Keep your chemistry fresh longer by shrinking the air, not your momentum.
If you’ve ever mixed developer or blix, used it once, and then watched it slowly lose its punch on the shelf, you already understand the problem: air space. This CineStill CS accordion bottle lets you collapse the container down to match the amount of liquid inside—so there’s less oxygen hanging around to do damage. It’s also opaque for light-sensitive chemistry, and designed to play nicely with CineStill’s TCS-1000 temperature control workflow.
Why darkroom folks like this CineStill CS accordion bottle (1000mL)
-
Air-reduction storage that’s actually practical → the accordion body compresses so you can reduce headspace → less oxidation risk and longer-lasting chemistry compared to conventional bottles.
-
Opaque for light + air sensitive mixes → CineStill/B&H describe an opaque plastic design for sensitive chemistries → fewer “mystery variables” between sessions.
-
Built for a smooth workflow → screw-on cap + easy-to-hold, pour-friendly shape → faster setup and less mess when you’re moving between steps.
-
1L capacity that fits most home processing routines → rated at 1000 mL (33.8 fl oz) → a clean match for common mixing volumes and replenishment routines.
-
Designed to integrate with temperature control → CineStill notes heat-conductive material intended to work with the TCS-1000 system → helps chemistry come to temp more predictably in that ecosystem.
Quick setup note
To purge the air, compress the bottle with the cap off, then cap it once the liquid level is where you want it.
Tradeoffs to know
Accordion bottles are great for reducing headspace, but they’re not as “set-and-forget” as rigid bottles—plan to handle them with a little care when full, and keep your labeling consistent so you don’t mix up chemicals between sessions.
What’s included: CineStill CS Collapsible Air Reduction Accordion Storage Bottle (1000mL).
Ideal for: anyone mixing and storing photo chemicals at home (C-41, E-6, B&W), especially if you want longer shelf life between processing days.
Looking Glass tip: label the bottle with chemical name + mix date + number of rolls/sheets processed. Your future self will thank you.
