Polypropylene Carboys
Polypropylene Carboys (Product Code: SLE/P/08) are heavy-duty, autoclavable polypropylene containers with a stopcock, used to store and dispense distilled water, buffers and other bulk liquids in teaching, clinical and industrial laboratories. Lab managers choose them for their offset neck, carrying handles and leak-proof stopcock with a boss fitting, in 5, 10, 15 and 20 L capacities. They are supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India, for school lab equipment bulk supply and routine lab use.

What Are Polypropylene Carboys Used For?
A carboy with a stopcock turns a shelf into a dispensing station. Distilled or deionised water, saline, buffer and wash solutions can be drawn off into a beaker or wash bottle without lifting the container, which saves time and avoids spills. Because the carboys are autoclavable, microbiology labs also use them to prepare and hold sterile water or media in bulk.
The front-moulded graduations let staff check the level of every carboy at a glance when several stand side by side, and the offset neck makes refilling and pouring easier. Stand the carboy with the stopcock over the edge of a bench or shelf so a vessel fits underneath. Remember that a full 20 L carboy of water weighs about 20 kg, so use both handles, and loosen the cap before autoclaving so pressure can equalise.

- The capacity you need: 5 L, 10 L, 15 L or 20 L.

Frequently Asked Questions
What capacities are the Polypropylene Carboys available in?
The Polypropylene Carboys (SLE/P/08) are listed in 5 L, 10 L, 15 L and 20 L capacities. Smaller carboys suit bench-top dispensing, while the 15 L and 20 L sizes are useful as central stores for distilled water or wash solutions.
Can the Polypropylene Carboys be autoclaved?
Yes, the Polypropylene Carboys are made of autoclavable polypropylene, so they can hold sterile water or media. Always loosen the cap before a cycle so pressure can equalise, and let the carboy cool fully before tightening the cap or filling it again.
How is liquid dispensed from the Polypropylene Carboys?
Liquid is drawn from the Polypropylene Carboys through a leak-proof, heavy-duty stopcock fitted with a boss for extra strength. The offset neck also makes it easy to fill the carboy and, when needed, to pour from it using the handles.
Can the level be read when several carboys stand together?
Yes, the Polypropylene Carboys have graduations moulded on the front, so the level of each one can be read even when they are used in a row. Treat the marks as a guide to the volume left rather than an accurate measuring scale.
Which liquids can be stored in the Polypropylene Carboys?
The Polypropylene Carboys suit distilled and deionised water, saline, buffers and most aqueous acid, base and salt solutions. Some organic solvents and strong oxidisers can attack polypropylene, so tell us what you plan to store and we will confirm suitability before you order.
Who supplies the Polypropylene Carboys?
The Polypropylene Carboys are supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd, trading as ScienceLab, from Ambala, Haryana, India. Single carboys and bulk quantities can be quoted for laboratories, schools, dealers and importers in India and international markets.
