Environmental Sample Bottles

Pre-Cleaned & Certified Sample Bottles — Built for the Method

If your method calls for a clean container, the container itself can't be the source of contamination. KTEC's environmental sample bottle program ships pre-cleaned, certified with a Certificate of Analysis, and processed per the EPA Protocol that matches your analytes — the way environmental labs actually order.

One Cleanliness Standard: Every bottle ships Pre-Cleaned, Certified with COA, and Bar Coded for sample tracking — processed per EPA OSWER 9240.0-05A, "Specifications and Guidance for Contaminant-Free Sample Containers" (Dec 1992).
 EPA Cleaning Protocols

Protocol A, B, & C — Match the Cleaning to the Analyte

Pre-cleaning isn't one-size-fits-all. The reagents that strip a bottle clean for metals analysis are the wrong ones for VOCs — and vice versa. Each KTEC container is processed per the EPA Protocol that fits its intended methods.

Protocol A

Organics, Metals & Extractables

Automated wash with laboratory-grade biodegradable detergent, ASTM Type I water rinse, and trace-grade nitric acid rinse. Oven-dried and assembled in a contaminate-free environment.

Designed for analytes including:

  • Semivolatiles (EPA 625, 8270)
  • Pesticides & PCBs (EPA 608, 8081, 8082)
  • Dioxins (EPA 1613)
  • Metals, Total (EPA 6010, 6020)
  • TPH / Diesel & Motor Oil (EPA 8015)
  • Oil & Grease, Phenolics

Containers: Amber Boston Round, Amber Wide Mouth Packer, Clear Straight Sided Jar

Protocol C

Wet Chem & Inorganics

Semi-automated wash with laboratory-grade biodegradable detergent, ASTM Type I water rinse, and trace-grade hydrochloric acid rinse. Tuned for inorganic and nutrient analytes.

Designed for analytes including:

  • Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BODâ‚…, SM 5210 B)
  • Dissolved Oxygen (SM 4500-O G)
  • Ammonia, Nitrate, Nitrite
  • Surfactants (SM 4500-S2- C/D)
  • General Wet Chemistry

Containers: Natural HDPE Oblong

 Container Families

Glass for Organics, HDPE for Wet Chem

The right material is part of the method. Glass for extractables, organics, and metals (where plastics can leach or adsorb analytes). HDPE for inorganics and wet chemistry (where glass interferes with silica, sodium, or pH-sensitive work).

Amber & Clear Glass Bottles

Type III soda-lime glass in Boston Round (narrow-mouth, light-sensitive), Wide Mouth Packer (extractables & metals), and Straight Sided Jar (soil & sediment) formats. PTFE-lined closures across the line.

Natural HDPE Bottles

Natural high-density polyethylene in Oblong format for wet chemistry workflows where glass would interfere. Leakproof closures, optimized for nutrient and inorganic sampling.

 How KTEC Supports Your Lab

Built for the Environmental Testing Community

We sell to environmental labs every day. That means we know what slows you down — and we've built the program around it.

Certificate of Analysis

Every case ships with an independent-lab Certificate of Analysis — the audit trail your data deserves.

Method-Matched Cleaning

Protocol A, B, or C — the container is processed for the analyte chemistry, not generically washed.

Lot-Numbered Traceability

Lot-numbered case labels and Cleaning Protocol Form included — ready for your QA/QC documentation.

Holding-Time Aware

We move fast on environmental orders — because bottles sitting on a dock burn into your sample window.
