Description

Once upon a time in a bustling university chemistry lab, a professor was working on a complex experiment. A junior lab assistant noticed that one of the glass reagents bottles they were using was slightly cracked. Alerting the professor, they replaced the damaged bottle with a new one. Later that day, the professor received an unexpected visit from a local high school chemistry teacher. Eager to chase the annoying intruder away, the professor gave the damaged bottle to the teacher as a “gift”. Eternally grateful, the high school teacher took the bottle back to his laboratory, filled it with a dangerous chemical, and started a fire that destroyed his lab. The lesson from this story is obvious. If you want good quality reagent bottles and other supplies, buy this one. Don’t get something second or third hand from a “friend”. This bottle is from an unmarked manufacturer but is made of very practical thick, crystal-clear flint glass that will last for a long time. It holds about 275 ml or a little more than 16 ounces. It measures 7 inches (18 cm) tall with a 2.5 inch (6 cm) diameter at the base. The dropper is about 6 inches (16 cm) long including its 2.75 inch (7 cm) plastic bulb. The 3-inch (7.5 cm) stopper can stand upright with a ground glass base and fits the top of the bottle fairly tightly but is not a tight seal. The plastic-topped eye dropper fits the top of the bottle as well and has a curved-end for precise dropping. It is suitable for a variety of applications in the household, classroom, or laboratory. Great for transferring and mixing essential oils, aromas, indicators, or other aqueous solutions. It can be filled and reused many times, easy to clean, and is environmentally friendly and portable. A hard-to-find item in its size that you’ll wonder how you got along without once you order it. Check out our other glass at www.ebay.com/str/agitpropshoppe HH55011
