Plastic Lab Containers are clear, leak-resistant vessels with screw caps for safely collecting and transporting specimens or reagents. They’re shatter-safe, easy to label, and available in sterile or non-sterile options with readable graduations. Ideal for hospitals, research labs, and QA teams that need dependable, traceable sample handling. A practical upgrade from glass or household containers when accuracy, safety, and workflow efficiency matter.
Description
Plastic Lab Containers are clear, durable vessels designed for collecting, storing, and transporting liquid or solid specimens in clinical, research, and industrial laboratories. Made from laboratory-grade polymers such as polypropylene or polystyrene, they offer excellent clarity, chemical resistance, and reliable sealing with a threaded cap. Many versions include molded graduations for quick volume checks and a writable panel for patient or sample identification. Lightweight and shatter-resistant, they are safer and more economical than glass for routine workflows.
Key features and benefits:
• Leak-resistant screw cap with inner seal to reduce spills during transport
• Clear walls with easy-to-read graduations for fast visual checks
• Writable area for labeling and barcode placement to support traceability
• Non-porous, low-lint surfaces that clean easily and help limit contamination
• Available sterile or non-sterile, with tamper-evident options for chain-of-custody
• Space-efficient cylindrical shape that nests in racks and carriers
Typical uses and applications:
• Patient sample collection in hospitals, diagnostic centers, and public health programs
• Storage of reagents, buffers, and aliquots in research labs and universities
• Environmental sampling of water or soil extracts in field studies
• QA/QC work in food, beverage, and pharmaceutical production
Compared with glass jars, plastic lab containers are lighter, shatter-safe, and more cost-effective for high-throughput use. Compared with generic household containers, laboratory-grade versions are cleaner, more consistent, and designed for barcoding, identification, and controlled handling. Polypropylene variants typically tolerate routine disinfection and, where appropriate, steam sterilization; users should verify cycle compatibility for their selected model. Choose these containers to improve sample integrity, reduce breakage, and streamline labeling from collection to analysis.
