Safety Waste Compliance in One Easy Step

Improper waste collection and handling of hazardous waste can put the people and property in a lab at risk. Long gone are the days of dumping HPLC solvent waste down the drain, but even experienced chromatographers sometimes struggle to dispose of solvent waste in a safe and compliant way.

Far too often, we notice people using recycled 4L amber bottles as their waste container. Usually, you’ll find the waste lines just set into the bottle, with a parafilm wrap holding in the tubing. Aside from the glass bottle being unstable, the main problem with using this setup is that the parafilm cannot prevent vapors like VOCs from entering the lab and exposing people to hazardous vapors.

The Chrom Tech Solvent Waste Container Kit is an easy solution to protect the people and property in your lab. Each kit includes a Justrite Safety Container (available as 2 or 5 gallons) that has two quick-connects and the following accessories:

• Reusable filter adapter and organic vapor filter – to protect from hazardous vapors
• 6-port manifold
• Tubing connection kit – with fittings and plugs to accommodate most HPLC systems

Most people are compliant with using a secondary container, but in case you need to replace yours, we do offer a spill basin as a separate accessory.
