Wide Mouth Jars, Polypropylene & Polystyrene, 30–1200 mL, 43–120mm Openings (Case)
The Globe Scientific Wide Mouth Jars deliver a broad opening for easy filling, scooping, and dispensing across 13 configurations in polypropylene (PP) and polystyrene (PS). Labs rely on these jars for bulk sample storage, reagent and powder transfer, and routine specimen collection where rapid access to contents matters.
Wide 43mm to 120mm openings accommodate spatulas, pipettes, and gloved hands without spillage. Choose PP for autoclave-friendly chemical durability or PS for clarity when visual inspection is the priority. Each jar is sold by the case for stockroom standardization.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between the PP and PS jars?
Polypropylene (PP) offers broader chemical resistance and tolerates higher temperatures, including autoclaving. Polystyrene (PS) provides superior optical clarity for visual inspection but has limited solvent compatibility.
Are these jars sterile?
No. All options ship non-sterile. For applications requiring sterility, validate an appropriate decontamination method against the resin — PP withstands autoclaving while PS does not.
Do the jars include caps?
These listings cover the jar bodies with the stated opening diameters. Confirm matching closure SKUs with our team so your case quantities of jars and caps align.
Can the 60 mL jars be ordered with different opening sizes?
Yes. The 60 mL (2 oz) format is available with either a 48mm or 53mm opening in both PP and PS, letting you match neck size to your dispensing tools.
