The Thermo Scientific Nalgene carboy advantage

When using carboys for critical applications, standard laboratory carboys won't do. More supporting documentation, choices and designs sensitive to the necessary cleaning validations are just a few things to look for. Customization with fluid transfer options, pre-sterilization, and forced extraction studies are additional benefits you can expect from Thermo Scientific Nalgene carboys and jerricans.
