Without
a doubt, waste containment is a big issue when it comes to HPLC. Solvents and
aqueous solutions from column washes, equilibrations, and separations can
produce significant waste which requires collection and proper handling for
responsible disposal. Despite this need, HPLC labs often struggle with best
practices to efficiently deal with the problem. The
right system should provide safe waste containment to avoid direct contact with
users and equipment. The system should also eliminate the escape of hazardous
VOC vapors, thereby protecting the health of lab personnel. Such an ideal
solution to the waste containment challenge will allow you to focus on the
success of you HPLC operations knowing that your lab property and people are
safe. The
challenges of how to safely contain HPLC waste are real. Many labs settle for
using make-shift collection vessels, unaware that there is a superior solution
to ensure waste is dealt with safely, efficiently, and in-line with hazardous
waste storage regulations. This Whitepaper takes a closer look at the Solvent Waste Container System from Chrom
Tech designed to satisfy the needs for HPLC waste containment while helping to
meet safety requirements and the welfare of users in the lab.
