LABORATORY TANKS FOR STORAGE AND PROCESSING

Laboratory tanks are containers for storing, mixing, and dispensing liquids. McQueen Labs carries Nalgene tanks in linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE) and polypropylene, with cylindrical and rectangular designs, covers, and spigot options. The category also includes reagent reservoirs, tank liners, and accessories for specialized workflows.

Start with the volume and intended use, then compare the material, dimensions, closure, and dispensing arrangement. Browse cylindrical tanks for storage and dispensing options, or review Nalgene Closed-Dome Polypropylene Tanks for closed reagent storage and mixing.

Frequently Asked Questions

What laboratory tank capacities are available?
Capacity varies by tank family. Nalgene Lightweight Cylindrical LLDPE Tanks with Cover and Spigot are offered in 5–55 gal. sizes (19–208 L), while Nalgene Closed-Dome Polypropylene Tanks range from 75–380 L. Compare the selected capacity and dimensions on the product page rather than treating either range as applying to every tank.
How do I choose between LLDPE and polypropylene tanks?
Compare chemical compatibility and autoclaving requirements for the specific tank. Nalgene Lightweight Cylindrical LLDPE Tanks with Cover and Spigot are not autoclavable. Nalgene Closed-Dome Polypropylene Tanks and their closures are autoclavable. Review the product documentation for your intended chemicals and operating conditions before selecting either material.
Which tanks support reagent storage and mixing?
Nalgene Closed-Dome Polypropylene Tanks are specified for storing, mixing, and dispensing reagents. Their product page lists compatibility with the Closed-Dome Tank Closure with Mixer Support Assembly, manufacturer number 2651-0200, and specified BioTech mixer components. Review those component requirements when selecting a mixing configuration.
Which tanks come with a dispensing spigot?
The Nalgeneâ„¢ Lightweight Cylindrical LLDPE Tank with Cover and Spigot has a Nalgene Needle Spigot installed for dispensing. For Closed-Dome Polypropylene Tanks, confirm the required spigot configuration before ordering; the product page says these tanks may be fitted with spigots.
Do lightweight LLDPE tanks need external support?
The Nalgene Lightweight Cylindrical LLDPE Tank with Cover and Spigot product page specifies external support when the tank is used at elevated temperatures or with high-specific-gravity liquids. This family is intended for less rigorous applications; review that requirement alongside chemical compatibility before selecting it for your workflow.
