MEDILAB Stopcocks (PP/PTFE) are precision-engineered laboratory valves designed to regulate, open, or stop the flow of liquids and gases in scientific and industrial systems. Built with a durable polypropylene body and a high-performance PTFE plug, these stopcocks deliver reliable, leakproof flow control even under demanding conditions. They are essential in laboratories, research facilities, and production environments where accuracy, chemical resistance, and long-term stability are critical.
Key Features
- Leakproof flow regulation using a chemically inert PTFE plug
- Serrated tubulations accept a wide range of flexible tubing (6–10 mm)
- Available in 2-way and 3-way configurations for versatile flow pathways
- High chemical and thermal resistance, suitable for routine and specialized applications
- Durable polypropylene body ensures structural strength and long service life
- Smooth, low-torque operation for easy opening/closing
- Lightweight, corrosion-free, and maintenance-friendly
- Ideal for both low-pressure and general-purpose laboratory setups
Material Specifications
- Body Material: Polypropylene (PP) Rigid, tough, and autoclavable up to approx. 120°C. Excellent resistance to aqueous solutions, weak acids, and bases
- Plug Material: Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) Outstanding chemical inertness; compatible with aggressive reagents. Very low friction coefficient for smooth operation. High thermal stability
- Manufacturing Standards: Produced under ISO-compliant quality systems (ISO 9001)
- Biocompatibility: Suitable for pharmaceutical, analytical, and research applications
Technical Specifications
Additional Technical Details
- Tubing Compatibility: Serrated connectors suitable for 6–10 mm ID tubing
- Design: Straight body with integrated PTFE plug for precision flow control
- Tolerance: Molded under controlled conditions for consistent dimensional accuracy

Handling & Precautions
- Ensure proper insertion of tubing over serrations for a secure, leakproof fit
- Do not use with excessive pressure or vacuum beyond standard laboratory limits
- Avoid exposure to strong oxidizing agents that may affect PP components
- Clean using mild detergents; avoid abrasive tools or harsh organic solvents
- Autoclave only within safe PP temperature limits (≤120°C)
- Do not overtighten the PTFE plug—light torque ensures smooth operation and long life
- Store in a cool, dry environment away from direct sunlight
Applications
- Routine liquid and gas flow control in chemical, biological, analytical, and pharmaceutical laboratories
- Integration into filtration assemblies, fluid transfer lines, bench-scale reactors, and research setups
- Widely used in QC/QA labs, educational institutions, pilot plants, and production facilities
- Ideal for applications requiring contamination-free handling and precise flow direction, including buffer preparation, reagent distribution, titration setups, and controlled media flow
