10L Borosilicate Glass Media Bottle GL45 Cap, Dual Graduations — Globe Glass
The Globe Glass™ 10-liter Borosilicate Media Bottle (810010K) is built for microbiology and cell culture labs that prepare, sterilize, and store media at scale — where the 10L format eliminates the multiple-bottle preparation steps required with smaller vessels and reduces autoclave load time per liter of media produced. ASTM E438 Type I Class A borosilicate 3.3 glass provides the chemical inertness and thermal shock resistance required for repeated autoclave sterilization cycles, and the GL45 polyethylene screw cap with drip-free pour ring makes dispensing clean and precise at this large format volume.
Key features
- ASTM E438 Type I Class A borosilicate 3.3 glass construction provides maximum chemical inertness for media preparation — no leaching of plasticizers or trace organics that can inhibit cell growth or alter reagent chemistry, unlike plastic media bottles used for equivalent applications
- GL45 polyethylene screw cap is autoclavable and compatible with standard GL45 aseptic transfer assemblies, bottle-top filters, and dispensing systems — enabling direct sterile filtration and media transfer without intermediate container steps
- Drip-free pour ring channels liquid flow cleanly during dispensing at the 10L scale, where even minor dripping during pouring creates significant cleanup requirements and media loss in laminar flow hood environments
- Dual scale metric graduations and durable white enamel printing remain legible through repeated autoclave cycles — enabling accurate volume tracking during media preparation without transferring to a graduated cylinder for each measurement

Applications
Used in cell culture facilities, pharmaceutical manufacturing, microbiology labs, and bioprocessing operations for large-scale media preparation, buffer preparation, and sterile reagent storage where the 10L format reduces batch preparation frequency and autoclave cycle count compared to smaller vessel formats. The GL45 cap standard enables direct integration with bottle-top filter assemblies for in-bottle sterile filtration of large media volumes in BSL-2 and BSC environments.
