Bibby Sterilin has added two new coloured ice buckets to its Azlon range, providing fast and easy laboratory identification.

The new sky blue and grass green versions join the black ice bucket currently available, offering both an innovative colour-coding system and a touch of colour to the workplace.

Their introduction now ensures the safe differentiation between areas using potentially hazardous materials, such as high risk microbiology laboratories or those working with radioactive materials.

With excellent insulating properties, the ice buckets are ideal for use with dry/water ice and salt solutions. With no problems of sweating or leakage, water ice can be maintained in a frozen state for up to 36 hours.

Robust and safe in operation, their durable and rigid polyurethane-skinned foam construction makes them unbreakable in normal use. With an attractive octagonal design, the buckets are extremely stable when full. Good solvent and general chemical resistance means that simple chemical disinfection is all that is required for cleaning purposes. The integral, recessed handles make handling and transportation trouble-free and, in conjunction with the flush-fitting lid, also ensure easy stacking for storage purposes.
