Globe Scientific 172oz Multi-Purpose Container | White, Case of 40

Industrial, environmental, and large-scale clinical facilities often require massive, robust vessels for bulk material handling. The Globe Scientific 270172 Multi-Purpose Container is designed to meet this demand, offering an expansive 172oz (5160mL) capacity. Engineered from high-strength, opaque white polyethylene (PE), this heavy-duty container shields light-sensitive contents from UV degradation while providing exceptional resistance against drops, impacts, and a wide variety of laboratory chemicals.

Unlike traditional threaded buckets, this container utilizes a separate, tight-fitting snap lid. The snap-on design allows for incredibly fast access—eliminating the need to endlessly twist a large diameter lid while wearing bulky protective gloves. Once snapped into place, the lid provides a highly secure closure that protects bulk powders, large solid specimens, or high-volume liquids from environmental contamination during storage or intra-facility transport. Packaged in cases of 40, these containers are the ultimate solution for heavy-duty bulk containment.

Features and Benefits

• Massive 172oz (5L) Capacity: Accommodates bulk reagent powders, large tissue specimens, or high-volume liquid waste, reducing the number of smaller containers needed for large jobs.

• Opaque White Polyethylene: The heavy-duty PE construction provides superior impact resistance and protects light-sensitive materials from UV degradation during storage.

• Secure Snap Lid: The separate snap-on lid engages firmly over the rim to block environmental contaminants, while being significantly faster to open and close than large threaded caps.

• Wide Mouth Accessibility: The large opening accommodates scoops, spatulas, or large solid items with ease, preventing spills during bulk transfers.

• Stackable Profile: The flat lid design allows multiple filled containers to be securely stacked in storage closets or cold rooms, maximizing floor space.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the snap lid water-tight?
The snap lid provides a highly secure closure that protects against dust, debris, and light splashing. However, because it is a snap-fit and not a threaded gasket seal, it is not recommended for courier transport of large volumes of liquid where the container might be inverted or dropped.

Are the lids included in the case?
Yes, the case of 40 includes both the 40 white PE containers and their corresponding 40 snap lids.

Can I write on the outside of this container?
Yes, the opaque white polyethylene surface easily accepts permanent laboratory markers or adhesive labels for clear inventory identification.
