Polypropylene Pitcher United Scientific 2000ml 50ml Graduations

Description

Product Overview

The United Scientific polypropylene pitcher is engineered for reliability and precision in demanding laboratory, culinary, and educational environments. Constructed from laboratory‑grade polypropylene, the vessel offers exceptional chemical resistance and can withstand repeated sterilization cycles without warping or cracking. With a generous 2000 ml (2 L) capacity, the pitcher accommodates large volumes of liquids while maintaining a compact footprint that fits comfortably on standard bench tops. The clear, raised graduations are spaced at 50 ml intervals, providing quick visual reference for accurate measurement without the need for auxiliary tools. A tapered pour spout minimizes splashing and enables controlled dispensing, even when handling viscous solutions or hot liquids. The pitcher’s design incorporates a reinforced handle that distributes weight evenly, reducing hand fatigue during extended use. Heat resistance up to 121 °C allows the pitcher to be used in autoclave cycles and hot‑water baths, expanding its utility across a range of protocols. The lightweight nature of polypropylene, combined with its durability, makes this pitcher an ideal choice for repeated daily use in labs, kitchens, and classrooms.

Usage

In a research laboratory, the pitcher serves as a versatile vessel for preparing buffers, diluting reagents, and transferring samples between containers. Its graduated scale simplifies the preparation of precise concentrations, while the heat‑resistant material ensures safety when working with heated solutions. In culinary settings, chefs appreciate the pitcher’s clear markings for measuring ingredients, and the tapered spout facilitates smooth pouring of sauces, dressings, and batters. The pitcher’s resistance to acids, bases, and organic solvents means it can handle a wide variety of food‑grade substances without leaching or degradation. In educational environments, the pitcher provides a hands‑on teaching tool for students learning basic volumetric techniques, demonstrating the principles of measurement, transfer, and material compatibility. Its transparent body allows learners to observe liquid levels directly, reinforcing concepts of volume and precision. Across all these scenarios, the pitcher’s ergonomic handle and balanced weight distribution support comfortable operation, even when filled to capacity.

FAQ

What chemicals can the pitcher safely hold?

The polypropylene material is resistant to a broad range of acids, bases, and organic solvents commonly used in laboratory and food‑service settings. It is not recommended for strong oxidizing agents such as concentrated hydrogen peroxide or peracids, which may degrade the plastic over time.

Can the pitcher be autoclaved?

Yes, the pitcher is rated for heat resistance up to 121 °C, allowing it to be placed in an autoclave for standard sterilization cycles. After autoclaving, allow the pitcher to cool gradually to avoid thermal shock.

How do I clean and maintain the graduations?

Rinse the pitcher with warm water immediately after use to prevent residue buildup. For stubborn stains, a mild detergent or laboratory‑grade cleaning solution can be used. Avoid abrasive scrubbers that could scratch the raised graduations, as this would affect readability.

Is the pitcher suitable for food‑grade applications?

Yes, the polypropylene used meets food‑contact standards, making the pitcher appropriate for culinary tasks such as measuring ingredients, mixing sauces, and serving beverages. Ensure the pitcher is thoroughly rinsed between food‑related uses to maintain hygiene.

What is the warranty coverage?

United Scientific provides a one‑year limited warranty covering manufacturing defects. If the pitcher exhibits any issues related to material integrity or graduation accuracy within this period, contact customer service for a replacement or repair.
