Growth Promotion and Cytotoxicity Corning classical media products undergo a variety of tests to determine functionality and toxicity using growth-promotion analysis. Product performance is measured by harvest-to-plant ratios or fold increase according to predetermined specifications.

Physiochemical Properties Liquid and powder classical media products are tested to determine pH and osmolality. Classical media powders are also tested for residual moisture. The pH and osmolality tests are performed according to specific procedures in which all equipment is calibrated using standards traceable to the National Institute of Standards and Technology.

Biological Tests Quality release testing of Corning liquid classical media products assures low levels of endotoxin, mycoplasma, and an absence of contamination.

Endotoxin Classical media products are tested for bacterial endotoxin using the Limulus Amoebocyte Lysate (LAL) chromogenic assay. For release, each lot of standard liquid classical media must have an endotoxin level of <0.25 EU/mL. Classical media powder products must have an endotoxin level of <0.25 EU/mL when reconstituted to formula weight with low endotoxin water.

Sterility All Corning liquid classical media products are tested for sterility.

Mycoplasma Liquid classical media products are tested for mycoplasma using a large-volume method.

Ideal for the preparation of reagents, rinsing glassware or plasticware, and other molecular biology or cell culture applications, Corning® water can save the expense of installing and maintaining your own water system, while ensuring you have a secondary source of water that meets your specifications.

Corning water is available in a variety of sizes, and tested to specifications which may include USP and/or EP monograph requirements.

Beaker, with spout, manufactured with uniform wall thickness, offers optimum balance between thermal shock resistance and mechanical strength. For convenience, the 250 through 4000 mL beakers have a double graduated metric scale to indicate approximate content. All sizes have an extra large marking spot. The 10 mL size is not graduated.

Product Description

Component Materials:

Type I Class A – Low-Expansion Borosilicate Glass, per ASTM E438 (Standard Specification for Glasses in Laboratory Apparatus)

Attributes:

Product Dimensions – 270 mm Flange OD x 107 mm High

Autoclaving:

This product will withstand repeated standard autoclave cycles of 121°C at 15 psi for 15 minutes. Due to the thick
walls on this product, it is CRITICAL that the heating and cooling cycles bel slow and even.

Heating/Cooling:

This product should NOT be heated while being used in a vacuum or pressure application as the combination of
thermal and mechanical stresses could cause a failure.

Vacuum/Pressure:

This product is designed for full vacuum of 760 mm Mercury (15 psi negative pressure).

This product is not designed for and is not rated for pressure applications.

Calibrated “To Contain.” A less costly cylinder, designed for those institutions performing many general laboratory procedures. No bumper guards supplied.

Capacity:10 mL, 25 mL, 50 mL, 100 mL, 250 mL, 500 mL, 1 L, 2 L

 

PYREX® flat bottom boiling flasks have long necks with tooled mouths and take a No. 2 rubber stopper. They are manufactured from No. 7740 borosilicate glass. Wall thicknesses are carefully controlled to provide the proper balance between thermal expansion and mechanical strength for greater shock resistance. Their excellent chemical durability results in contamination-free results and long life under the toughest lab conditions. The normal working temperature for PYREX® boiling flasks is 230°C.

These flasks, with tubulation, are blown in special molds, in shapes designed to give maximum mechanical strength. For convenience, the flasks are graduated to show approximate capacity. The neck finish affords an excellent fit for rubber stoppers. Tubulation O.D. on sizes up to 1000 mL is approximately 10 mm. Tubulation O.D. for 2000 mL, and 4000 mL is approximately 12.5 mm.

Approximate graduations are in durable white enamel. An extra large marking space is also provided. Heavy, durable top tooling.

A convenience pack containing one each of the most popular sizes of Cat. No. 4980 series flask. Designed for the low volume user, a case contains one each of five sizes: 50 mL, 125 mL, 250 mL, 500 mL, and 1L. Packaged in a partitioned carton for safe transit and storage.

Heavy duty bottle which can be used for storage as well as mixing and sampling. Includes linerless, one-piece autoclavable polypropylene plug seal cap with drip free pouring rings. Optional red PBT caps and red ETFE pouring rings are available for dry heat sterilization (180°C). Glass bead indicates full capacity line on 100 mL through 2L size. Bottles have permanent white enamel graduations and marking spots. Color-coded polypropylene caps are available in a choice of orange, green, purple, red, and light gray.

Caution: Bottles larger than 2L should NOT be used with bottle top filter units, or in other applications involving vacuum pressure, as breakage may occur. DO NOT have caps tightened immediately after autoclaving, as the vacuum resulting from cooling can cause breakage. A pouring ring is not included on 25 mL size. A vented cap is NOT recommended for use on the 5L and 10L 1395 series bottle.

Furnished with deep-form phenolic caps to facilitate handling and sealing after autoclaving. Caps are fabricated from a special formula resistant to the effects of temperature and steam in autoclaving. Caps are provided with a glued-in, white rubber liner. The white enamel marking spot gives an excellent surface for pencil notations. Pencil marks are easily erased.

PYREX® round bottom boiling flasks have short ring necks and take a No. 5 rubber stopper. These ring neck boiling flasks are precisely tooled for uniform stopper fit. These flasks are used in applications requiring rigid stoppering and as wash bottles in routine lab washing. They are manufactured from No. 7740 borosilicate glass. Wall thicknesses are carefully controlled to provide the proper balance between thermal expansion and mechanical strength for greater shock resistance. Their excellent chemical durability results in contamination-free results and long life under the toughest lab conditions. The normal working temperature for PYREX® boiling flasks is 230°C.

These test tubes are annealed, resistant to heat and chemically stable. Rims are fire-polished. The 25 mm diameter tubes do not have a marking spot.
