The manufacturer-supplied product-add record provides the black phenolic cap description, country of origin, stock classification, and room-temperature logistics information. These additional fields are supplier records, not separate finished-product certifications.
Convenience pack with caps attached: purchasing and handling implications
DWK's convenience-pack designation means the matching initial caps are supplied already installed on the bottles. The cap is a removable screw-thread closure; "caps attached" should not be interpreted as a permanently tethered cap.
The factory-selected closure simplifies initial procurement because the buyer does not need to identify and purchase a separate initial cap. Nevertheless, the container should be inspected and prepared according to the laboratory's sampling or storage procedure before use.
- Bottle Included: Yes.
- Cap Included: Yes, already attached.
- Liner Included: Yes, PTFE-faced LDPE foam.
- Manufacturer Quantity: 24 assemblies.
- Additional Initial Cap Purchase: Not required for the supplied configuration.
- Replacement Cap: Must be independently selected for the required thread finish and liner properties.
- Supplied Sterile or Pre-Cleaned: No such designation established by the reviewed product record.
Important distinction: Convenience packaging does not mean sterile-barrier packaging, verified analytical cleanliness, a tamper-evident seal, or certified leakproof closure integrity. These require application-specific evidence.
French square geometry: useful handling and storage features
The French square profile is designed to use laboratory shelf space efficiently. Its flatter body surfaces can also assist with orderly sample positioning and application of appropriately selected labels.
The bottle has a wide mouth, making it convenient to add or remove compatible samples using laboratory spoons, spatulas, pipettes, or pouring methods as applicable. The clear glass supports visual inspection of contents and sample appearance.
- French Square Body: Space-efficient alternative to many round containers.
- Wide Mouth: Facilitates addition and removal of liquid and solid samples.
- Clear Walls: Provide visual observation of the contents.
- Manufacturer Diameter: 45 mm as labeled in the product specification.
- Manufacturer Height: 111 mm as labeled in the product specification.
- Rack or Tray Fit: Requires confirmation of actual clearance and support for the bottle geometry.
Although the manufacturer labels the 45 mm dimension as diameter, the body has a square profile. Do not reinterpret this value as a verified internal mouth diameter, diagonal dimension, or certified rack-clearance envelope.
Soda-lime glass: USP Type III and ASTM E438 Type II
DWK specifies that the clear French square bottle family is manufactured from soda-lime glass conforming to USP Type III and ASTM E438 Type II glass requirements. The two type numbers refer to different standards and are not contradictory.
DWK's material reference distinguishes soda-lime glass from borosilicate glass 3.3. Soda-lime glass is commonly suitable for general sample storage and many dry-material applications. It does not have the same chemical and thermal durability characteristics as borosilicate glass.
| Classification |
5610433V-26 |
What it means |
| Glass family | Soda-lime | Glass composition category |
| USP | Type III | Pharmacopeial glass material classification |
| ASTM E438 | Type II | Glass material designation under a separate standard |
| Borosilicate 3.3 | Not the specified glass | Different chemical and thermal behavior |
| Calibrated volume | Not specified | 125 mL is nominal container capacity |
Material control: Do not describe this bottle as USP Type I, ASTM E438 Type I Class A, or borosilicate 3.3. Do not assign autoclaving or thermal-shock ratings to the finished bottle based on general properties of another glass composition.
DWK Glass Types & Properties Technical Guide
33-400 thread finish: closure fit and replacement selection
The bottle is specified with a 33-400 screw-thread finish. This designation must be matched to the replacement closure selected for the bottle. Similar nominal cap diameters can have different thread forms or sealing arrangements.
The included manufacturer-selected cap is intended for the supplied bottle. If a replacement cap is required, verify both the 33-400 finish and the desired liner materials.
- Bottle Thread Finish: 33-400.
- Initial Cap: Included and attached.
- Cap Body: Black phenolic per supplier item setup.
- Specified Liner: PTFE-faced LDPE foam.
- Closure Fit: Requires compatible threads, container rim, and correct liner compression.
- Application Torque: No specific value identified for this SKU.
- Alternative Cap: Must be qualified for the actual sample and closure requirements.
