600mL Wide Mouth PP Lab Jar, 89mm Opening — Screw Cap Sold Separately
The Globe Scientific 600mL Wide Mouth Polypropylene Jar (6401) is a heavy-duty lab jar for solid, powder, and specimen storage applications that require polypropylene chemical resistance in a wide-mouth format. The 89mm opening accommodates spatulas, scoops, and tongs for direct access to contents without transfer steps, and the thick PP walls resist impacts and the compressive loads of dense storage stacking. Screw cap sold separately — allowing labs to select the cap type (solid, vented, with liner) that matches their specific storage application. 150 jars per case.
Key features
- Polypropylene construction provides broader chemical compatibility than polyethylene at equivalent wall thickness — suitable for storage of aldehydes, ketones, dilute acids, and biological fixatives that degrade PE jars over extended contact
- 89mm wide mouth opening gives direct spatula, tong, and scoop access to solid specimens, powders, and tissue samples without transfer steps — the critical advantage of a jar over a bottle format for solid and semi-solid storage applications
- Separate screw cap procurement allows cap selection optimization per application — solid caps for vapor control, vented caps for gas-generating samples, lined caps for aggressive chemical storage — without purchasing an entire new jar inventory when the closure requirement changes
- Thick PP walls withstand compressive stacking in specimen storage cabinets and refrigerators — the 600mL size handles the weight load of fully-stacked column storage without the wall deformation that thinner-wall jars develop under continuous load

Applications
Used in analytical chemistry, pharmaceutical raw material storage, histology, and research labs for bulk powder reagent storage, solid chemical containment, specimen archiving, and any application requiring a wide-mouth PP jar at the 600mL volume where chemical resistance, direct-access opening, and stackable storage are all required. The separate cap procurement model suits labs managing multiple jar applications and needing cap flexibility without separate jar SKU proliferation.
