Preventing reaction with reagent bottles is the key to reagent preservation
The reagents are of various types and characteristics, and have been widely used in in vitro diagnostics, laboratories, drug research, etc. The preservation of reagents is a necessary task for laboratories and scientific researchers, and the preservation of reagents and reagent bottles is to prevent them from reacting. The key to work.
Common reagent bottles are mainly made of glass and plastic. How to prevent the reagents from reacting with the reagent bottles? Consider the composition of the material. The main component of glass is silica, and the main component of plastic is polymer. Therefore, glass bottles are not suitable for reagents that react with silica, such as hydrofluoric acid or a salt solution that can produce hydrofluoric acid after hydrolysis. For this type of solution, a plastic reagent bottle should be selected.
For some special reagents, you should choose matching reagent bottles that meet their characteristics or store them in a suitable environment according to the characteristics of the reagents. For example, reagents that are easily decomposed should be brown reagent bottles. Volatile reagents generally need to be stored at low temperature. In addition, external factors will also affect the storage of reagents. Many reagents are prone to react with water vapor, oxygen or carbon dioxide. When storing these reagents, sealing, water sealing, oil sealing, or wax sealing should be considered to prevent the reagents from contacting these substances. .
There are many types of reagents that are toxic, flammable and explosive. Choosing the right reagent bottle is the key to the preservation of reagents. This is a basic requirement for experiments and scientific research personnel, as well as a necessary factor to ensure their own safety.
