Solvent emissions cause many occupational diseases, breakdowns, and malfunctions. Especially in instrumental analysis, failures can be costly if they result in interruptions and maintenance work. SCAT Safety Caps block solvent vapours and ensure clean, reliable analysis. It has never been so easy to protect your health and save costs at the same time.

The SCAT system blocks solvent vapours and keeps your eluents clean. It protects your health, environment and quality of your analytical results. The mixing ratio of your solvents stays stable, as there is no evaporation.

Important to know:

  • Workspace safety and risk of solvent vapours: Solvent vapours are toxic, flammable, and harmful to health. They escape even through smallest openings and leaks. During long-time exposure, even small concentrations in the laboratory air can cause serious health risks and damage.
     
  • Hermetically closed systems reduce emissions to zero: When extracting the eluent, the SCAT air valve ensures safe pressure equalisation to avoid underpressure during HPLC operation. On the waste side of your HPLC, the exhaust filter avoids overpressure inside the collecting container, and adsorbs vapours of solvents, acids and bases with a mix of 3 types of activated carbon.
     
  • The easiest way to ensure safety and quality for your HPLC lab: The SCAT System can be installed with a minimum of effort and cost, compared to the hassle of installing ventilation systems for each workplace. Discover the solution and upgrade your laboratory now to the latest safety standards.
