Corning gives you more bottle choices:
- Corning® square polycarbonate bottles with polypropylene caps are break resistant and autoclavable or microwavable
- Corning® easy grip round polystyrene bottles with polyethylene caps have a low profile for easier gripping and greater stability
- Costar® traditional round bottles with polyethylene caps

§Autoclaving will reduce mechanical strength.
*Bottle performance in freezers depends on both the temperature and contents in the bottle. It is strongly recommended that a trial run be performed under actual conditions to test the suitability of the bottles for frozen storage. |
