GL 56 mouth and screw cap for safer handling

The wide mouth ensures safe and easy pipetting. The ergonomic cap is easy to open and close. Made from non-cytotoxic materials.

100 % bigger opening for easy pipetting

The GL 56 mouth is 100 % larger than the GL 45. It accommodates even large volume pipettes (100 ml ) and helps avoid contamination.

Low bottle height for easy handling in safety cabinets

The compact bottle is easy to put through the gap under the sash, and is easier to use inside the hood.

Space saving shape for fridge storage and water baths

The stable and space-saving 500 ml bottle is perfect for fridge storage, or for warming media in a water bath.

45º TILT position for pipetting without holding the bottle

Tilt the bottle to its 45° position for pipetting instead of holding it in your hand.

Tilted volume indicators for convenience

The clear markings show the volume in both tilted and upright positions and are visible from both sides, for the convenience of left and right-handed users.

Vacuum resistant bottle for safe filter sterilization

The bottle is vacuum resistant and may be safely used for the filter sterilization of media.

Borosilicate 3.3 glass for reusability and lower whole life costs

DURAN® borosilicate 3.3 glass is a tried and trusted material certified as non-cytotoxic (according to ISO 10993-5:2009). DURAN® glass does not leach any organic molecules that might affect the culturing of cells. In addition, DURAN® glass may be depyrogenated to destroy endotoxins using dry heat or chemical based methods.

OPTIMIZE YOUR WORKFLOW BY TILT ING

FILTERING

In the upright position, the DURAN® TILT bottle system is ideal for filter sterilizing or clarifying cell culture media. Low bottle height is practical in the biosafety cabinet. DURAN® GL 45 thread adaptor allows any 45 mm filter units to be used with DURAN® TILT bottle.

PIPETTING

In the 45° tilted position, the DURAN® TILT bottle makes pipetting of media easier under the hood. The innovative design enables both good aseptic and ergonomic practice.

DURAN® bottle top vacuum filtration units

Designed for sterilization or clarification of aqueous cell culture media. Supplied as a filter funnel only unit for use with the DURAN® TILT bottle (with GL 45 thread adaptor) or 45 mm media bottles. Comes in three different asymmetric pore sizes (0.1 μm, 0.2 μm, or 0.45 μm). Raised molded graduation marks for easy volume reading. Manufactured in a Class 100,000 clean room from Class VI, non-cytotoxic materials. Supplied sterile.

DURAN® GL 45 thread adaptor (re-usable)

The re-usable adaptor (GL 45 external / GL 56 internal) allows the use of the DURAN® TILT bottle with 45 mm filtration units for the filter sterilization of cell culture media. Manufactured from inert PTFE; can be autoclaved and depyrogenated at 300 °C.

DURAN® TILT GL 56 cap labels

Careful labeling is very important to prevent mix-ups and mistakes. The GL 56 self-adhesive cap labels can be used to clearly indicate the separate bottles of media for each cell line, preventing possible cross-contamination.

DURAN® GL 56 Bottle Tags

The Bottle Tags can be used on their own for color identification or to secure the protective Light Shield around the bottle. The GL 56 Bottle Tags are available in four colors (orange, yellow, blue and purple).

DURAN® TILT protective Light Shield

The DURAN® TILT Light Shield is a white silicone sleeve that covers 94% of the bottle surface. The sleeve has a number of protective functions: it blocks damaging ultraviolet (UV) light, protects the glass surface from damage, and facilitates safer handling. Silicone provides a much better grip than glass; especially when the bottle has been sprayed with 70% alcohol for surface disinfection.
