Laboratory Glass Reagent Bottles are an essential tool used to store and transport liquids in lab settings. These bottles come in all shapes and sizes and are made of various materials. Amber reagent bottles are a specific type of reagent bottle that possesses a unique and crucial function in lab settings.
The primary function of an amber reagent bottle is to protect sensitive chemicals from light degradation. Amber glass is produced by adding small amounts of iron and sulfur to the glass mixture. This produces a dark brown or amber-colored glass that absorbs high-energy light wavelengths such as UV light. The amber glass, therefore, acts as a filter and prevents light from damaging light-sensitive chemicals.
Amber reagent bottles are especially important for storing light-sensitive chemicals such as vitamins, antibiotics, and photochemicals. These chemicals can lose their effectiveness when exposed to light, so it is important to protect them with an amber lab reagent bottle. The amber color also offers an added safety feature by warning lab personnel that the bottle’s contents are light-sensitive and should be handled with care.
Apart from protecting light-sensitive chemicals, amber reagent bottles also offer the same benefits as other reagent bottles. They are made of borosilicate glass that exhibits high chemical resistance and low thermal expansion. This makes them ideal for storing chemicals at high temperatures. The bottles are also equipped with a scale and white enamel marking area, making them easy to label and organize.
At Yancheng Huida Glass Instruments, we understand the importance of proper lab equipment. As a leading manufacturer of laboratory glassware, we produce high-quality amber reagent bottles that meet all the necessary lab standards.
