What are sampling bottles?
Sampling bottles are containers specifically designed for collecting, storing, and transporting liquid or solid samples for analysis. They are commonly used in environmental, industrial, and laboratory settings to ensure the sample's integrity and prevent contamination. Manufacturers make the bottles from various materials, such as glass or plastic, depending on the sample type and analysis requirements.
What bottles are used for water sampling?
Bottles used for water sampling maintain sample integrity and prevent contamination. Glass bottles are commonly used for chemical analysis, such as testing for organic compounds, because they are inert and resist reactions with the sample. Amber glass bottles are employed explicitly for light-sensitive analytes. Plastic bottles, typically made from high-density polyethylene (HDPE) or polypropylene, are lightweight and durable, making them suitable for general water testing, including nutrient or microbiological analysis.
