7.6 L Polypropylene Wash Basins — Turquoise, Non-Sterile, 50/Bag (395-6050-T30)
These large-capacity 7.6 L wash basins are molded from durable polypropylene and supplied non-sterile in bags of 50 for high-throughput laboratory and clinical environments. Part number 395-6050-T30 provides a generous working volume suitable for rinsing, soaking, and reagent preparation tasks where a sturdy, disposable basin is preferred over reusable glassware. The distinctive turquoise color supports straightforward visual identification and color-coded workflow management across multi-step protocols.

Material & Chemical Resistance
Polypropylene offers excellent resistance to aqueous buffers, dilute acids and bases, and many alcohols, making it well suited to the broad range of rinse solutions and reagents encountered in routine laboratory work. PP is autoclavable, which allows reuse under sterile conditions if needed, though these basins are supplied and intended for non-sterile use. Chlorinated solvents and aromatic solvents should be avoided, as they can degrade polypropylene over time.
Quality & Procurement
Made in USA, Caplugs® Evergreen wash basins are manufactured under ISO 9001 quality management from BPA-free, phthalate-free, latex-free polypropylene resin. LabSupplies.com is an authorized dealer and ships from USA inventory, typically same business day for stocking items, with tiered pricing available for institutional and grant-funded laboratories.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are these wash basins sterile?
No — the 395-6050-T30 basins are supplied non-sterile in 50/Bag bulk packaging, which is appropriate for the majority of general rinsing, soaking, and reagent preparation applications that do not require sterile conditions.
Can polypropylene wash basins be autoclaved if sterility is needed?
Polypropylene is generally autoclavable and resistant to the temperatures used in standard steam sterilization cycles; however, because these basins are rated and supplied as non-sterile, users should validate any sterilization process for their specific application before relying on autoclaved units in sterile workflows.
What types of solutions are compatible with these basins?
Aqueous solutions, standard laboratory buffers, dilute acids and bases, and many alcohol-based solutions are compatible with polypropylene. Chlorinated solvents and aromatic solvents should be avoided, as they can compromise the material over time.
