• Autoclaveable
• Leakproof construction Wide-Mouth Carboy Carboy with Hosebarb

These chemical-resistant autoclaveable carboys are ideal for every lab. Orbeco-Hellige Oxi700™
All carboys have a leakproof polypropylene cap and 1-gallon and 5-liter
graduations. Choose from three types. BOD Measurement Systems
Wide-mouth carboys are easy to fill, empty and clean. Carboys with spigots • Measures BOD according to Standard Methods 5210 D
are used to dispense solutions, media or sterile water. Disassemble spigot • No dilutions or dilution water required
before autoclaving. Carboys with hosebarb connections accept 1/2"
• Adjust measurement period between 1 and 28 days—
flexible tubing. Hosebarb connection and carboy are molded in one piece
to ensure a leakproof connection. A hose clamp should be used when perfect for process control optimization
connecting tubing to avoid leaking.
