The Laboratory Storage Containers category brings together products designed to contain, transfer, mix, protect, label and store samples and reagents throughout everyday laboratory work. In a working laboratory, the category supports more than a single task because it connects preparation, handling, operation and routine maintenance around the same method.
Small differences in material, dimensions, cleanliness and closure design can affect compatibility, contamination risk and ease of handling. For dependable results, compare closure or connection, temperature and chemical compatibility, sterility or cleanliness, and material and confirm that the selected item is suitable for both the immediate task and the surrounding workflow.
Consumables work best when vessel material, capacity, closure, cleanliness and disposal or reuse requirements are selected as part of the complete method. This coordinated approach is particularly useful in research, clinical, education, industrial, food and quality-control laboratories, where repeatability and clear operating procedures matter. As part of the Laboratory Consumables & Glassware range, these products can be selected with the equipment and consumables used before and after this stage.
Our Laboratory Storage Containers range
Our collection covers these containers for long-term chemical storage, benefits of pe-hd for laboratory jars, autoclavable polycarbonate jars, and when to use a conical sample vial, giving laboratories practical choices for routine work and more specialised applications.
These containers for long-term chemical storage
While many of these containers from brands like Kartell and Hünersdorff are designed for chemical storage, compatibility should always be verified against the specific reagent and material (PP, PE-HD, or PC). Key differences are usually found in closure or connection, temperature and chemical compatibility, and sterility or cleanliness. These details affect day-to-day usability as much as the main performance specification. This is especially valuable when teams need to standardise routine bench work and reduce interruptions caused by mismatched everyday supplies. Consistent handling also reduces the risk of variation between batches or operators.
Benefits of PE-HD for laboratory jars
PE-HD (High-Density Polyethylene), used in Kartell jars, offers excellent chemical resistance, high impact strength, and is suitable for storing both liquids and solids safely. Before ordering, compare temperature and chemical compatibility, sterility or cleanliness, and material. A product that fits the complete workflow will generally be easier to validate, maintain and reorder. This is especially valuable when teams need to standardise routine bench work and reduce interruptions caused by mismatched everyday supplies. Consistent handling also reduces the risk of variation between batches or operators.
Autoclavable polycarbonate jars
Thermo Nalgene PC jars are typically autoclavable and offer high thermal resistance, but it is important to check the specific product's temperature rating before sterilisation. For routine and specialised work, assess sterility or cleanliness, material, and capacity and dimensions. Matching these points early helps avoid adapters, consumables or operating limitations being discovered after purchase. In practice, this supports efforts to standardise routine bench work and reduce interruptions caused by mismatched everyday supplies. It also gives staff a clearer and more repeatable procedure when multiple users or shifts share the same equipment.
When to use a conical sample vial
VITLAB conical vials are ideal for applications where total sample recovery is necessary or when using automated sample handling systems that require a specific base shape. Key differences are usually found in material, capacity and dimensions, and graduation or tolerance. These details affect day-to-day usability as much as the main performance specification. In practice, this supports efforts to standardise routine bench work and reduce interruptions caused by mismatched everyday supplies. It also gives staff a clearer and more repeatable procedure when multiple users or shifts share the same equipment.
