Leak-Proof Polypropylene Containers Resistant to Chemicals and Temperature

By LabMedica International staff writers
Posted on 10 May 2012
Durable universal polypropylene containers provide leak-proof performance and greater temperature and chemical resistance in all types of laboratories. More...
The new containers are available in several varieties, including labeled, unlabeled, irradiated, and nonpyrogenic.

The Sterilin (Newport, UK) Quick Start containers are manufactured from clear polypropylene, which has greater temperature and chemical resistance than other materials such as polystyrene. This meets the needs of a wider range of laboratory applications, from healthcare to life science research.

Introduced by Thermo Fisher Scientific, Inc., the new containers have a Quick Start cap with a three-start thread, reducing the number of turns to open and close it. In an independent evaluation against similar products, the containers’ new multi-seal design provided good leak-free performance. Additionally, a lot number is printed on each container to aid traceability, and the containers are supplied in eight handy bags of 50.

“The Thermo Scientific Sterilin Quick Start 30-mL universal containers in clear polypropylene offer significant benefits to laboratories across all industries,” said Rachel Adams, marketing manager, Thermo Scientific Sterilin products. “These versatile products complement our standard polystyrene 30-mL universal containers, providing our customers with greater choice to suit both their everyday and more challenging needs.”
