Mini Soda Bottles—Giant Test Tubes
All plastic soda bottles start as a small plastic bottle known as a preform. When
the bottler is ready to fill the bottle with soda, the preform is heated and blown
into a larger bottle, such as a 2-liter soda bottle. These thick-walled, durable
polyethylene preforms are a great substitute for glass test tubes. Perfect for storing
liquids, gel crystals or mixtures to be used or displayed in your classroom
throughout the entire school year. In the biology laboratory, they are ideal for
growing or cloning plants, collecting water samples and displaying specimens.
Not for use with strong acids and bases or organics. Not autoclavable. 40-mL
capacity. Each preform measures approximately 12 cm long x 2.5 cm diameter. Caps
are available separately (AP6996), or provide your own from 2-liter soda bottles.
Packages of 30.
