Product news

Government Regulations increasingly place emphasis on laboratory safety, particularly in regard to exposure of lab personnel to hazardous solvent vapours. The SolventSafe waste disposal system directly addresses the problem of waste solvent in the form of a simple, yet innovative safety product.

The SolventSafe system consists of a substantial 7.5 litre ultra-high molecular weight (UHMW) polyethylene waste container that allows removal of waste material from up to 9 different sources simultaneously and is compatible with most solvents and acids. An organic vapour filter ensures no solvent vapours can escape into the atmosphere.

The system is quick and easy to use and as contains no fragile glass components so there is no risk of any breakage. The SolventSafe can even be kept on the floor.

UHPLC and HPLCHigh performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and ultra high performance liquid chromatography (UHPLC), also known as UPLC, are analytical techniques used to separate, identify and quantitate components of complex mixtures including biological samples such as proteins and lipids as well as chemical mixtures of pesticides, drugs and oils. Both techniques are liquid chromatographic methods but differ by operating pressures (HPLC < 6000 psi < UHPLC ). Components of HPLC and UHPLC systems include columns, detectors, pumps, autosamplers and column heaters. Explore a range of UHPLC and HPLC columns for your specific sample needs including reverse phase, normal phase, ion exchange, HILIC, ion exclusion and size exclusion columns. For more specialized HPLC, explore FPLC, countercurrent LC and simulated moving bed systems.