Selection checkpoint: Do not substitute a 33-430 or other thread finish solely because the first number resembles the intended cap size. The complete neck finish and liner requirements must match.
PTFE-faced LDPE foam liner: construction and sealing principle
The cap liner consists of a PTFE sample-facing surface supported by a low-density polyethylene foam backing. The fluoropolymer facing is chosen for broad chemical resistance, while the foam provides compressibility that helps the liner conform to a properly matched bottle rim.
DWK's manufacturer closure-liner guide describes PTFE-faced foamed polyethylene as a system combining the chemical resistance of PTFE with the sealing characteristics of polyethylene foam. It recommends application testing because performance varies with chemical exposure, closure fit, and operating conditions.
- PTFE: Primary sample-facing liner material.
- LDPE Foam: Compressible backing layer.
- Phenolic: Structural cap body per supplier item-setup description.
- Sealing: Depends on the cap, foam compression, and glass sealing rim.
- Facing Thickness: No SKU-specific value published.
- Foam Density and Thickness: No SKU-specific values published.
- Extractables: No SKU-specific quantitative limit published.
- Closure Integrity: Requires qualification for the actual application.
Material distinction: A PTFE-faced LDPE foam liner is not solid PTFE, PTFE-faced rubber, a bare polyethylene disc, or a polyethylene cone. These materials and geometries are not automatically interchangeable.
DWK Closure Liner Guide
Chemical compatibility: evaluate the complete sample-contact assembly
The chemical suitability of a laboratory bottle depends on all parts exposed to the sample and its vapors. The glass body, closure liner, foam backing, and cap can have different resistance and temperature characteristics.
PTFE provides broad resistance to many laboratory chemicals, but the attached bottle system contains other materials. It is therefore important to evaluate the actual sample, concentration, duration of exposure, temperature, cleaning procedures, and required analytical sensitivity.
- Soda-Lime Glass: Evaluate against sample chemistry and exposure duration.
- PTFE Facing: Broad general chemical resistance at the liner interface.
- LDPE Foam: Separate limitations from the PTFE facing.
- Phenolic Cap: Evaluate splashes, solvent vapor, and cleaning-agent contact.
- Sample Temperature: Confirm compatibility at the actual operating condition.
- Storage Duration: Long-term exposure may require testing beyond short-term handling.
- Volatile Samples: May require closure-integrity and analyte-retention qualification.
- Trace Analysis: Use method-specific cleanliness, blank, and interference controls where relevant.
Chemical compatibility rule: Do not advertise the complete bottle as universally acid resistant, solvent proof, leakproof, or suitable for every high-purity chemical based only on the properties of its PTFE-facing layer.
125 mL alternatives: pulp/vinyl versus polyethylene cone versus PTFE-faced foam
DWK offers the 125 mL clear French square bottle in convenience packs with different liner configurations. Each retains the 33-400 thread finish and 24-unit case quantity, but the sealing design and sample-contact materials differ.
| Manufacturer SKU |

- Pulp/Vinyl: Different backing and surface materials, with separate barrier and chemical properties.
- Polyethylene Cone: A molded sealing geometry that contacts the rim and part of the inside neck.
- PTFE-Faced LDPE Foam: A flat liner design combining a PTFE-facing surface with a compressible polyethylene foam backing.
Substitution rule: Having the same bottle capacity and thread finish does not make alternative liners chemically or mechanically equivalent. Select the exact liner system required by the sample and the laboratory method.
125 mL nominal capacity versus working fill volume
DWK lists the bottle's nominal capacity as 125 mL (4 oz). This is a commercial size designation. The reviewed manufacturer record does not publish a calibrated volumetric tolerance, certified brimful capacity, or required working fill level.
The laboratory's actual working fill will depend on the type of contents, necessary headspace, mixing or handling conditions, sample stability, and any applicable analytical method.
- Nominal Capacity: 125 mL.
- Commercial Capacity: 4 oz.
- Brimful Volume: Not specified.
- Working Fill: Method dependent.
- Calibrated Volume Tolerance: Not established.
- Headspace: Follow sample and handling requirements.
- Accurate Measurement: Use a suitable measuring instrument when exact fill volume is required.
