Our Product Offerings Include:
Square Poly Bottles
Our award-winning recyclable polyethylene bottles are designed for safety and convenience, with a square shape that minimizes the storage space required for bottles.
Specialized Acid Containers
Fisher Chemical™ Optima™ Acids remain ultrapure in Teflon™ bottles that have been pretreated to minimize leaching and preserve the purity of contents.
Amber Glass Bottles
Designed to promote quality and reliability, amber glass bottles are used to package photosensitive chemicals to protect them from light.
Borosilicate Glass Bottles
Our borosilicate bottles significantly reduce contamination from metal cations (Na+ and K+) compared to soda-lime glass.
Plastic Bottles
Available when chemical properties are compatible, plastic bottles minimize the risk of breakage while providing lighter-weight packaging and easier, more economical shipping.
Aluminum Cans
With a lightweight, seamless construction that is designed to contain ethers, this option features a tamper-evident cap with pouring handle. They are pure aluminum, which minimizes Na+ and K+ adduct formation.
High-Volume Solvent Delivery Systems
We offer environmentally friendly solvent-handling solutions for virtually unlimited applications to enhance safety and improve productivity within your lab.

Pressure-Sensitive Safety Labels
These highly visible labels are GHS-compliant and refer to ChemAlert™ colors that match FisherLOCK™ caps to promote safe handling and storage of chemicals and solvents.
- The larger label surface provides better visibility for the chemical name and its attributes, including full product name, purity grade, catalog number, lot number, package size and maximum number of impurities, as well as precautionary signal words, GHS pictograms and a list of potential health hazards (both acute and chronic) of the product described on the label
- The Fisher Chemical ChemAlert™ Guide provides concise personal-protection information, including the Safety Code, NFPA Code and a Storage Code guide. The "Date Received" space is left blank, so you can write in the date the product was received to assist in inventory control
- Each label contains U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) shipping information, including DOT Proper Shipping Name and UN/NA Number identifying the United Nations/North American numerical designation for transportation hazards
- The bar code on each label meets the Health Industry Bar Code (HIBC) Supplier Labeling Standard prepared by the HIBC Council
