Frequently Asked Questions
A HDPE carboy is a large-capacity container used for storing, transporting, and dispensing bulk liquids, including buffers, reagents, media, deionized water, and waste. The AZLON® HPDE carboy is designed for benchtop dispensing in research, QC, and manufacturing environments.
HDPE carboys offer superior impact resistance and are well-suited to ambient storage and dispensing of aqueous solutions, solvents, and waste. Polypropylene (PP) carboys are autoclavable and tolerate higher temperatures, making them the right choice when sterilisation is required.
AZLON® heavy-duty carboy is manufactured from USP Class VI compliant HDPE, which exceeds typical food-grade plastic requirements and is suitable for pharmaceutical, biopharma, and laboratory applications.
HDPE carboys are widely used for collecting and storing aqueous laboratory waste and many common solvents, including alcohols, dilute acids, and dilute bases. However, HDPE has limited compatibility with certain non-polar organic solvents (such as chlorinated hydrocarbons, aromatic solvents like toluene and xylene, and some ketones), which can cause swelling or permeation over time. Always consult a chemical compatibility chart before using a HDPE carboy for solvent waste.
