Are the Nalgene PPCO media bottles/tubes able to be irradiated?

PPCO bottles/tubes are not recommended for sterilization by radiation. Polycarbonate bottles/tubes would be a suitable alternative if radiation sterilization is desired.

What is the vacuum rating for Nalgene Heavy-Duty PPCO Vacuum Bottles with Closure?

These bottles can hold full vacuum for up to 24 hrs at 20 degrees C.

I need a container with a positive pressure rating. Do you have anything suitable for this?

Unfortunately, none of our containers were designed or tested for applications involving positive pressure. Some of our customers do choose to carry out their own performance validations, but this must be done at the customer‘s own risk. We do offer selected bottles and carboys (2126 and 2226 series) that are vacuum rated for use at room temperature (to full “rough” vacuum, about 28-29 in. Hg).
