Frequently asked questions
Common questions about FOXX LIFE SCIENCES from 3G Electric.
What materials are FOXX LIFE SCIENCES plastic lab vacuum bottles made from?
FOXX LIFE SCIENCES plastic lab vacuum bottles are molded from either high-density polyethylene (HDPE) or polypropylene. HDPE models, such as those with MPNs starting with 162-, offer good chemical resistance and impact strength. Polypropylene models, with MPNs starting with 165-, provide higher temperature resistance and are often chosen for media storage. Both materials are suitable for non-sterile laboratory applications. The bottles are white and feature a rectangular shape with a wide mouth. Some polypropylene models are FDA-compliant for food and media contact. The choice between HDPE and polypropylene depends on the specific chemical compatibility and temperature requirements of the application.
What capacities are available for FOXX LIFE SCIENCES rectangular plastic lab bottles?
FOXX LIFE SCIENCES rectangular plastic lab bottles are available in 1 L, 2 L, and 4 L capacities. For example, the 1 L polypropylene vacuum bottle (MPN 165-1102-OEM) and the 1 L HDPE vacuum bottle (MPN 162-1102-OEM) are suitable for smaller volumes. The 2 L options include polypropylene models such as MPN 165-2111-FLS and 165-2102-OEM. The 4 L bottles, including MPN 165-4202-OEM and 162-4202-OEM, accommodate larger volumes for media storage or collection. These capacities cover a range of laboratory liquid handling needs. The rectangular design allows efficient storage. Graduated markings on many models assist with volume measurement.
Are FOXX LIFE SCIENCES plastic lab bottles sterile?
FOXX LIFE SCIENCES plastic lab bottles are supplied non-sterile. They are intended for general laboratory use where sterility is not required or where the user performs sterilization before use. The non-sterile format reduces packaging and cost, making them suitable for routine liquid handling, media preparation, and vacuum applications. If sterile conditions are necessary, users should autoclave or otherwise sterilize the bottles according to the material's temperature limits. Polypropylene bottles generally withstand autoclaving better than HDPE. Always verify compatibility with the specific sterilization method. 3G Electric lists the sterility status in the product specifications.
Can FOXX LIFE SCIENCES vacuum bottles be used for media storage?
Yes, several FOXX LIFE SCIENCES vacuum bottles are designed for media storage. For instance, the 4 L HDPE vacuum bottle (MPN 162-4201-OEM) and the 4 L polypropylene vacuum bottle (MPN 165-4203-OEM) are specified for media/storage applications. The polypropylene model is FDA-compliant, making it suitable for media that may contact food or require regulatory compliance. The wide mouth facilitates filling and cleaning, and the graduated markings help with volume measurement. These bottles are non-sterile, so users should sterilize them if needed. The rectangular shape allows efficient use of incubator or refrigerator space. Always follow appropriate handling procedures for media storage.
What is the difference between FOXX LIFE SCIENCES HDPE and polypropylene vacuum bottles?
FOXX LIFE SCIENCES HDPE and polypropylene vacuum bottles differ primarily in material properties. HDPE bottles, such as MPN 162-4202-OEM, offer good impact resistance and chemical resistance to many acids and bases, but have lower temperature tolerance. Polypropylene bottles, like MPN 165-4202-OEM, provide higher temperature resistance and are often chosen for applications involving autoclaving or hot liquids. Polypropylene also has slightly better clarity, though both are white. Some polypropylene models are FDA-compliant for food contact. The choice depends on the specific chemicals, temperatures, and regulatory requirements of the application. Both materials are suitable for vacuum use and feature wide mouths and graduations.
