10 to 15 Liter (2.5 to 4 Gallon) Carboy
The classic 10L (2.5ga) Nalgene carboy is the perfect size for many labs. Small and portable enough to find its way onto benchtops throughout the lab, yet roomy enough to get you through a good portion of the day and rugged enough to contain your most valuable solutions wherever your work may take you. Choose from a wide variety of shapes and plastic materials to find the carboy that best meets your application needs.
- Polypropylene (PP), polypropylene copolymer (PPCO),
high density polyethylene (HDPE) andlow density polyethylene (LDPE) carboys are chemically compatible with a wide range of lab reagents including most acids, bases, alcohols, aldehydes, esters, and aliphatic hydrocarbons. Choose fluorinatedhigh density polyethylene (FLPE) for enhanced compatibility with organic solvents. - Polypropylene, polypropylene copolymer and polycarbonate (PC) materials are autoclavable.
- The polyethylenes and polycarbonate are ideal choices for low-temperature applications.
For chemical compatibility ratings by specific chemical and application temperature, consult the Nalgene Chemical Resistance Guide, or request a copy of the printed wall chart. Nalgene carboys are made only from high-quality laboratory-grade resin materials that comply with a number of regulatory specifications including: USP Class VI, EP monographs, EU food-contact directives, CONEG, RoHS, CA Prop 65, SARA Title III Sec. 313, and 21 CFR pt 177 for food contact. For regulatory claims and certifications applicable to specific Nalgene carboys, please contact Nalgene Regulatory Support.
For help selecting the Thermo Scientific Nalgene carboy that's perfect for your lab applications, use our online selection guide or for personal assistance, contact the Nalgene technical support team.

Footnote:
*The term “leakproof” applies to Thermo Scientific Nalgene products that meet the following criteria: a) Bottle/flask/funnel closure systems with closures smaller than 100mm, after they are filled with water, inverted, withstand air pressure of 2psig for 2 minutes, and no water escapes;. b) Bottle/funnel/flask closure systems of larger than 100mm after they are filled with water, inverted for 15 minutes, and no water escapes. Note: these tests, using other liquids, may not yield the same results. To ensure safe usage, customers are advised to test Thermo Scientific Nalgene bottles and closures under conditions of their planned applications. Thermo Scientific Nalgene products are leakproof at ambient temperature and pressure when used with their Nalgene closures.

*The term “leakproof” applies to Thermo Scientific Nalgene products that meet the following criteria: a) Bottle/flask/funnel closure systems with closures smaller than 100mm, after they are filled with water, inverted, withstand air pressure of 2psig for 2 minutes, and no water escapes;. b) Bottle/funnel/flask closure systems of larger than 100mm after they are filled with water, inverted for 15 minutes, and no water escapes. Note: these tests, using other liquids, may not yield the same results. To ensure safe usage, customers are advised to test Thermo Scientific Nalgene bottles and closures under conditions of their planned applications. Thermo Scientific Nalgene products are leakproof at ambient temperature and pressure when used with their Nalgene closures.
