Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is the purpose of an acid cap bottle?
DWK Duran acid cap bottles are specifically designed to safely store concentrated acids. The specialized cap and stopper system helps contain corrosive fumes and prevents accidental spills.
2. Why is amber glass used for some reagent bottles?
Amber glass filters out ultraviolet (UV) and infrared radiation, which is essential for storing chemicals that are light-sensitive and would otherwise decompose or react when exposed to light.
3. What does "NS" stand for in relation to stoppers?
"NS" refers to Normal Ground (Normschliff), a standardized taper used for ground glass joints. This ensures that DWK Duran stoppers and bottles provide a perfectly matched, airtight seal.
4. Are these bottles suitable for storing bases as well as acids?
Yes, the high-quality borosilicate glass from DWK Duran provides excellent resistance to both acids and alkalis, though extremely strong bases may eventually etch the glass over very long periods.
