint venture between specific operations of Thermo Fisher Scientific and Gerresheimer Glass. The company designs and manufactures reusable, disposable and specialist glassware for laboratories across a range of industries, including pharmaceuticals and life sciences.
