Brandtech Announces New VITLAB® Light-Shielding Volumetric Flasks

VITLAB® light-shielding volumetric flasks from BrandTech Scientific provide light protection superior to amber glass. They are made of a specially pigmented polymethyl pentene (PMP) plastic that provides excellent absorption of light.

VITLAB® flasks have absorption in the UV range – below 280nm and the upper visible range above 580nm— but provide sufficient translucency to verify contents and volume, in most applications superior to amber glass. They also provide a sunlight protection factor of nearly 20. Flasks are light weight and break resistant, and provide a cost-effective alternative to glass. Screw-on caps help protect flask contents better than traditional stoppers.

Flasks are available in sizes from 10mL to 1000mL. All volumes are Class A per DIN EN ISO 1042.
