Are the extractables from Nalgene Rapid-Flow receiver bottles lower when compared to similar devices?

1 Sept 2021

Extractables are possible contaminants from plastic products that most commonly originate from the synthesis of the polymer, resin components, manufacturing process, or use of additives, which are necessary for the performance of the product.

In this application note, Thermo Fisher Scientific demonstrates that in three different extractable analyses, the Thermo Scientific ™ Nalgene ™ Rapid-Flow™ receiver bottles were lower in extractable content compared to three equivalent devices from different manufacturers.

UV-Visible SpectroscopyUltraviolet-visible (UV-Vis) spectrophotometers are used to measure the interaction of UV and visible light with a sample, including transmission, reflectance & absorbance. The two major instrument classes are single-beam or double-beam spectrophotometers. More specialized equipment includes colorimeters, spectroradiometers and refractometers. Portable and microvolume spectrophotometers are also available. For the modular spectroscopy lab, explore a range of light sources for combination with a spectrograph/spectrometer and optics.

Explore a range of filter formats, including filter paper, plates and membranes for your separation needs. While larger particulates may be separated by gravity filtration, smaller particulates may require additional force for timely separation. Microfiltration equipment includes vacuum filters, as well as positive pressure, crossflow and centrifugal filtration devices.
