Description
Canister, 5 L, S51 is a compact laboratory waste container fabricated from high-density polyethylene (HDPE) for the secure disposal of chromatographic solvents and other liquid laboratory waste streams. Offering a 5 L capacity and external dimensions of 145 × 250 × 190 mm (W × H × D), the unit is well suited to benchtop placement or smaller storage areas while providing excellent chemical resistance to nearly all solvents routinely used in the laboratory. The S51 thread interface supports integration with compatible safety closures for controlled handling of volatile hazardous materials. Produced from robust HDPE by SCAT, this canister holds UN-X approval, facilitating safe storage and transport of dangerous goods. Its durable, electrically non-conductive construction helps raise overall laboratory safety during everyday solvent-waste collection. The compact 5 L format complements a broader range of larger canisters intended for under-bench or safety-cabinet installation, giving laboratories a flexible, chemically resistant solution for routine liquid-waste management.

Questions about Canister, 5 L, S51
What is this article?
Canister, 5 L, S51 is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes SCAT 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.
