A liquid storage container that includes a body, a neck, and a neck opening in which the center axis of the neck may be oriented at a substantially vertical angle. The container includes a bottom wall that supports the container in a first substantially horizontal position and a front wall that adjoins the bottom wall and slopes upward at an obtuse angle from this bottom wall. This obtuse angle allows complementary angular rotation, i.e., tilting, of the front wall of the container beyond the obtuse angle, to a second substantially horizontal position in which the front wall supports the container. This rotation results in the center axis of the neck tilting from a substantially vertical angle to an oblique angle to provide variable angles of access to liquids stored therein using liquid transfer devices.
A laboratory liquid storage container comprising:
A laboratory liquid storage container comprising a body having opposing side walls, a neck, and a neck opening, wherein the center axis of said neck can be oriented at a first substantially vertical angle, and wherein said container also comprises a bottom wall that supports said container in a first substantially horizontal position, wherein said container further comprises a front wall that adjoins said bottom wall and slopes upward at an obtuse angle from said bottom wall, allowing complementary angular rotation of said front wall beyond said obtuse angle to a second substantially horizontal position wherein said front wall supports said container, wherein said rotation has tilted said center axis of said neck from said first substantially vertical angle to a second oblique angle, and wherein at least one of said side walls includes volumetric graduation markings along an axis normal to said bottom wall for use when said container is resting on said bottom wall and at least one of said side walls includes volumetric graduation markings along an axis normal to said front wall for use when said container is resting on said front wall.
