Safety Waste Compliance in One Easy Step

Improper waste collection and handling of hazardous materials can pose serious risks to both people and property in the lab. While the days of disposing of HPLC solvent waste down the drain are long gone, even seasoned chromatographers can still face challenges in safely and compliantly disposing of solvent waste.

It’s common to see individuals using recycled 4L amber bottles as waste containers, with the waste lines simply placed into the bottle and secured with parafilm. While the glass bottle itself is unstable, the primary issue with this setup is that parafilm doesn’t prevent vapors, such as VOCs, from escaping. This exposes the lab to hazardous fumes, putting people at risk.

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.
