Description
Rectangular canister, PP, without stop cock, 20 l is a larger-volume laboratory canister intended for bulk liquid storage and transfer where efficient use of shelf or floor space matters. Fabricated from polypropylene (PP), it provides a durable vessel for many aqueous laboratory liquids, buffers, and process intermediates. The rectangular profile maximises packing density beside other canisters and carboys, helping laboratories organise media preparation and bulk reagent stocks more neatly than cylindrical containers of comparable capacity. With a 20 l working volume and no stop cock, the unit is suited to pour-out handling or external pump systems rather than gravity dispensing through an integral tap. Supplied as a single piece weighing approximately 2,291 kg, this canister from manufacturer Nalgene supports routine workflows in research, analytical, and production-support laboratories. Common applications include intermediate storage of prepared solutions, transport of process liquids within controlled areas, and consolidation of larger batches before aliquoting. The polypropylene construction is appropriate for repeated laboratory use when handled and cleaned under standard good laboratory practice. It complements other laboratory containers, bottles, and canisters used for secure bulk liquid management.

Questions about Rectangular canister, PP, without stop cock, 20 l, 1 unit(s)
What is this article?
Rectangular canister, PP, without stop cock, 20 l, 1 unit(s) is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Nalgene for laboratory use. It sits in Canisters & jerrycans, inside Bottles & containers, in Labware.
A canister or jerrycan holds litres, not millilitres, and it is shaped to be carried and to pour. The material has to survive the liquid for the whole time the can sits in the store.
A laboratory bottle is a closed container with a stated volume and a neck that takes a cap, a stopper or a dispenser. Borosilicate glass is the choice when the liquid is a solvent, or when the bottle will be heated or autoclaved. Polyethylene and polypropylene are the choice when the bottle must not shatter, or when hydrofluoric acid would attack glass. A narrow mouth pours. A wide mouth is for powders and for reaching the bottom. Laboratory ware of this kind is indexed under ISO laboratory glassware. Traceable volume sits with the BIPM and NIST Physical Measurement.
