This Wheaton cylindrical roller bottle has a borosilicate glass body, a black thermoset phenolic cap with shallow sides, and a white rubber liner. This roller bottle is commonly used on rollers for cell culture. The bottle's borosilicate glass body provides chemical, thermal expansion, shock, and heat resistance. Its cylindrical shape is used for a wide variety of applications that require fluid containment. It has a tapered shoulder for ease of cleaning and removal of cells. The black thermoset phenolic cap has shallow sides and secures contents to help prevent spills and evaporation. The cap's liner is made of white rubber (styrene-butadiene) for a seal, resistance to moisture, and low gas transmission. The roller bottle is autoclavable for applications that require sterilization. The borosilicate glass conforms to United States Pharmacopoeia (USP) Type I requirements and American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) E 438 Type I, Class A requirements. This bottle is suitable for cell culture and storage applications.

Lab bottles are used to store, hold, and mix liquids, powders, and other substances in a wide variety of scientific industries. Lab bottles have a more pronounced neck and shoulder than jars. Lab bottles are manufactured with a combination of characteristics in order to meet the demands of particular applications, such as for solution dispensing, mixing, and weighing, and use in centrifuge operations. They come in many shapes for specific applications, with a variety of mouth or nozzle shapes and sizes for specific use. Lab bottles are made from materials, such as glass (borosilicate or soda-lime) and an array of plastics, which are selected for chemical and thermal expansion resistance, transparency, and their adaptability in a variety of applications. Lab bottle interiors, caps, and lids are often lined with a protective material. Caps and lids help seal bottles to prevent solutions from spilling. The capacity refers to the fluid amount held by a lab bottle, and is commonly measured in milliliters (mL) and liters (l), and sometimes in ounces (oz). Lab bottles are suitable for use in chemistry and biology applications, as well as in pharmaceutical and scientific testing.
