Safer Laboratory Operations

Many lab instruments require volatile organic solvents which can be health and safety concerns. Our products provide a closed-system solution.

Minimize Exposure

Reduce exposure to harmful solvent fumes and vapors in your laboratory environment.

Capture Solvent Waste

Securely capture waste without leaks or drips, without foil or lab film.

Reduce Evaporation

Prevent evaporation of expensive chemical reagents with PTFE check valves.

Closed System Components

Our closed systems consist of three integrated components: solvent extraction, emissions control, and waste collection.

How Closed Systems Work - Exhaust Filter Components Diagram

Solvent Extraction

Inert PTFE one-way check valve reduces solvent evaporation while allowing clean air to enter.

Emissions Control

Activated carbon adsorption media captures toxic fumes with chemical-change breakthrough indicator.

Waste Collection

Multi-port manifolds securely capture waste without leaks, drips, foil or lab film.

Exhaust Filters

Ultra high surface area activated carbon for HPLC emission reduction.

Reduce toxic fumes and noxious odors from HPLC solvent waste by vapor capture onto activated carbon exhaust filters. Each filter includes a button-activated lapse timer to aid in estimating the time in service (medium filters: 3-month timer, large filters: 6-month timer).

For real-time end-of-service-life detection, we offer filters with a chemical-change breakthrough indicator to reveal a color change after exposure to common HPLC organic solvents.

Filter Adapters

Attach exhaust filters to various emission sources.

Whether attaching an exhaust filter to a collection manifold or to a quick disconnect on a safety can, select from these adapters based on height limitations above the container. Available in straight, 90° elbow, 45° elbow, and adjustable configurations.

Stacking Manifolds

(Nearly) limitless modular expansion for extra tubes.

One of the unique features of our solvent collection manifolds is their ability to adapt to additional tubing requirements. Whether attaching five tubes or fifty, each manifold can be expanded by connecting modular "stacking" units.

This is especially useful in laboratories at maximum solvent capacity permissible by law. By connecting more than one instrument to a single waste carboy, additional containers may not be required.
