Dukal TEC 4236 Stainless Steel Thermometer Jar Large 1×4 Inch

Description

Product Overview

The Dukal TEC 4236 Thermometer Jar is engineered to meet the rigorous demands of professional medical and scientific settings. Constructed from high‑grade stainless steel, the jar provides exceptional resistance to corrosion, chemicals, and the high temperatures encountered during autoclave cycles. Its dimensions—1 inch by 4 inches—deliver a generous interior volume while maintaining a compact footprint that fits easily on laboratory benches, instrument trays, and examination tables.

Every detail of the jar is designed for practicality. The smooth, rounded edges reduce the risk of accidental cuts and make the jar comfortable to handle, even when gloved. The lid, which is not shown but is compatible with the standard Dukal sundry jar series, creates a tight seal that prevents spillage and protects the contents from contamination. The jar’s weight of just 2.4 ounces ensures it is light enough for rapid transport between workstations yet sturdy enough to withstand routine handling.

Manufactured by Dukal Corporation, a trusted name in professional medical supplies, the TEC 4236 model carries the reputation of durability and precision. The product’s best‑seller rank—#76 in Medical Sundry Jars—demonstrates its popularity among clinicians, researchers, and laboratory technicians who require reliable temperature‑sensitive storage solutions.

Usage

This thermometer jar excels in a variety of clinical and laboratory applications. In medical examinations, it can hold temperature‑sensitive reagents, calibration fluids, or small specimens that need to be kept at a stable temperature while being observed. In research laboratories, the jar is ideal for storing calibration standards, reference solutions, or small sample vials that require frequent access and precise temperature control.

Because the jar is autoclavable, it can be sterilized alongside other instruments without the need for separate processing steps. This feature is especially valuable in environments where infection control is paramount, such as surgical suites, microbiology labs, and pharmaceutical testing facilities. The stainless‑steel construction also makes the jar compatible with a wide range of cleaning agents, allowing for thorough decontamination without degrading the material.

Target audiences include physicians, nurses, laboratory technicians, quality‑control personnel, and educators who need a dependable, reusable container for temperature‑sensitive materials. Whether used in a busy emergency department, a university teaching lab, or a high‑throughput diagnostic facility, the jar’s design supports efficient workflow and reliable performance.
