Tall Form Handled Beakers
Manufacturer: United Scientific
The United Scientific Tall Form Handled Beakers (often referred to as laboratory jugs) are designed for the safe decanting and transport of large volumes of liquids. Molded from high-clarity polypropylene (PP), these beakers offer a lightweight yet shatterproof alternative to glass, significantly reducing the risk of injury and sample loss in busy laboratory environments. The ergonomic integrated handle provides a secure grip, even when wearing heavy gloves, ensuring a steady pour for volatile or hot reagents. Each beaker features raised graduations molded into the plastic, which remain permanent and legible even after repeated autoclaving or exposure to harsh cleaning agents.
Description
Available in a range of sizes to accommodate everything from precise reagent preparation to bulk solvent transfer.
Key Functional Benefits:
- The tall-form design combined with a tapered spout and sturdy handle allows for high-precision pouring with minimal "drip-back"
- Unlike printed markings that can peel or dissolve over time, the raised graduations are part of the mold, ensuring the markings stay accurate for the life of the beaker
- Polypropylene is highly resistant to impact and most laboratory chemicals, making these beakers ideal for industrial, educational, and high-throughput research settings
- These jugs can be autoclaved (sterilized) at 121°C (15 psi for 20 minutes), making them suitable for microbiology and sterile manufacturing workflows
Laboratory Usage Insights:
- Autoclaving Tip: To prevent warping or vacuum-related distortion during the cooling phase of an autoclave cycle, always ensure the beaker is empty and not tightly sealed or inverted over a flat surface
- Chemical Compatibility: While PP has broad resistance, avoid using it with strong oxidizing agents or aromatic hydrocarbons for extended periods. For high-purity applications, these beakers are preferred because they do not leach ions like standard soda-lime glass
- Visibility: The "clear" polypropylene provides enough translucency to easily identify liquid levels and see the color of the contents, which is essential for titration and mixing
