New square polycarbonate storage bottles are easier to handle, require less space (13-20%) on the shelf or in the autoclave and are ideal for mixing, sampling and storage. Polycarbonate resin makes them more break resistant than glass and plastic bottles. Bottles use a linerless, one-piece autoclavable orange GL45 threaded polypropylene plug seal cap.

- Bottles can be autoclaved once at 121ºC and 15psi. Repeated autoclaving weakens polycarbonate and is not recommended.
- Optional reusable caps with silicone septa for syringe sampling or introduction of reagents are available for these caps. Click here for more information on these caps.

Note: many GL45 threaded caps designed for glass storage bottles use a different sealing design and will not give a secure seal if used on these plastic bottles.
Caution: These square polycarbonate bottles should NOT be used with bottle top filter units, or in other applications involving vacuum pressure, as breakage may occur. DO NOT tighten caps immediately after autoclaving as the vacuum resulting from cooling can cause breakage.
