Description
Thermo Scientific Nalgene Rapid-Flow Filter Storage Bottle – 150 mL, 45 mm Neck, Sterile, Low-Extractable Polystyrene, Leakproof Cap (MPN: 455-0150)
The Thermo Scientific Nalgene 455-0150 is an instrument-grade, sterile fluidic storage bottle engineered for the aseptic containment, transport, and archiving of filtered cell culture media, serum, buffers, and biological reagents. Cut to a 150 mL processing capacity with a standardized 45 mm neck diameter, this receiver bottle interfaces seamlessly with bottle-top filtration funnel matrices. Injection-molded from high-purity, optically clear polystyrene (PS), the vessel features a specialized thread profile paired with a high-density polyethylene (HDPE) linerless screw cap. This mechanical pairing forms a certified leakproof seal without the use of chemical seals, preserving sample integrity against external microbial contamination, ambient evaporation, and pH drift.
Technical Performance and Design
-
Optically Clear Polystyrene Core: Fabricated from high-purity, medical-grade polystyrene. This radiation-sterilized substrate provides crisp, glass-like optical clarity for effortless visual monitoring of sample volumes, color changes, or precipitate formation while maintaining a highly hydrophobic internal profile.
-
Certified Leakproof Cap Architecture: Outfitted with an ergonomically designed, white HDPE linerless screw closure. The integrated sealing ring mates flush against the bottle neck’s land area, forming a continuous mechanical seal that prevents fluid loss or ambient gas transmission during storage.
-
Universal 45 mm Neck Threading: Features a standardized 45 mm neck opening. This geometry allows the bottle to serve as a direct receiver vessel for major vacuum-driven bottle-top filters, eliminating intermediate tube transfers and cross-contamination risks.
-
Radiation-Sterilized Bio-Security: Sterilized via high-dosage Gamma Irradiation to satisfy a strict Sterility Assurance Level (SAL) of 10⁻⁶. Every bottle is non-pyrogenic, non-cytotoxic, and packed to preserve strict cleanroom integrity.

Key Benefits and Applications
-
Cell Culture Media Vaulting: The premier cleanroom standard for storing prepared growth media, fetal bovine serum (FBS), antibiotic supplements, and sterile downstream eluates.
-
Aseptic Aliquot Distribution: Allows technicians to cleanly break down bulk media lots into small, independent 150 mL working stocks under a laminar flow hood, minimizing risk to the parent batch.
-
Low-Extractable Structural Integrity: The specialized resin blend eliminates plasticizer leaching, protecting sensitive primary cell lines, stem cells, or hybridomas from chemical toxicity.
-
Stable Counterbalance Footprint: Molded with a wide, low-profile base that lowers the physical center of gravity, preventing unexpected tipping when paired with heavy vacuum-driven filter funnels.
