Bürkle Wide-Neck Polypropylene Bottles are durable, reusable laboratory and industrial containers designed for the storage, transport, filling and dispensing of liquids, powders, granules and pastes.
Manufactured from highly transparent polypropylene (PP), the bottles combine chemical resistance, impact resistance and autoclavability with a large opening that makes filling, removal, emptying and cleaning easier than with a narrow-neck bottle.
A liquid-tight screw cap helps provide secure storage and handling, while the smooth, round, undercut-free bottle design supports quick cleaning and reuse.
Available in 100 mL, 250 mL, 500 mL and 1000 mL capacities, the Bürkle 0319 series is particularly suited to laboratories, food and beverage production, pharmaceutical, chemical, cosmetic and industrial QA/QC applications.

The defining feature of the Bürkle 0319 series is its large bottle opening.
Compared with a narrow-neck bottle, the wide opening makes it easier to:
The opening increases with bottle capacity, ranging from 24 mm inside diameter on the 100 mL model to 50 mm on the 1 L bottle.
Bürkle specifically identifies these wide-neck bottles for a broader range of sample forms than conventional narrow-neck liquid bottles.
Suitable compatible materials may include:
The wide opening is particularly useful when the material would be difficult to pour through a small bottle neck.
Bürkle specifies the 0319 wide-neck PP bottle as autoclavable.
Polypropylene is commonly selected for reusable laboratory containers where heat resistance and sterilization capability are useful.
Bürkle specifically instructs users to unscrew the cap and place it on the bottle before autoclaving. Do not autoclave the bottle with the screw cap tightly closed. Follow your facility's validated sterilization procedure.
Each bottle is supplied with a liquid-tight screw closure.
Bürkle designed the closure to support leak-free and protected storage and transport of suitable contents.
This makes the bottle useful when samples or materials must be moved between laboratories, production areas or storage locations.
A liquid-tight laboratory bottle should not automatically be treated as approved dangerous-goods packaging. If a material is regulated for transport, use packaging specifically approved for that substance and transportation requirement.
Bürkle describes the polypropylene used for this bottle as having high transparency.
This allows the approximate contents and fill level to be visually checked without opening the bottle.
For materials that require protection from light, consider an opaque or light-protective container instead.
The bottle has a round, smooth and undercut-free design.
Bürkle specifically highlights this construction as making the bottle easier to clean and helping support rapid reuse.
The combination of a large opening and smooth interior geometry is particularly useful when handling powders, pastes or viscous materials that would be difficult to remove from a narrow-neck container.
The polypropylene bottle is designed to withstand the impacts and drops that can occur during routine laboratory or production handling.
Compared with glass, the plastic construction also eliminates glass-breakage concerns when the bottle is accidentally dropped.
This can be particularly valuable in production environments, field laboratories and facilities where containers are moved frequently.
Bürkle describes the polypropylene construction as highly resistant to chemicals.
Polypropylene is compatible with many common laboratory and industrial materials, making it a versatile container material.
Chemical resistance is not universal. Confirm compatibility with the exact chemical, concentration, temperature and expected contact time before using the bottle for storage or transport.
Bürkle identifies the wide-neck PP bottle as food safe and publishes food-contact documentation for the 0319 series.
Potential food and beverage applications include:
Facilities should still confirm that the bottle, cleaning procedure and material compatibility meet their own food-safety, allergen-control and sanitation requirements.
The 0319 series is suitable for general laboratory use where easy access to the contents is more important than controlled narrow-neck pouring.
Potential uses include:
Bürkle identifies pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries among the typical application areas for the PP wide-neck bottle.
The wide opening can be particularly useful for:
Regulated users should verify that the container, cleaning procedure and documentation requirements meet the needs of their specific quality system.
Industrial laboratories can use the Bürkle PP bottle for suitable production and process materials where chemical resistance, wide access and a secure screw closure are useful.
Potential applications include:
Wide-neck and narrow-neck laboratory bottles are designed for different handling needs.

| Liquids | Yes | Excellent for controlled pouring |
| Powders | Excellent | Less convenient |
| Granules | Excellent | Less convenient |

The Bürkle 0319 series is manufactured from polypropylene, commonly abbreviated PP.
The bottles are available in 100 mL, 250 mL, 500 mL and 1000 mL capacities.
Yes. Bürkle specifies the PP wide-neck bottles as autoclavable. Before autoclaving, unscrew the cap and place it loosely on the bottle rather than sterilizing the container with the cap tightly closed.
Yes. Bürkle identifies the 0319 series as food safe and publishes food-contact documentation for the product family. Users should still confirm that the bottle and cleaning procedure meet the requirements of their specific process.
Bürkle describes the screw closure as liquid tight and suitable for leak-free, protected storage and transport of compatible contents.
Bürkle describes the polypropylene material as highly chemically resistant. Compatibility still depends on the exact chemical, concentration, temperature and contact time, so suitability should be verified before use.
Yes. The wide-neck design is specifically suited to powders and granules as well as liquids and pastes.
Yes. Bürkle specifically highlights pastes and viscous media as applications because the large neck opening makes filling and removal easier.
The internal neck diameter increases with capacity: 24 mm for the 100 mL bottle, 31 mm for 250 mL, 39 mm for 500 mL and 50 mm for the 1000 mL bottle.
In laboratory bottle terminology, wide-neck and wide-mouth are often used to describe the same general style of bottle: a container with a larger opening that makes filling, emptying and internal access easier.
Neither material is universally better. Polypropylene can be useful where autoclavability and higher heat resistance are important, while HDPE may be preferred for other chemical-storage or container applications. The best material depends on the product, temperature and cleaning requirements.
Do not assume so. The 0319 wide-neck PP bottle is a liquid-tight laboratory and industrial container, but dangerous-goods transport requires packaging approved for the specific material and applicable transportation regulations.
