Bürkle Wide-Neck LDPE Bottles are flexible, durable laboratory and sample containers designed for convenient filling, dispensing, storage and transport of suitable liquids, powders, granules, pastes and viscous materials.
Made from low-density polyethylene (LDPE), these round, transparent bottles are easy to squeeze and comfortable to handle. Their large neck openings make it easier to add or remove material than a conventional narrow-neck bottle, particularly when working with powders, granules, pastes or viscous samples.
Each bottle includes a liquid-tight screw cap and is available in capacities from 50 mL to 2,000 mL. Bürkle identifies the LDPE material as food-safe, making the bottles useful across laboratories, food and beverage operations, pharmaceutical environments, chemical facilities, cosmetics manufacturing and general sample handling.

A wide-neck bottle is particularly useful when the sample or product is difficult to move through a conventional narrow bottle opening.
The larger opening makes it easier to:
For laboratories that repeatedly handle powders, food ingredients, granulated products or viscous samples, the wide opening can significantly simplify routine sample handling.
Low-density polyethylene (LDPE) is softer and more flexible than many rigid laboratory plastics. Bürkle specifically notes that these LDPE bottles are easy to squeeze and comfortable to handle.
That flexibility can be useful when controlled squeezing or easier manual handling is preferred over a rigid bottle.
LDPE is also widely used for laboratory, food, industrial and sample-container applications because of its light weight and broad utility.
LDPE is compatible with many laboratory and industrial materials, but compatibility depends on the exact chemical, concentration, temperature, exposure time and storage conditions. Confirm chemical compatibility before using the bottle with chemicals, solvents or aggressive media.
Each Bürkle wide-neck LDPE bottle is supplied with a screw cap designed to provide a liquid-tight closure.
This makes the bottle suitable for protected storage and transport of compatible contents when the cap is correctly installed.
Always confirm that the bottle material, cap, filling level and transportation conditions are appropriate for the material being handled.
Bürkle identifies the LDPE material used for this bottle family as food-safe, making these containers useful for suitable food and beverage sampling, ingredient handling and QA/QC applications.
Potential uses include:
Follow your facility's sanitation, sample-handling and food-contact requirements for the specific application.
The wide-neck design is useful in general laboratories, university research, industrial QA/QC and R&D environments where technicians need convenient access to powders, granules, liquids or viscous samples.
Typical uses may include:
Bürkle identifies chemical, pharmaceutical and cosmetic environments among the typical application areas for this bottle family.
The wide opening is especially useful for materials that are difficult to transfer through a small neck, including powders, granules, creams, pastes and suitable viscous formulations.
Chemical compatibility should always be confirmed for the exact formulation before use.
Bottle neck size increases as bottle capacity increases:
If you are selecting a bottle based on the size of a scoop, filling funnel or material being transferred, the inside neck diameter may be more important than total bottle capacity.
Bürkle also manufactures wide-neck bottles in polypropylene (PP). The best material depends on the application.
| Feature | LDPE | PP |
| Bottle Feel | More flexible and squeezable | Generally more rigid |
| Best Reason to Choose | Easy handling and flexible bottle walls | Applications where PP properties are preferred |
| Chemical Selection | Confirm compatibility for the exact chemical | Confirm compatibility for the exact chemical |
Do not select a bottle solely by plastic name when storing chemicals. Chemical compatibility, temperature and required method should all be considered.
Bürkle also offers selected wide-neck LDPE bottles in a brown version for light-sensitive contents.
Choose the standard transparent/colorless LDPE bottle when easy viewing of the contents is useful. Consider Bürkle's brown LDPE versions when the material requires additional protection from light.
They are designed for storing, handling and transporting suitable liquids, pastes, powders and granules. The wide opening is especially useful for materials that are difficult to fill or remove through a narrow-neck bottle.
Cambridge offers this Bürkle LDPE bottle family in 50, 100, 200, 250, 500, 750, 1,000, 1,500 and 2,000 mL capacities.
Bürkle identifies the LDPE material used for this bottle family as food-safe. Suitability for a particular food-processing or QA/QC procedure should still be confirmed against the requirements of that application.
Bürkle describes the bottles as having a liquid-tight screw cap for protected storage and transport. Proper closure and compatibility with the stored material are still required.
Yes. LDPE is relatively flexible, and Bürkle specifically describes these bottles as easy to squeeze and comfortable to handle.
The 1,000, 1,500 and 2,000 mL versions use a GL 65 thread and have an approximately 50 mm internal neck diameter.
The best capacity depends on the amount of material being stored, but neck diameter is also important. The larger 1,000–2,000 mL bottles provide a 50 mm internal neck opening, which can make filling and removing powders or granules easier.
Yes. Bürkle specifically identifies pastes and viscous media as applications where the wide neck can make filling, emptying and material removal easier.
LDPE is suitable for many chemicals, but compatibility is not universal. Confirm the exact chemical, concentration, temperature and expected exposure time before use.
Choose LDPE when a flexible, squeezable bottle is desirable. PP is more rigid and may be preferred for other applications. For chemical storage, material compatibility should be checked rather than choosing solely on flexibility.
Yes. Bürkle manufactures selected wide-neck bottle sizes in brown LDPE for contents that benefit from additional light protection.

If you are unsure which bottle to choose, tell us the material being stored, required volume, desired neck opening and application. We can help compare LDPE, PP, brown LDPE or other laboratory container options.
Capacity is only one part of the selection. Neck diameter, bottle material, chemical compatibility, flexibility and light protection can all affect which container is appropriate.
Send Cambridge your sample or material requirements and we can help match the appropriate Bürkle bottle or container.
