Bottles
Shapes and Materials for Every Application
Nalgene bottles are made from a wide variety of plastics to fit virtually any laboratory application. Choose from polypropylene copolymer (PPCO), low- and high-density polyethylene (LDPE, HDPE), polyethylene terephthalate (PETG or copolymer G), polycarbonate (PC) and fluoropolymer (FEP-PFA).
Narrow-Mouth Bottles
Nalgene narrow-mouth bottles provide more controlled pouring than wide-mouth versions. Choose narrow-mouth lab-quality bottles, large lab bottles, low-cost and lightweight economy bottles, and space-saving square options in PPCO, FEP and HDPE.
Wide-Mouth Bottles
The wide-mouth design of Nalgene laboratory bottles makes them easier to fill and use with solid, semi-solid and viscous liquid materials. Options include lab-quality bottles, economy bottles, and space-saving square and rectangular bottles in PMP, LDPE and HDPE.
Wash Bottles
Nalgene plastic wash bottles are sturdily constructed and are always straight-shooters. They are available in multiple resins and styles that include top-dispensing, safety-labeled or UnitaryTM wash bottles that feature a unique vent system that won’t drip.
Dropper Bottles
Nalgene dropper bottles are available in a variety of volumes and formats. Dropper bottles with colored screw caps provide controlled, measured drop-wise dispensing, and bottles with tethered caps are our most popular. We also offer bottles with our bulb-transfer pipette-style cap assembly forfaster dispensing or to access harder-to-reach places. For an autoclavable dropper bottle, choose PPCO or opt for a fluoropolymer (FEP) with a captive spout cap for dispensing more aggressive chemicals or high-purity reagents.
General Plasticware
Durable, Affordable Labware
Substitute Nalgene plastic labware for glass when mixing or manipulating to reduce the likelihood of breakage and keep users safer.
Beakers, Burets and Cylinders
Nalgene beakers are available in Griffin low-form style or with convenient handles and are made with a variety of resins. The plastic burets meet Class B (ASTM E287) accuracy, and liquids measured in Nalgene burets or cylinders don't form a meniscus, which makes reading them easier.
Desiccators
Nalgene desiccators are lighter and easier to move around the lab. They can spare you from injury and may even save you up to 60% as compared to glass desiccators.
Flasks and Funnels
Nalgene Erlenmeyer flasks, funnels and separatory funnels easily replace their glass counterparts that chip and break. Volumetric flasks are individually hand calibrated, engraved and inked with a volume fill line to provide precision and Class B (ASTM E228/ISO 384) accuracy.
Tubing
Nalgene tubing comes in various formulations and sizes, including clear PVC tubing (including Tygon™ equivalents), food-grade tubing that complies with USP Class VI and USDA regulations, flexible braided tubing for higher-pressure applications, and other polyurethane, LDPE, PP, PFA and FEP tubing.
Carboys and Containers
Sizes and Styles for Every Lab
We offer a versatile selection of carboys and jugs made from virgin plastics with minimal additives in round, rectangular and lowboy shapes up to 50L in capacity. Choose between options with or without spigots and with molded or stainless-steel carry handles.
