Description
Corning® 1 L Easy Grip Polystyrene (PS) Sterile Storage Bottles, Plug Seal Caps (430518) – Case of 24
The Corning® 430518 is a premium, sterile laboratory fluid management vessel engineered for the storage, staging, and transport of tissue culture media, fetal bovine serum (FBS), sensitive biological reagents, and analytical buffers. Precision-molded from crystal-clear, high-purity virgin polystyrene, this 1 Liter bottle incorporates an Easy Grip structural profile along the upper body circumference to facilitate secure hand manipulation under biosafety hoods. The system integrates an orange, high-density polyethylene plug seal screw cap that forms a gas- and liquid-tight mechanical compression seal, completely suppressing evaporation-driven pH shifts or biological weeping. Arriving as a commercial case of 24 individually wrapped bottles, this single-use configuration is standard hardware for upstream bioprocessing, master mix aliquoting, and aseptic sterile fluid archiving.
Technical Performance & Structural Architecture
- Ergonomic Easy Grip Side indents: Features deep, molded-in recessed finger channels around the upper shoulder matrix. This mechanical grip architecture minimizes slip risks when handling the container with wet or alcohol-sprayed nitrile gloves, reducing the hazard of costly reagent spills.
- Deep-Molded Plug Seal Cap Geometry: Outfitted with an orange, high-density polyethylene (HDPE) screw closure incorporating a dynamic interior plug seal. This plug extends directly down into the bottleneck orifice, maintaining a reliable dual-surface compression boundary that protects contents from ambient atmospheric exposure during cold room storage.
- Permanent High-Contrast Volumetric Scale: Molded with highly legible, permanent graduations running along the clear face of the bottle in 50 mL increments. This provides long-term volume verification that will not blur or degrade when wiped down with 70% isopropyl alcohol or specialized cleanroom disinfectants.
- Aseptic Individual Peel-Pack Protection: Every storage bottle arrives pre-sterilized via validated gamma irradiation and is individually sealed inside an easy-to-peel medical-grade polymer bag. This ensures that each unit remains completely sterile and dust-free until the moment of use inside a laminar flow bench.
