Media bottles are typically constructed from biologically and chemically inert plastic or glass and feature screw-on caps. These bottles are suitable for storing non-hazardous chemicals or volatile organic substances for a long period of time. Cap liners may possibly interact with bottle contents, however if chosen carefully, the cap liner will protect the bottle’s contents from corruption and spillage during transportation or storage.
When unbreakable containers or low temperature use/storage are required, plastic media bottles are recommended for their lightweight and impact-resistant features. When higher temperatures are needed, glass bottles are suggested. Amber glass media bottles are more suitable for light-sensitive samples or specimens.
