FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Light-shielding Plastic Volumetric Flasks - Greater Protection for Light-sensitive Substances
BrandTech Scientific has introduced a safe, breakage-resistant alternative to conventional amber glass volumetric flasks for working with light-sensitive substances. Manufactured by BrandTech’s German affiliate, VITLAB, the specially pigmented PMP plastic is virtually opaque in the UV range and delivers substantially lower light transmission and more consistent opacity to visible and UV light than even high-quality brown glass.
Available in sizes from 10 to 1000ml with PP screw caps, these light-shielding volumetric flasks offer accuracy to Class A standards even after autoclaving at temperatures up to 121°C. The flasks may also be sterilized with formalin or ethanol, or by ß-radiation, and are microwavable. They offer excellent resistance to acids, alkalis and alcohols at room temperature, and good to limited (short-exposure) resistance to aliphatic hydrocarbons, aldehydes, ketones and esters. The flasks are not suitable for use with aromatic and halogenated hydrocarbons, ethers, oxidizing acids or oxidizing agents.
Each flask is individually calibrated to-contain (`In´) at a reference temperature of 20 °C, individually ring-marked for accuracy, imprinted with a lot number, and shipped with a lot certificate. The high-contrast ring-mark ensures an accurate reading of the meniscus.
