Waste Collection caps

Solvent Waste Collection: safe storage of chemical waste

Managing liquid waste from HPLC, LC-MS and FPLC systems is often underestimated. Open waste containers or makeshift covers lead to a constant emission of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) into your work environment. The LabLids Waste Collection systems from Inacom offer a dynamic solution for the safe collection of solvent waste.

Thanks to the closed system design with integrated emission control, you not only protect your staff against harmful vapours, but also prevent leaks and spills when moving waste containers.

How it works: controlled emission

An effective waste system must strike a balance between containing vapours and preventing pressure build-up in the container. LabLids solves this with three crucial components:

1. Exhaust filters: High-grade activated carbon filters that adsorb solvent vapours while air can escape from the container. Available with handy time indicators for timely replacement.
2. Multi-port manifolds: Made of PTFE or polypropylene. These manifolds allow multiple waste streams (from different instruments or drip trays) to flow into one container simultaneously through leak-free connections.
3. Vapour-tight seal: Instead of foil or tape, LabLids uses screw caps with precision inserts that seal the container 100% airtight around the tubing.

Custom solutions for every waste container

Just like the extraction caps, the waste range is available for a huge variety of containers:

Key benefits

• Minimise exposure: Keep harmful vapours and unpleasant odours out of your analysts' breathing zone.
• No leaks or drips: The tubing is firmly fixed in the ports, preventing spills during use or transport.
• Fire safety: A closed system lowers the concentration of flammable vapours in the lab.
• Durability: The filters are easy to replace, while the robust manifolds last for years.

Advice for your waste management

First, we take stock of the number of liquid streams you want to combine. Next, we advise on the right filter capacity based on your solvent consumption.
