HPLC Solvent Containment

HPLC Solvent Waste Kits

Chrom Tech offers complete HPLC solvent waste containment systems engineered to improve laboratory safety, reduce vapor exposure, and support environmental compliance. Built around rugged Justrite Safety Containers (available in 2- or 5-gallon capacities), these kits provide a reliable, centralized solution for collecting liquid chromatography waste.

Each solvent waste kit arrives fully configured with dual Quick Connect ports and essential accessories to simplify installation and streamline disposal workflows. By capturing solvent vapors and consolidating multiple instrument lines into a single container, these systems help maintain a cleaner lab environment while minimizing spill risk.

Standard kits include a reusable filter adapter, organic vapor filter, 6-port waste manifold, and a tubing connection kit—allowing you to route waste from multiple LC instruments into one sealed container. This modular design supports flexible bench layouts and scalable lab configurations.

Whether you’re upgrading an existing setup or implementing a new LC workstation, Chrom Tech solvent waste kits deliver dependable containment, simplified plumbing, and safer solvent handling—helping laboratories operate efficiently while protecting personnel and equipment.

HPLC Waste to Drum System

Chrom Tech offers the All-Flo Pump System as a streamlined solution for transferring HPLC solvent waste from bench-top containers directly to centralized storage drums. This closed-loop approach helps laboratories reduce manual handling, limit vapor exposure, and improve overall waste management efficiency.

Designed for safe, hands-free operation, the system enables continuous solvent transfer using compressed air—eliminating the need for lifting heavy containers or performing frequent bottle changes. By moving waste directly into bulk drums, labs can minimize spill risk while maintaining a cleaner, more organized workspace.

The Waste to Drum System integrates easily with existing solvent waste setups and supports scalable laboratory layouts, making it ideal for high-throughput LC environments. Its chemical-resistant construction ensures compatibility with common chromatography solvents while delivering dependable performance in demanding analytical workflows.

Whether you’re upgrading from individual waste bottles or implementing centralized solvent disposal, Chrom Tech’s HPLC Waste to Drum System provides a safer, more efficient way to manage liquid chromatography waste—helping protect personnel while simplifying daily lab operations.

Frequently Asked Questions ▶
Why use an HPLC solvent waste kit instead of an open waste bottle?
Closed solvent waste kits help reduce solvent vapor exposure, minimize spill risk, and improve day-to-day lab safety. Many systems also consolidate multiple instrument waste lines into a single sealed container for cleaner bench organization.
What does an organic vapor filter do on a solvent waste container?
An organic vapor filter helps capture solvent fumes (volatile organic compounds) released from collected waste. This can reduce odors and improve air quality around LC benches, especially in high-throughput environments.
How many instruments can connect to a 6-port waste manifold?
A 6-port manifold typically supports up to six individual waste lines (depending on your tubing configuration), allowing multiple LC modules or multiple instruments to drain into one sealed waste container.
What container size should I choose: 2-gallon or 5-gallon?
Choose a 2-gallon container for lower daily waste volume or limited under-bench space. Choose 5-gallon for higher-throughput LC use, fewer change-outs, and centralized waste collection. Many labs size based on total flow rate, run time, and how often they want to swap containers.
When should I use a waste-to-drum transfer system?
A waste-to-drum system is ideal when you want to reduce manual bottle changes and move waste directly into a central drum. This is especially useful for high-throughput labs, multi-instrument LC rooms, or setups where minimizing lifting and solvent exposure is a priority.
