Weighing Bottle

Weighing Bottle – Laboratory Sample Weighing Vessel

The Weighing Bottle is a laboratory vessel used for weighing, transferring, drying, and storing small quantities of solid or other suitable laboratory samples. Supplied by Elmo Agencies, a trusted scientific manufacturer in Ambala, it is commonly used in analytical chemistry, gravimetric analysis, and laboratory sample preparation.

A Weighing Bottle is designed to provide a suitable container for obtaining the mass of a sample accurately. Its compact form and closable design help reduce contamination and, where applicable, minimize exposure of the sample to moisture or the surrounding atmosphere during handling.

It is particularly useful when a sample needs to be weighed before being transferred to another laboratory vessel or dried to a specified condition.

Applications

• Weighing solid chemical samples
• Gravimetric analysis
• Sample preparation
• Drying suitable substances
• Transferring measured samples
• Analytical chemistry experiments
• Laboratory quality-control procedures

How It Is Used

A clean, dry weighing bottle is first weighed, either empty or according to the laboratory’s prescribed weighing method. The sample is then added carefully, and the bottle is weighed again.

The difference between the relevant measurements can be used to determine the mass of the sample.

For moisture-sensitive or hygroscopic materials, the bottle can be closed promptly to reduce unnecessary exposure to atmospheric moisture.

Key Features

• Compact laboratory sample container
• Suitable for accurate sample weighing
• Usually supplied with a fitted lid or stopper
• Helps protect samples during handling
• Useful for analytical and gravimetric work
• Suitable for laboratory drying when material specifications permit

Important Considerations

The weighing bottle should be clean and completely dry before use when the procedure requires accurate mass measurement. Avoid touching the bottle directly with bare hands during analytical weighing, as fingerprints or moisture can affect the measured mass. The material and temperature rating should also be checked before using the bottle for heating or drying.

Conclusion

The Weighing Bottle by Elmo Agencies is a practical laboratory vessel for accurate sample weighing, drying, transfer, and analytical chemistry procedures. Its closable design makes it particularly useful when samples need protection from contamination or moisture during laboratory handling.