Volume boundary: This is a sample container, not a certified Class A volumetric measuring vessel. The 125 mL size should not be used as a substitute for a calibrated pipette, flask, or cylinder.
Clear glass visibility and light-sensitive samples
The clear body makes it possible to view contents and observe visible sample changes without opening the container. This can be useful for ordinary sample organization, inspection, and storage.
However, clear glass should not automatically be considered suitable for light-sensitive materials. The manufacturer does not specify a product-specific UV-protection level or spectral transmission rating for 5610433V-26.
- Bottle Color: Clear.
- Visual Inspection: Supported by transparent walls.
- UV Protection: No specific rating established.
- Light-Sensitive Samples: Use an appropriately selected light-protective container or validated secondary storage method when needed.
Autoclaving, heating, and complete-assembly limitations
The reviewed 5610433V-26 product specification does not publish a validated autoclave cycle or maximum operating temperature. The bottle contains soda-lime glass, while the closure contains a PTFE-faced polyethylene foam liner and a supplier-identified phenolic cap.
Because the assembly combines materials with different thermal characteristics, a processing recommendation for another glass bottle or another cap family must not be transferred to this SKU without confirmation.
- Glass: Soda-lime, not borosilicate 3.3.
- Cap: Black phenolic per supplier item setup.
- Liner: PTFE-faced LDPE foam.
- Autoclave Cycle: Not validated in the reviewed assembled-product record.
- Maximum Assembly Temperature: Not published.
- Thermal Shock: No finished-bottle rating published.
- Closed-Vessel Heating: Requires pressure safety review.
- Other Processing: Must be evaluated for the entire assembly and its intended contents.
Thermal safety: Do not assume the capped bottle is autoclavable. Obtain product-specific confirmation and use an approved laboratory procedure. Never heat a tightly sealed container in a manner that could create hazardous pressure.
Sterility, analytical cleanliness, and regulated applications
The manufacturer lists 5610433V-26 as a general laboratory bottle-and-cap convenience pack. The reviewed product information does not establish supplied sterility, validated depyrogenation, controlled particulate levels, or individually certified analytical cleanliness.
The glass classification and liner material should not be interpreted as finished-product approval for pharmaceutical filling, aseptic compounding, diagnostic specimen transport, or every analytical sampling method.
- Supplied Sterility: Not established.
- Sterility Assurance Level: Not specified.
- Endotoxin Limit: Not specified.
- Particulate Cleanliness: No finished-product limit specified.
- ISO Cleanroom Classification: Not specified.
- Extractables and Leachables: No SKU-specific study results included in the listing.
- Container Closure Integrity: Not universally established.
- Regulated Methods: Require application-specific qualification and documentation.
Qualification boundary: Do not advertise this SKU as supplied sterile, pharmaceutical ready-to-use, certified cleanroom packaged, or pre-cleaned for trace analysis unless the manufacturer provides current documentation for those claims.
Room-temperature shipping and storage: what the supplier classification means
The DWK supplier item-setup information classifies the empty 5610433V-26 product for room-temperature shipping and storage. It does not identify refrigeration, freezing, or dry-ice requirements for the unused manufacturer-supplied bottles.
These classifications address supplier logistics for the unfilled product. They do not establish that a sample placed into the bottle is stable at room temperature or that every reagent can be stored under identical conditions.
- Empty-Bottle Shipping: Room temperature per supplier record.
- Empty-Bottle Storage: Room temperature per supplier record.
- Refrigeration Requirement: None listed for the empty supplied product.
- Shelf Life: No defined finished-product expiration provided in supplier record.
- Filled-Sample Storage: Determined by the sample and laboratory method.
- Transport With Contents: Requires separate packaging, chemical, and regulatory review as applicable.
Storage distinction: Room-temperature shipping of an empty container does not qualify a filled specimen for room-temperature preservation, refrigerated storage, freezing, or shipment as a hazardous or diagnostic material.
PTFE-faced LDPE foam French square bottle family: size comparison
DWK supplies this closure-liner configuration in several French square bottle capacities. The dimensions and thread finish change with the bottle size, so caps should not be assumed to interchange across the family.
