The KIMBLE® GLS 80® bottle is manufactured from 33 expansion low extractable borosilicate glass in conformance to the USP Type I standard for neutral glass. Resistant to acids, corrosive chemicals and thermal shock, the bottles withstand temperatures as high as 500˚C making them suitable for autoclaving.

Bottles are fitted with a matching pouring ring for drip-free pouring. Easy-to-read volume graduations and white marking patch allow for clear identification of bottle contents.

The four-port Multiport Cap system provides a choice of 5 port inserts designed to fit different size tubing. Constructed of polypropylene (PP) and polytetrafluorethylene (PTFE), the cap components are autoclavable.
