The LaMotte 0688-DO 60mL, borosilicate glass, Boston round DO bottle has a threaded cap with a polyseal cap liner. This dissolved oxygen (DO) bottle is used to hold a water sample for testing and analysis of dissolved oxygen. The borosilicate glass body resists chemicals, thermal expansion, shock, and heat. Its Boston round shape is used for applications that require a rounded body, short neck, and narrow mouth to store liquid samples and solutions, and dry materials. This lab bottle has a threaded screw cap to help secure contents and prevent spills and evaporation. The cap's liner is made of polyethylene molded in a cone shape that forms to the inside of the bottle's neck, providing a tight seal and a chemical barrier. The borosilicate glass conforms to United States Pharmacopoeia (USP) Type I requirements for glass containers.
Lab bottles are used to store, hold, and mix liquids, powders, and other substances in a wide variety of scientific industries. Lab bottles have a more pronounced neck and shoulder than jars. Lab bottles are manufactured with a combination of characteristics in order to meet the demands of particular applications, such as for solution dispensing, mixing, and weighing, and use in centrifuge operations. They come in many shapes for specific applications, with a variety of mouth or nozzle shapes and sizes for specific use. Lab bottles are made from materials, such as glass (borosilicate or soda-lime) and an array of plastics, which are selected for chemical and thermal expansion resistance, transparency, and their adaptability in a variety of applications. Lab bottle interiors, caps, and lids are often lined with a protective material. Caps and lids help seal bottles to prevent solutions from spilling. The capacity refers to the fluid amount held by a lab bottle, and is commonly measured in milliliters (mL) and liters (l), and sometimes in ounces (oz). Lab bottles are suitable for use in chemistry and biology applications, as well as in pharmaceutical and scientific testing.
LaMotte manufactures analytical reagents, portable water testing instrumentation, and microbiological testing products. The company, founded in 1919, is headquartered in Chestertown, MD.
