Plastic Sample Bottles
Plastic Sample Bottles for Oil & Fluid Sampling
Plastic sample bottles provide a practical option for collecting and transporting oil, fuel, coolant and other fluid samples. Choose from HDPE, PETG, polypropylene and marked Kautex bottles in a range of capacities and configurations.
Material
HDPE Sample Bottles
HDPE bottles for routine oil, fuel and fluid sample collection, available in a range of sizes for different sampling requirements.
Material
PETG Clear Bottles
Clear PETG sample bottles for applications where the appearance and condition of the collected fluid need to be easily viewed.
Marked Bottles
Kautex Marked Bottles
Marked Kautex bottles for applications where graduated volume markings are useful when collecting and handling fluid samples.
Glass Sample Bottles
Glass Sample Bottles for Fluid Sampling
Glass sample bottles provide an alternative to plastic containers where a chemically resistant and highly unreactive sample vessel is preferred. Glass has a low tendency to react with or interact with many substances, making it suitable for applications where the container material needs to have minimal influence on the sample.
Glass containers can be used for collecting, handling and transporting a range of fluid samples. The choice of bottle should take account of the fluid being sampled, the required sample volume and the conditions under which the sample will be stored or transported.
Amber glass bottles provide an additional benefit where samples may be affected by light. The darker amber glass helps reduce exposure to ultraviolet (UV) and other light wavelengths, helping to limit light-related changes or degradation of light-sensitive substances during storage and handling.
