TriForest Labware uses multiple different resins for different laboratory applications. Polycarbonate is very resistant to high temperatures and pressure which makes them perfect for repeat autoclave sterilization. Due to the thicker internal walls found on the PC bottles and robust cap design this packaging solution differs from other PET and PETG packaging solutions as it will not rupture inside an autoclave.
Polycarbonate
TriForest polycarbonate (PC) labware is a safer alternative to glass. It is ideal for steam sterilization of all biologicals, liquids, reagents, media, buffers and aqueous solutions. Manufactured in a Class 10K cleanroom in an ISO 9001 compliant facility with virgin polycarbonate resin that is durable, chemically inert, non-leaching, and optically superior. Our square media bottles withstand repeated autoclaving, and are optimal for all microbial culture media production and preparation of terminally sterile fluid
PC is more “environmentally friendly” than other resins because it is able to sterilized and reused.
