Multi-Purpose Polypropylene Containers, 8 oz to 86 oz (240–2580 mL), Screw Cap — Case Packs
The Globe Scientific Multi-Purpose Containers are rigid polypropylene vessels with leak-resistant screw caps, sized from 8 oz to 86 oz for routine specimen collection, bulk sample storage, and reagent transport. Graduated walls support quick volume reads at the bench, while the wide-mouth design eases filling, decanting, and labeling across high-throughput clinical and industrial workflows.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are these multi-purpose containers sterile?
No. These polypropylene containers ship non-sterile and are intended for general collection, storage, and transport. For sterile applications, validate an in-house autoclave or gas-sterilization protocol against PP temperature limits.
Can the containers be autoclaved?
Polypropylene tolerates standard autoclave cycles at 121°C. Loosen caps before autoclaving to vent pressure, and confirm dimensional stability for repeated cycling before adopting for routine reuse.
What solvents should be avoided?
PP resists aqueous buffers, dilute acids, and dilute bases well. Avoid aromatic and chlorinated solvents, which can swell or weaken the wall. Alcohols and acetonitrile are generally acceptable for short-term contact.
How are these sold and priced?
