Micronic introduces sustainable sample storage solution
New refill rack system aims to reduce laboratory waste
Micronic, a Dutch laboratory equipment manufacturer, has expanded its Eco-Friendly Choice (EFC) product line with the introduction of the EFC Refill Rack. This new system, designed for sample processing and storage, comprises a reusable base rack and cover, along with a refill system made from 99% in-house renewed materials.
Innovative design for sustainability
The EFC Refill Rack is constructed with polypropylene (PP) base and cover components, chosen for their durability and recyclability. The refill system utilises renewed materials sourced from Micronic’s production facility in the Netherlands, undergoing rigorous quality control to maintain product integrity. According to Micronic, the EFC Refill Rack offers significant environmental benefits. The company reports a 61% reduction in eco-costs after 10 uses and a 69% lower carbon footprint compared to traditional alternatives. These figures suggest potential for laboratories seeking to minimise their environmental impact.
Technical specifications
The EFC Refill Rack is designed to operate within a temperature range of -80°C to +100°C, accommodating various laboratory conditions. It is currently available in a 96-well format for 1.40ml tubes, compatible with
both internally and externally threaded tubes using screw or push caps.
The EFC Refill Rack joins Micronic’s existing EFC Rack Range, which includes the EFC Racks RM launched earlier this year. Both product lines emphasise the use of renewed materials in their construction.
