Corning Storage Bottle 250 ml Easy Grip Sterile Case of 24 Bottles

Corning 250 mL Easy-Grip Polystyrene Storage Bottles – 45 mm High-Density Polyethylene Plug Seal Cap, Low-Profile Indented Sidewalls, Vacuum Filter Receiver Compatible, Gamma Sterile, Non-Pyrogenic (MPN: 430281)

The Corning Life Sciences 430281 is a research-grade, single-use laboratory storage bottle designed for the safe collection, preparation, and sterile holding of tissue culture media, sera, biological buffers, and aqueous reagents. Molded from crystal-clear virgin polystyrene (PS), this 250 mL vessel features Corning's low-profile "Easy-Grip" side indentations, providing technicians with a secure, slip-free handhold during wet-bench procedures and hood manipulations. The bottle is fitted with an orange, heavy-duty 45 mm high-density polyethylene (HDPE) plug seal screw cap that establishes a leak-proof hermetic barrier against environmental contaminants and ambient evaporation. Engineered with high-contrast, molded-in volumetric graduations and a standard 45 mm wide-mouth neck thread, this sterile container serves as both a standalone media storage bottle and a direct receiver flask for 45 mm bottle-top vacuum filtration units.

Technical Performance and Structural Design

• Ergonomic Easy-Grip Sidewall Indentations: Designed with contoured, recessed side channels that fit comfortably in hand. This physical grip profile prevents slipping when handling bottles wearing wet nitrile gloves inside laminar flow hoods.

• 45 mm HDPE Plug Seal Closure: Features an orange high-density polyethylene threaded cap with an internal plug seal ring. The plug compresses against the inner neck wall to create an airtight, liquid-tight seal that prevents leakage and guards against airborne microbial contamination.

• Vacuum Filtration System Receiver Interoperability: Built with a standardized 45 mm wide-mouth neck thread. This geometry allows the bottle to screw directly onto Corning bottle-top vacuum filter units (such as PES, CA, or Nylon membrane systems), serving as a clean receiver vessel for sterile filtration routines.

• Certified Biological Purity: Gamma-irradiated to guarantee sterility and certified non-pyrogenic (endotoxin levels less than 0.1 EU/mL), safeguarding sensitive primary cell cultures and molecular reagents from biological degradation.
