Aspirator Bottles (Product Code: SLE/GBO/01) are polypropylene storage bottles fitted with a leakproof spigot, used for storing and dispensing water and laboratory solutions. Being polypropylene, they are much lighter than glass aspirators, and they are autoclavable, sturdy and dependable in daily use. Five capacities — 0.5, 1.5, 5, 10 and 20 litre — cover everything from a bench reagent to a central distilled-water reservoir. They are made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, for chemistry, biology and microbiology lab setups in India and international markets.

The larger sizes make a convenient distilled or deionised water reservoir on a side bench: students fill wash bottles or flasks from the spigot without lifting a heavy container. Smaller bottles hold buffers, dilute acids or bases and other working solutions at the point of use, while autoclaved bottles can keep sterile water or rinse solution ready for microbiology practicals. Because polypropylene is light and resists breakage, the bottles are also easier to move for cleaning and refilling than glass.
Before autoclaving, fully loosen the threads so that pressure can equalise and the bottle does not deform. Label each bottle with its contents and preparation date, and place it on a stable shelf edge or stand so a beaker or flask fits under the spigot.
The aspirator bottles are made by Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, an Ambala, Haryana company whose products carry the ScienceLab name, for storage and dispensing needs in teaching, testing and research labs. Read the company profile to find out more.

Which capacities are available?
0.5, 1.5, 5, 10 and 20 litre. State each size and quantity when you enquire.
Can the bottles be autoclaved?
Yes, they are autoclavable. Disengage the threads completely before autoclaving so the bottle is not sealed under pressure.
How does the spigot work?
The leakproof spigot is screwed to the bottle body and is simply turned to open or shut. For replacement spigots, please contact us.
Should I choose polypropylene or glass?
Polypropylene is much lighter and harder to break, which suits water and most aqueous solutions. For liquids that are not compatible with plastics, choose a borosilicate aspirator instead.
Can it store distilled water?
Yes — storing and dispensing water is one of its main purposes. Keep the bottle closed and clean it periodically to keep the water quality consistent.
Do you supply aspirators in bulk or for export?
Yes. We quote for schools, colleges, testing labs and distributors in India and international markets; include sizes, quantities and the delivery location.
