Choosing the right sustainable lab equipment can be a complex decision. That’s why SelectScience® lab product reviews can be a valuable tool, enabling you to make an informed choice and hear what other scientists have to say. 

Recently, we launched our Lab Sustainability Special Feature, so we’ve pulled together some reviews on laboratory instrumentation and essential equipment that has sustainable features to help your lab contribute to a more sustainable future. From cell counting to nitrogen generation, find out what kind of experiences other researchers and laboratory technicians have had with these products. Plus, we detail why these products deserve to be highlighted for their sustainability. 

“Very high reproducibility across operators. Much faster than manual counting. Fluorescence measurement is also very convenient to quickly assess transfection efficiency. Even more impressive than the product is the technical support.” Jean Peccoud, Colorado State University.

“I switched from using the grip tips with the hard-shell box to the soft-shell ECO grip tips and I love them. They use less plastic and INTEGRA has done a great job filling orders, even with the difficulties that the pandemic has placed upon them.” Kari Jones, Ceva. 

The CellDrop™ Cell Counters from DeNovix allow users to Count Cells Without Slides™. This feature eliminates the use of plastic slides and cumbersome hemocytometers from routine cell counting, resulting in reduced plastic consumption. And the ECO Rack GripTips™ for Handheld Pipettes from INTEGRA Biosciences contain 60% less waste than alternative racks.

“We use the generator with a LC/MS system and it surprised me with the ease of use, with little user interaction.” Eduardo Leseux, EcoCerta Analises Ambientais Ltda. 

“I love that there is a visible commitment to reducing waste to our planet and that their tips and tubes are certified under the ACT Environmental Impact Labels.” Mary Bary, Mayo Clinic. 

The Genius XE nitrogen generator from PEAK Scientific has Eco Electronic Compressor Optimization™ technology, meaning it not only has enhanced compressor performance, but also has low energy consumption levels. Labcon® North America designs lab products with sustainability in mind, and the Eclipse™ Refills Pipette Tips are a great example of this and can help reduce waste in your lab.

“It is easy to use and program. The flexible rack system lets us set up the most efficient system to clean the glassware without running multiple loads.” Sonia Odell, Fox Metro WRD. 

“This has almost paid for itself in 6 months and will start saving us money on tips as well as the environment, as we will cut down on plastic waste.” Dawn Macdonald, Cross Cancer Institute.

The PG 8583 CD Laboratory Glassware Washer by Miele Professional was recently recertified with the ACT® Label – the premier eco-nutrition label for laboratory products, which emphasizes accountability, consistency, and transparency (ACT) around manufacturing, energy and water use, packaging, and end-of-life. The TipNovusMini™ by Grenova, an automated pipette tip washer, can reduce cost and waste due to its small footprint.
