Secure containment and sample integrity are vital for precise analytical results and long-term storage safety. Professional laboratory containers, ranging from robust jars to specialized sample vials, are engineered from high-performance polymers like PE-HD, polypropylene (PP), and polycarbonate (PC) to ensure maximum chemical resistance. As a core component of our vessels range within general laboratory consumables, these containers are foundational for secure material handling and organized laboratory workflows.
Why Choose Professional Laboratory Containers?
Our curated collection of high-quality vessels is designed for chemical inertness, leak-proof performance, and diverse storage needs:
- Durable PE-HD Jars: We stock Kartell Jars in multiple sizes (25 mL to 180 mL) made from high-density polyethylene, featuring secure screw caps for reliable powder and liquid storage.
- Specialized Sample Vials: Utilize VITLAB Sample Vials (50 mL, PP) with a conical design and snap-on lids for quick and secure access during routine testing.
- High-Clarity Storage: Explore Thermo Nalgene PC Jars (125 mL) offering excellent impact resistance and transparency for visual sample monitoring.
- Bulk Packaging Options: Find Thermo Scientific Jar SPP packs (250 mL, pack of 6) to ensure consistent containment across large experimental batches.
LabFriend supplies containers from industry-leading manufacturers specialized in professional laboratory plasticware and storage systems:

Frequently Asked Questions
1. What are the advantages 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.
2. Can polycarbonate jars be autoclaved?
Yes, 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 sterilization.
3. When should I 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.
4. Are these containers suitable 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).
