Kemmerer Acrylic Bottles

This series of Kemmerer bottles has no metal parts to contact your sample.

• All plastic construction
• Clear acrylic or opaque PVC bottle body
• PVC center shaft
• No metal parts to touch your sample
• Silicone seals for trace metal sampling
• Polyurethane seals for general sampling  
• Large range of sizes - 1.2 to 8.2 L

Delrin fasteners and an O ring replace the stainless steel garter spring in the All-Angle™ trip head. The bottle body can be either transparent acrylic, which allows you to view your sample before removal, or opaque PVC for greater durability. The all-plastic center tube is made of plastic CPVC with a plastic delrin nut on its bottom. For general sampling, choose bottles with blue polyurethane seals.
For trace metal sampling, choose bottles with silicone seals. (Polyurethane, although affordable and durable, is not suitable for trace metal sampling because it leaches mercury at the nanogram/liter level). The end seals mount like a tire on a hub and are easy to replace. The end seals should not be sealed, seated, or fully closed during storage. Although made of tough elastomers, they have a tendency to take a set during long periods of inactivity and stress. For this reason, store your Kemmerer with the seals slightly open and not touching the bottle body.
