480mL Wide Mouth PP Lab Jar, 89mm Opening, 180/Case — Cap Sold Separately
The Globe Scientific 480mL Wide Mouth Polypropylene Jar (6399) is a versatile chemical-resistant lab jar for solid, powder, and liquid storage applications at the pint-size working volume. Polypropylene construction provides chemical compatibility across the broadest reagent range available in a plastic jar at this volume — including aldehydes, ketones, dilute acids, and biological fixatives that degrade polyethylene and polystyrene alternatives. The 89mm opening gives direct spatula and scoop access, and the cap-sold-separately model lets procurement select the exact closure type for each application. 180 jars per case.
Key features
- Polypropylene construction handles a wider chemical range than PE or PS alternatives at equivalent wall thickness — suitable for formaldehyde-based fixatives, dilute acids and bases, ketone solvents, and biological specimens that would degrade polyethylene or polystyrene jars over extended storage
- 89mm wide-mouth opening provides direct spatula, scoop, and tong access for solid reagents, tissue specimens, and semi-solid materials without intermediate transfer steps that introduce contamination or loss
- Cap sold separately allows procurement to match the closure type to the storage application — solid cap for vapor control, vented cap for gas-generating samples, lined cap for aggressive chemical storage — without committing to a single closure type across all 180 jars in the case
- 180 jars per case at below-retail pricing through LabSupplies.com — significantly lower per-unit cost than single-jar or small-pack purchasing from Fisher Scientific or VWR for labs with consistent high-volume jar consumption
