EISCO Plastic Pitcher, 500mL – Molded Graduations – Chemical Resistant & Autoclavable Polypropylene – Measuring Jug

Description

Product Overview

The EISCO 500 mL Plastic Pitcher is engineered from premium‑grade polypropylene, a polymer renowned for its durability, chemical inertness, and ability to tolerate high temperatures. This material choice gives the pitcher a translucent appearance that allows users to see liquid levels at a glance while maintaining excellent optical clarity. The jug features molded graduations spaced at 10 mL intervals, each raised for tactile feedback, ensuring precise measurement even in fast‑paced laboratory environments. The graduated markings are permanently etched into the surface, preventing wear or fading over repeated use and cleaning cycles.

Designed with a tapered spout, the pitcher delivers a controlled, drip‑free pour, reducing waste and minimizing the risk of cross‑contamination. The ergonomic handle is molded for a comfortable grip, allowing easy lifting and transferring of liquids up to the full 500 mL capacity. The jug’s dimensions—5.4 × 3.4 × 4.9 inches—provide a compact footprint that fits comfortably on standard lab benches, safety cabinets, and even kitchen countertops. Weighing only 1.6 ounces, the pitcher is lightweight yet robust, making it ideal for both stationary and mobile applications.

Beyond its physical attributes, the EISCO pitcher meets stringent laboratory standards for chemical resistance. It can safely contain strong acids, bases, alcohols, and organic solvents without degrading, leaching, or compromising the integrity of the sample. The polypropylene construction also resists absorption, ensuring that no residual chemicals remain after cleaning, which is critical for maintaining sample purity in sequential experiments.

Thermal performance is another key advantage. The pitcher tolerates temperatures up to 135 °C, allowing it to be autoclaved for sterilization, placed in a microwave for rapid heating, or washed in a dishwasher without deformation or loss of accuracy. This versatility reduces the need for multiple containers, streamlining inventory and simplifying laboratory workflows.

Overall, the EISCO Plastic Pitcher combines visual clarity, precise measurement, ergonomic design, and robust chemical and thermal resistance, making it a reliable workhorse for any setting that demands accuracy and durability.

Usage

In professional laboratories, the pitcher is frequently used for preparing reagents, diluting stock solutions, and transferring liquids between containers. Its chemical‑resistant properties allow it to handle corrosive reagents such as hydrochloric acid, sodium hydroxide, and organic solvents without compromising the container or contaminating the sample. The clear body and precise graduations enable technicians to quickly verify volumes, reducing the time spent on measurement and minimizing the chance of human error.

Science educators appreciate the pitcher for its durability and safety. In classroom settings, students can practice measuring and mixing solutions without the risk of glass breakage. The jug’s ability to withstand autoclave cycles ensures that it can be sterilized between classes, maintaining a hygienic learning environment. Its lightweight design also makes it easy for younger students to handle, fostering confidence in hands‑on experiments.

For household applications, the pitcher serves as an excellent measuring jug for cooking, brewing, and DIY projects. Home chefs can rely on its accurate graduations for recipes that require precise liquid ratios, while hobbyists can use it to mix paints, adhesives, or cleaning solutions safely. The spout’s controlled flow prevents spills, and the handle provides a secure grip even when the jug is filled to capacity.

Because the pitcher is microwave‑safe, users can gently warm liquids directly in the container, a convenience often needed in both lab protocols and kitchen preparations. After use, the jug can be placed in a standard dishwasher, where its polypropylene material resists warping and retains its graduated markings for many cycles.

Overall, the EISCO pitcher adapts seamlessly to a wide range of environments—research labs, educational institutions, and everyday kitchens—delivering consistent performance wherever accurate liquid handling is required.
