NCI Storage Bottles 100 mL / 120 mL – Wide-Mouth Bottles
Typical Uses
Wide-mouth laboratory storage bottles (100 mL and 120 mL) are commonly used for:
1. Sample Collection & Storage
Holding liquid samples (water, buffer solutions, culture media).
Collecting solid or semi-solid samples (powders, sediments, soil, tablets) because the wide mouth allows easy loading.
2. Chemical Storage
Short-term storage of reagents, chemicals, and standards.
Suitable for non-volatile or mildly volatile compounds (depending on bottle material—usually HDPE, PP, or PET).
3. Microbiology & Environmental Testing
Collecting water samples for analysis.
Storing microbial cultures, inoculum, or prepared media.
