Minimizing hazardous materials and hazardous waste in the lab is a win for both safety and the environment. Fewer hazards can lower exposure risk for lab personnel and reduce costs for hazardous waste disposal.
We have rigorously evaluated products to ensure they meet at least one of the following standards.
With this in mind, we've put together a list of less hazardous green solutions and "greenlight" our key products, along with how to make greener choices, below.
Making greener choices often involves a process of comparing different products to select the one that provides the greatest environmental benefit. The nonprofit organization My Green Lab has created a tool to make it easier to do just that—they have developed the ACT Label.
SYBR Safe stain was developed specifically to be a safer alternative for staining DNA in agarose and acrylamide gels compared to conventional nucleic acid stains such as ethidium bromide. It was evaluated by four independent testing services, who determined it to be nontoxic and noncarcinogenic. Since it’s classified as nonhazardous waste, SYBR Safe DNA Gel Stain:
We partnered with My Green Lab to evaluate SYBR Safe DNA Gel Stain, resulting in an ACT sustainability label being applied to the product.

Wet transfer of proteins from mini gels to membranes requires use of a methanol-based transfer buffer. Methanol is a highly flammable solvent that is toxic. The Mini Blot Module wet transfer device enables efficient, reliable transfer of proteins from mini gels to membranes and requires less methanol-based transfer buffer.

Discover how we, along with our customers, are trying to make every day Earth Day. Learn about our pillars of sustainability, which includes: less waste, less hazardous, energy efficient and sustainable packaging.
Hear from Cristina Amorim, VP of EHS & Sustainability as she shares ways in which we're taking steps towards serving our customers in sustainable ways, including: 14 zero waste-certified facilities and a recent commitment to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 30% by 2030.
Did you know freezers and fridges make up for most of a lab’s energy use? Learn what we mean by “energy efficient” and things you can do now to save energy.
Packaging design must consider how to protect the product and minimize impact on the environment. We’re started using 100% recyclable paper coolers for cold shipping and that’s only the beginning.
We have criteria for what “less waste” means, and it’s more than reducing what gets sent to landfills. Find out how we evaluate minimizing waste in the lab.
