NEST Polypropylene Carboys

Carboys are large-volume containers used to transport various liquid media. Plastic carboys can be made from different materials that are impact and shatter resistant and generally lightweight. Examples include polypropylene (PP), high-density polyethylene (HDPE), polycarbonate (PC), and polyethylene terephthalate (PET).

Polypropylene (PP) carboys can be autoclaved for sterilization and PET and glass carboys are non-porous. Carboys can include spigots or stopcocks to facilitate liquid transfer, and some have built-in carrying handles for convenient transport.
