Specifications

Typical Use

McCartney bottles are the everyday containers of a microbiology teaching or diagnostic lab. Molten agar can be dispensed into them and set at an angle to make slopes for maintaining pure cultures, broth can be stored ready for inoculation, and small water, milk or food samples can be collected and carried to the bench. The clear glass lets students see turbidity or colonies without opening the bottle, and the compact size keeps a large number of cultures in a small rack or refrigerator shelf. They are a routine item in any microbiology lab setup in India, from college practical classes to quality-control rooms.

Work near a flame or in a clean cabinet when opening the bottle, and flame the neck briefly before and after transfer. Screw caps are normally loosened slightly during sterilisation and tightened once the bottle has cooled; if you plan to sterilise filled bottles, confirm with us that the cap liner suits your cycle. Label each bottle with the organism or medium and the date.
