In the yellow pages there is a section called "laboratory supply" and these people do sell their test-tubes and scales and microscopes and bottles to the public. You don't need to be a biologist or a drug dealer! I have in front of me my white box of CTL#7322 Qorpak Bottles on the side it says Bottle, Amber Br, Blk pV-lined Cap, 8 oz 03a So the whole time it appears I've been using 8 oz which is 236.59 mls not 250mls! At least it's consistent! And it comes in a box of 2 dozen. You'd have 4 left over to use for something else. I think that's what they have. Brown. They are more likely to have brown then clear or another color. So I got brown. I think it was around 40 bucks. Perhaps a 10% solution of Benzotriazole for colder tones and clearer whites in your paper for one of those extra bottles?! I'm lucky that i have a neat label maker so I type in "Xtol" and then hit the button repeatedly so i can label all my little Xtol bottles consistently and clearly and easily. I would not leave them unlabeled. My local supplier is Nurnberg Scientific Nurnberg Scientific 6310 sw Virginia Portland, OR 97204 USA (503) 246-8297 fax (503) 246-0360 I don't quiet trust plastic to keep developers or fix in. I love glass. I spend my money on glass. I guess you could get 4 oz or 125 oz bottles, 40 of them if you always ran half liter metal tanks. I don't know what the amounts are for Jobo.
