VWR Carboy HDPE 2.5 L with Blue Screw Cap

VWR 89199-164 HDPE Carboy – 2.5 L, Wide-Mouth, Blue Screw Cap

The VWR 89199-164 is a heavy-duty, 2.5-Liter carboy engineered for the secure storage, transport, and dispensing of laboratory liquids, buffers, and chemical solutions. Manufactured from chemically resistant high-density polyethylene (HDPE), this rugged container is built to withstand the daily rigors of industrial and biological laboratories. A standout feature of this specific model is its massive 80 mm wide-mouth opening, paired with a leak-proof blue screw cap. Designed with space-saving ergonomics and user safety in mind, it provides an exceptional, highly durable alternative to fragile glass reagent bottles for bulk fluid management.

Technical Performance and Design

• 80 mm Wide-Mouth Opening: The ultra-wide neck design drastically simplifies the transfer of bulk powders and viscous liquids into the vessel. Most importantly, it allows laboratory technicians to easily reach inside the carboy with a brush for thorough, hassle-free cleaning.

• Premium HDPE Construction: Molded from high-density polyethylene, the carboy provides excellent chemical compatibility with a broad range of acids, bases, and alcohols, while resisting the cracking and embrittlement common to lower-grade plastics.

• Ergonomic Handling: Features molded-in grips that provide a secure, comfortable hold. This ensures safe lifting and controlled pouring, even when the container is completely filled and heavy.

• Molded Graduations: Equipped with large, easy-to-read volumetric graduation marks molded directly into the plastic (with a ±5% accuracy), allowing for quick visual fluid assessments without the need to transfer contents to a graduated cylinder.
