Amber Borosilicate Media Bottles, 50–1000 mL, GL32/GL45 Screw Cap, Dual Graduations, 10/Box
The Globe Scientific Amber Media Bottle series delivers light-protected storage for photosensitive reagents, buffers, and culture media in durable borosilicate glass. Amber tinting blocks UV and visible light that degrades sensitive solutions, while dual graduations support quick volume reference during preparation and dispensing. Each bottle ships with a leak-resistant screw cap for secure transport and bench storage.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are these amber media bottles autoclavable?
Yes. The borosilicate glass body withstands repeated steam sterilization at 121°C. Loosen the screw cap before autoclaving to prevent pressure buildup, and allow gradual cooling to avoid thermal shock.
Which cap thread sizes do these bottles use?
The 50 mL bottle uses a GL32 thread, while the 100, 250, 500, and 1000 mL bottles all use the standard GL45 thread, allowing shared caps and accessories across the larger sizes.
How much light protection does the amber glass provide?
The amber tint absorbs UV and short-wavelength visible light that degrades photosensitive solutions, helping preserve reagent integrity during storage compared with clear glass.
Are the bottles sold individually or by the box?
All five volumes are supplied 10 bottles per box, and the listed price is per box of 10. Mixed-volume orders and case-quantity pricing are available on request.
