Carboys with Faucet


Style B	Style C	Style E	Style G	Style J

Dispense liquids hands-free with the built-in faucet on these carboys. Choose a seal material based on the chemicals being dispensed. PTFE and Viton® seals resist a broad range of aggressive solvents and acids, outperforming Buna-N and LDPE seals in chemical resistance. Silicone rubber or EPDM seals suit general-purpose lab use where extreme chemical resistance is not required.

Precisely control the cleaning process by setting the temperature and time. Heating cleaning solutions and using the degas function to remove dissolved gases increases their effectiveness. These cleaners use sound waves moving through the solution to create a scrubbing action that removes dirt from crevices and between tightly spaced parts.
