The 1000mL CS Collapsible Air Reduction Accordion Storage Bottle from CineStill Film is a bottle for mixing photographic chemicals. The self contained system offers an opaque plastic design for storing darkroom chemistries that are sensitive to light and air. Chemicals stored in the bottle last longer when compared to conventional bottles. Conveniently, the accordion-like bottle with screw-on cap can be compressed allowing the volume of the bottle to be adapted to match the amount of liquid in it, which reduces the risk of oxidation.

I bought 2 of the bottles with the Cs41 kit. I like the big mouth of the bottle for filling. I will be curious to see how the chemicals last, after reading mixed reviews. Not a bad product for the pice.

Holds a bit more than 1 liter. Collapses nicely, as advertised, so there's minimum air left, helping to keep the chemicals fresh.
