Heathrow Scientific Color-Coded Wide Mouth Wash Bottles - 120245 Series | 500mL, Pack of 6

Color-coding reagent bottles by application or user is standard lab practice — but it only works if the bottles are actually different colors. Heathrow Scientific Color-Coded Wide Mouth Wash Bottles give you five cap colors (White, Red, Yellow, Green, Blue) on the same 500mL wide-mouth LDPE body, letting you assign a color per solvent, per user, or per station without switching bottle types. The wide mouth fills quickly without a funnel. LDPE body is chemically compatible with common lab solvents including acetone, IPA, ethanol, and methanol. PP closure. Sold as a pack of 6. Unlabeled — apply your own label for the specific reagent contents. Made in India to Heathrow Scientific specifications.

Features and Benefits

• 5 cap colors for visual management — White, Red, Yellow, Green, Blue — assign one color per solvent (Red = acetone, Yellow = IPA, White = ethanol, Green = methanol, Blue = water is a common lab convention matching the safety-labeled line); enforce color assignments across shared benches to prevent accidental solvent mix-ups during multi-step procedures

• Wide mouth — fast filling without a funnel — standard narrow-mouth wash bottles require a funnel or a very steady pour to fill from a bulk solvent container without spillage; the wide mouth accepts direct pouring from most solvent containers and reduces fill time and spill risk during daily restocking

• 500mL LDPE body — compatible with common lab solvents — LDPE is appropriate for acetone, IPA, ethanol, methanol, and most common polar organic solvents; not recommended for highly concentrated oxidizers, aromatic hydrocarbons, or chlorinated solvents — use appropriate secondary containment and consult chemical compatibility data for your specific reagent

• Pack of 6 — stock a full set of colors in one order — ordering all 5 colors (White/Red/Yellow/Green/Blue) gives a bench-ready color-coded set with one spare; each color ships as a pack of 6 bottles at $33

• Unlabeled — apply your own label for reagent traceability — leaving the bottle body unlabeled gives you full control over the labeling system: apply GHS-compliant secondary container labels, your institutional reagent label format, or a simple lab-printed label with chemical name and hazard information

Laboratory Applications

• Multi-Solvent Bench Organization — assign one color per solvent across a shared bench so every user reaches for the correct solvent by cap color without reading labels during rapid workflow steps

• User Assignment in Shared Spaces — assign one color per bench user in a shared lab to prevent cross-contamination of personal solvent stocks during simultaneous multi-user bench work

• Station Identification — Multi-Stage Processing Lines — assign one color per processing station in a multi-step wash or cleaning protocol so bottles don't migrate between stations during high-throughput work

Frequently Asked Questions

How do color-coded and safety-labeled wash bottles differ — which should I choose?
Color-coded (this product, 120245–120249) are unlabeled bottles where you provide your own label; appropriate when your lab uses a custom labeling system or when the color coding itself is the primary visual management tool. Safety-labeled (120250–120257) are pre-printed with the solvent name, hazard warnings, and GHS-style pictograms for the specific chemical; appropriate when GHS secondary container labeling compliance is required and the convenience of pre-printed bottles outweighs the flexibility of custom labeling. Safety-labeled also include a self-venting cap that prevents pressure buildup in sealed solvent bottles; color-coded use a standard PP closure.

Quality Assurance

Heathrow Scientific Color-Coded Wash Bottles are manufactured from LDPE with polypropylene closures to Heathrow Scientific specifications. LDPE chemical compatibility is appropriate for the common polar organic solvents used in laboratory wash bottle applications. Each pack of 6 is inspected for closure integrity before shipment.
