VWR® Weighing Boats, Sterile

The VWR® Sterile Weighing Boats are disposable, biologically inert, and FDA food-grade weighing containers designed to provide high-precision sample handling while minimizing contamination risks. They are electron beam sterilized, making them ideal for sterile laboratory environments, life sciences research, food testing, biopharmaceuticals, environmental analysis, and molecular biology applications.

With a flexible, smooth-surfaced design, these weighing boats ensure accurate pour-outs with minimal sample retention, making them perfect for weighing, dispensing, and storing solids, powders, granules, and liquids. Their flat bottoms prevent tipping, and their rounded corners allow for controlled pouring, improving user convenience.
