Description
Product Overview
Corning Pyrex has been a trusted name in laboratory glassware for decades, and the 6942-9L Borosilicate Glass 9.5L Reusable Plain Cylindrical Jar continues that legacy. Constructed from high‑grade borosilicate glass, this jar combines exceptional thermal resistance with chemical inertness, ensuring that it can withstand rapid temperature shifts and aggressive solvents without cracking or leaching. The jar holds a generous 9.5 L (approximately 2.5 gal) of material, making it suitable for bulk drying, solvent recovery, or sample storage. Its dimensions—11.2 × 11.2 × 10 inches—and a weight of 2.2 lb provide a stable footprint on laboratory benches while remaining easy to handle. The plain cylindrical shape is deliberately simple, allowing for uniform heating and cooling, and it fits comfortably into standard lab equipment such as drying ovens, autoclaves, and storage racks. The product is not discontinued, and it has been available since June 2007, reflecting its enduring popularity among researchers.
Usage
Designed for a wide range of laboratory environments, this jar excels in applications that demand reliable, reusable glass containers. In chemistry labs, it is frequently used for drying solid reagents, where its ability to tolerate high temperatures ensures rapid moisture removal without compromising the integrity of the glass. In biological research, the jar serves as a sterile storage vessel for culture media, thanks to its smooth interior that resists bacterial adhesion. The jar also performs well in industrial settings for solvent recovery, where its chemical resistance prevents degradation when exposed to aggressive organic compounds. Its size makes it ideal for batch processes, and the plain design allows for easy labeling and identification of contents. Whether placed in a drying oven, a refrigerated storage unit, or a fume hood, the jar maintains its performance, providing consistent results across diverse workflows.
