hybex 5 L Bottle with GL45 Blue Cap, 1/each

The B3000-5L is the 5 L hybex bottle with standard GL45 blue cap, sold as single bottle at $261. The 5 L format is a very-large-volume bulk-storage bottle for production-scale media prep, large-batch buffer prep, fermenter / bioreactor feed-stock storage, and other workflows where single-aliquot storage at the 5 L scale is the procurement driver.

SKU format note: The B3000-5L SKU omits the trailing -B* suffix that the smaller bottle SKUs (B3000-100-B through B3000-2000-B) carry. The universe label format steps to a simplified naming convention at the very-large-bottle tier. Confirm SKU format at order if facility procurement standardizes on the suffixed naming.

Key Specifications

When to Pick the 5 L Bottle

Pick the 5 L bottle (B3000-5L) when:

• Workflow uses single 5 L aliquots as the bulk-storage format (production-scale media prep, large-batch buffer prep)
• Cell-culture facility production-scale media storage. 5 L bottle for bulk media procurement
• Fermenter / bioreactor feed-stock storage. Pre-sterilized 5 L bottles as feed-stock containers
• Single-bottle procurement. Workflow needs one large bottle, not a pack of smaller bottles

Step down to 2 L (B3000-2000-B) for medium-bulk storage at lower per-bottle cost when 2 L aliquots fit the workflow.

Step up to 10 L (B3000-10L) for the very-largest single-bottle aliquot format.

hybex Very-Large Bottle Format: 5 L vs 10 L vs 2 L Pack

Application Profile

Production-scale cell-culture media storage. Bulk media procurement at the 5 L bottle format.

Production-scale buffer prep. Large-batch buffer aliquots at the 5 L scale.

Fermenter / bioreactor feed-stock storage. Pre-sterilized 5 L bottles used as feed-stock vessels.

Multi-investigator shared facility bulk reagent storage. 5 L bottle as facility-shared bulk-reagent container.

Method-development workflows. Protocol-development at production-scale where bulk reagent storage is the workflow requirement.

Ordering & Configuration

Pair with cap accessories per workflow. Vented caps for autoclaving (critical at the 5 L bottle scale where pressure differential during autoclave cycles is meaningful), dispensing caps for repetitive aliquoting from the bulk bottle.

Confirm autoclave / sterilization protocol. Very-large bottles require vented caps during autoclaving to prevent dangerous pressure buildup. Confirm autoclave SOP at order.

Confirm storage facility for 5 L bottles. 5 L bottles take substantially more shelf / storage space than 1 L bottles; confirm storage planning.

Confirm handling protocol. A 5 L bottle filled with media weighs ~5 kg + bottle; confirm safe-handling protocols (cart-based transport for full bottles, two-person lift policies if applicable).

Confirm at quote: bottle / cap material, autoclave compatibility (especially vented-cap pairing for the 5 L scale), storage-space planning, handling protocol, and lead time.

Warranty: Per Benchmark Scientific standard consumable terms.

hybex very-large bottle format:

- B3000-5L (this product): 5 L single bottle ($261), production-scale bulk storage

- B3000-10L, 10 L single bottle ($468), very-largest single-bottle format

Pick the 5 L for production-scale bulk-aliquot storage; sister 10 L for very-largest workflows; step down to B3000-2000-B (2 L pack) when smaller aliquots fit the workflow. See B3000-1000-B anchor for full chemistry / cap-accessory detail.
