Wash bottles may be filled with a range of common laboratory solvents and reagents, according to the work to be undertaken.These include deionized water, detergent solutions and rinse solvents such as acetone, isopropanol or ethanol.In biological labs it is common to keep sodium hypochlorite solution in a wash bottle to disinfect unneeded cultures.A spiral gas-lift wash bottle, for example, is suitable for eliminating gas with the liquid system having two phases like bromide and water.[6] Wash bottles are typically kept on the laboratory bench in a secure way so that they can be easily located and so that they do not interfere with other work taking place.
