The Laboratory Reagent Bottles category brings together products designed to contain, transfer, mix, protect, label and store samples and reagents throughout everyday laboratory work. In a working laboratory, the category supports more than a single task because it connects preparation, handling, operation and routine maintenance around the same method.
Small differences in material, dimensions, cleanliness and closure design can affect compatibility, contamination risk and ease of handling. This is why laboratories should assess closure or connection, temperature and chemical compatibility, sterility or cleanliness, and material before choosing a product, rather than relying only on capacity, appearance or headline specifications.
Consumables work best when vessel material, capacity, closure, cleanliness and disposal or reuse requirements are selected as part of the complete method. The same principle applies across research, clinical, education, industrial, food and quality-control laboratories: control the inputs, use compatible equipment and document the conditions that can influence the result. As part of the Laboratory Consumables & Glassware range, these products can be selected with the equipment and consumables used before and after this stage.
Our Laboratory Reagent Bottles range
Our collection covers amber glass used for some reagent bottles, reagent bottles formats, specifications and compatibility, these bottles for storing bases as well as acids, and purpose of an acid cap bottle, giving laboratories practical choices for routine work and more specialised applications.
Amber glass used for some reagent bottles
Amber glass filters out ultraviolet (UV) and infrared radiation, which is essential for storing chemicals that are light-sensitive and would otherwise decompose or react when exposed to light. The most suitable format depends on closure or connection, temperature and chemical compatibility, and sterility or cleanliness. Laboratories should also confirm how the product will be prepared, used, cleaned or disposed of between runs. This is especially valuable when teams need to standardise routine bench work and reduce interruptions caused by mismatched everyday supplies. Consistent handling also reduces the risk of variation between batches or operators.
Laboratory Reagent Bottles formats, specifications and compatibility
"NS" refers to Normal Ground (Normschliff), a standardized taper used for ground glass joints. This ensures that DWK Duran stoppers and bottles provide a perfectly matched, airtight seal. Before ordering, compare temperature and chemical compatibility, sterility or cleanliness, and material. A product that fits the complete workflow will generally be easier to validate, maintain and reorder. In practice, this supports efforts to standardise routine bench work and reduce interruptions caused by mismatched everyday supplies. It also gives staff a clearer and more repeatable procedure when multiple users or shifts share the same equipment.
These bottles for storing bases as well as acids
The high-quality borosilicate glass from DWK Duran provides excellent resistance to both acids and alkalis, though extremely strong bases may eventually etch the glass over very long periods. Before ordering, compare sterility or cleanliness, material, and capacity and dimensions. A product that fits the complete workflow will generally be easier to validate, maintain and reorder. Within the wider method, these products help laboratories standardise routine bench work and reduce interruptions caused by mismatched everyday supplies. They should be reviewed together with associated consumables, accessories and cleaning requirements.
Purpose of an acid cap bottle
DWK Duran acid cap bottles are specifically designed to safely store concentrated acids. The specialised cap and stopper system helps contain corrosive fumes and prevents accidental spills. For routine and specialised work, assess material, capacity and dimensions, and graduation or tolerance. Matching these points early helps avoid adapters, consumables or operating limitations being discovered after purchase. In practice, this supports efforts to standardise routine bench work and reduce interruptions caused by mismatched everyday supplies. It also gives staff a clearer and more repeatable procedure when multiple users or shifts share the same equipment.
Featured brands
DWK Life Sciences is known for laboratory glassware, bottles and precision handling products, BRAND is known for liquid-handling products, volumetric labware and supporting accessories, VITLAB is known for plastic labware, dispensing products and chemical-resistant handling solutions, and LLG Labware is known for practical laboratory consumables, accessories and routine bench supplies.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why is amber glass used for some reagent bottles?
Amber glass filters out ultraviolet (UV) and infrared radiation, which is essential for storing chemicals that are light-sensitive and would otherwise decompose or react when exposed to light. Before ordering, confirm material, capacity and dimensions, and graduation or tolerance and any accessories or consumables needed for routine use.
What does "NS" stand for in relation to stoppers?
"NS" refers to Normal Ground (Normschliff), a standardized taper used for ground glass joints. This ensures that DWK Duran stoppers and bottles provide a perfectly matched, airtight seal. Laboratories should compare material, capacity and dimensions, and graduation or tolerance and document the selected setup for consistent use.
Are these bottles suitable for storing bases as well as acids?
The high-quality borosilicate glass from DWK Duran provides excellent resistance to both acids and alkalis, though extremely strong bases may eventually etch the glass over very long periods. Laboratories should compare material, capacity and dimensions, and graduation or tolerance and document the selected setup for consistent use.
What is the purpose of an acid cap bottle?
DWK Duran acid cap bottles are specifically designed to safely store concentrated acids. The specialised cap and stopper system helps contain corrosive fumes and prevents accidental spills. The final choice should reflect material, capacity and dimensions, and graduation or tolerance, as these points influence day-to-day compatibility and repeatability.
How do I choose the right reagent bottles for my laboratory?
Start with the application and sample, then compare material, capacity and dimensions, graduation or tolerance, and closure or connection. Check compatibility with existing equipment and confirm any accessories, consumables, calibration items or replacement parts required for routine use. Before ordering, confirm material, capacity and dimensions, and graduation or tolerance and any accessories or consumables needed for routine use.
