Polypropylene beakers with glass lids designed to fit our perfectly. Ideal for a number of experimental techniques where enclosed volumes are required, including solvent vapour annealing and HMDS vapour phase treatments.

These are also great for minimising solvent use to reduce lab costs and environmental impact. Measuring 35 mm x 36 mm x 100 mm and 45 x 41 x 100mm respectively, they use between a half and a quarter of the solvent that a standard round beaker would.

The video below demonstrates the way in which our polypropylene beakers can be used during the process of cleaning ITO substrates in preparation for fabricating PV / LED devices.

As part of the cleaning routine, the substrates must be sonicated for 5 minutes whilst in isopropyl alcohol (IPA). The tight-fitting lid of the Polypropylene Beakers prevents the IPA from evaporating during this process. The beakers also help to minimise the amount of IPA required to completely cover the substrates (compared to using a standard glass beaker) thus resulting in less waste.
