Amber Dropping Bottle

Product Code : SLE/GBO/08

The Amber Dropping Bottle (Product Code: SLE/GBO/08) is a brown-tinted glass bottle with a screw cap and glass dropper, intended for reagents that lose strength when exposed to light. The amber glass cuts down the light, particularly ultraviolet, that reaches the solution, so laboratories rely on it for photosensitive stains, indicators and test reagents that must be dispensed in drops. Made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, it is a routine piece of chemistry lab glassware in India for schools, colleges and testing laboratories.

Typical Use

Silver nitrate solution for chloride tests, iodine solution for starch tests and many biological stains darken or decompose when left in daylight, so they are normally kept in amber bottles. With a dropper built into the cap, the reagent is dispensed straight from its protective container onto a slide, into a test tube or onto a spot plate, and the bottle is closed again within seconds. The 30 ml and 60 ml sizes are convenient for individual student benches; the 120 ml and 250 ml sizes suit a teacher’s demonstration table or the preparation room.

Because the brown glass makes the contents harder to see, hold the bottle up to a light source to check the level, and label each one clearly with the reagent name and date — colour alone will not identify the contents. Amber glass reduces light exposure but does not eliminate it, so store the bottles in a cupboard away from direct sunlight. Schools buying from a single lab glassware supplier in India often order the clear and amber versions together so that every reagent has a suitable bottle.

Frequently Asked Questions

What sizes are available?
30 ml, 60 ml, 120 ml and 250 ml. Smaller sizes suit student benches; larger ones suit shared or preparation-room use.

How is this different from the clear Dropping Bottles?
Both have a screw cap with glass dropper and the same capacities. The amber glass reduces the light reaching the solution; the clear bottle is better when you need to watch the colour or level of the reagent.

Which reagents should go in an amber bottle?
Any solution that is affected by light, such as silver nitrate, iodine solutions and certain stains. For aggressive solvents, ask us to confirm that the cap and dropper suit the chemical.

How can I check how much reagent is left?
Hold the bottle against a window or lamp; the level shows through the tinted glass. Checking before each practical avoids running out mid-session.

Can I order spare droppers or caps?
Availability of spares is confirmed at the time of enquiry. Please list the size and number of spares needed when you contact us.

Can you supply large quantities or export orders?
Yes. We quote for school, college and laboratory orders in India and international markets; include sizes, quantities and destination in your request.
