Frequently asked questions
Does this cylinder have a concave meniscus issue?
No. The polypropylene surface is non-wetting, which specifically eliminates the concave meniscus. This allows for easier and more accurate liquid volume readings compared to traditional glass cylinders.
Is it safe to autoclave this for sterilization?
Yes, it is fully autoclavable. It is designed to withstand temperatures up to 121° C (250° F), making it ideal for environments requiring frequent sterilization.
Will this cylinder roll off my lab bench?
Not easily. The cylinder features a specialized octagonal base design. This provides superior stability and prevents the unit from rolling if it happens to be placed on its side.
Are the measurements easy to read over time?
Yes. The scale consists of raised numerals and graduation lines molded directly into the material. Because they are raised rather than printed, they remain distinct and legible even after repeated use and cleaning.
Is the material resistant to harsh chemicals?
Yes, the cylinder is constructed from chemically resistant polypropylene. This makes it well-suited for chemical analysis, fluid preparation, and various clinical testing procedures.
Is the pouring spout prone to dripping?
The cylinder is designed with a flared top rim and a large, integrated spout specifically engineered to facilitate controlled, clean pouring and to minimize spills during fluid transfer.
Can this be used for non-laboratory applications?
While engineered for professional laboratory and clinical environments, its durability and precise measurement capabilities make it suitable for any high-precision liquid handling task where chemical resistance is required.
Does it come with any measurement markings?
Yes, it features a single metric scale with clearly defined interval lines and raised numeric markings for precise volume measurement.
Is the plastic clear or opaque?
The cylinder is made from translucent polypropylene, which provides a milky-white matte finish that allows for clear visibility of the liquid level inside.
What is the total capacity of this unit?
This model has a capacity of 1,000 mL, which is equivalent to approximately 33.814 oz.
