Frequently Asked Questions
1. Is the LLG 10 L carboy autoclavable?
Since the LLG carboy is made from polypropylene (PP), it generally offers good thermal resistance; however, always check the specific product manual for exact autoclaving parameters.
2. What threading do the SCAT canisters use?
The SCAT canisters featured, such as the 12 L and 25 L models, utilize standard S60/61 threading, which is compatible with a wide range of laboratory safety caps.
3. Can I add a graduation scale to a jerrycan I already own?
Bürkle Liter Scales are designed for specific volumes like 6 L, 11 L, 20 L, and 31 L; ensure the scale matches the capacity and neck type of your existing wide-mouth jerrycan.
4. What is the benefit of the Kautex Stopcock?
The Kautex stopcock allows for controlled, drip-free dispensing of liquids from carboys, which is essential for safely transferring bulk reagents into smaller laboratory vessels.
