Bottles, Containers & Vials


Bottles, containers, and vials support routine laboratory storage, dispensing, transport, and sample handling across research, analytical, pharmaceutical, environmental, and industrial workflows. The right container helps protect material integrity, improve handling, and support more consistent results.


This category includes glass and plastic lab containers in a range of sizes, shapes, and closure styles. Common options include narrow-mouth bottles for controlled pouring, wide-mouth bottles and jars for powders or viscous materials, amber containers for light-sensitive contents, wash bottles for dispensing, media bottles for preparation and storage, and specialty vials for analytical use. Material choice also matters: borosilicate glass offers strong chemical resistance and thermal performance, while plastics such as HDPE, LDPE, PET, and PP can provide lighter weight, impact resistance, and application-specific compatibility.


What You Will Find In This Category
  • Bottles for sample collection, reagent storage, transport, and controlled dispensing.
  • Media bottles and lab bottles for mixing, sterilization, storage, and repeated bench use.
  • Jars, jugs, and wide-mouth containers for powders, viscous materials, and easier cleaning.
  • Vials and specialty containers for analytical workflows, standards, and autosampler use.

In many laboratories, product families such as KIMBLE GL45 media bottles and WHEATON clear media lab bottles are used for everyday media preparation, mixing, and storage because they combine durable construction with closure systems suited to repeated bench use. Other formats, such as Boston rounds, wide mouth jars, and amber storage bottles, serve different handling and storage needs depending on the application.


Selection Considerations

When selecting bottles, containers, and vials, laboratories should consider chemical compatibility, sterilization requirements, closure performance, labeling visibility, and the demands of transport, storage, or dispensing. Boston round bottles are commonly selected for liquids, standards, and packaged reagents, while wide mouth jars and bottles make filling and cleaning easier when working with powders, granules, or viscous materials. Amber bottles are especially useful when contents need added protection from light exposure.


Choosing the proper container helps reduce contamination risk, improve workflow efficiency, and support safer handling of valuable or sensitive samples. A well-matched bottle system is not just packaging; it is part of the lab's overall quality and workflow control.
