Green Technology and Green Business

Labcyte technology helps companies minimize their impact on our natural environment by eliminating or reducing toxic chemicals, toxic waste, medical waste and the use of water and plastics. Our technologies help companies lower their carbon footprint while, at the same time, save money.

Users of our “touchless” Echo 500 series liquid handlers reap environmental benefits in two ways:
  • By eliminating hundreds of thousands of pipette tips and intermediate dilution plates, they dramatically reduce solid waste that would end up in landfills or being destroyed by incineration
  • By eliminating solvent washings and facilitating smaller volume assays, they reduce toxic waste by hundreds of barrels per year, helping to save our waterways.
  • In typical pharmaceutical industry usage, each Echo 500 series system can reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 20 metric tons or more.
Our Deerac products are non-contact with fixed rather than disposable tips and also help minimize solid wastes.

The Labcyte commitment to improving our environment goes beyond the products we sell. Labcyte has been commended by the County of Santa Clara, California and certified by t
he Santa Clara County Green Business Program as a "Green Business" for our actions to reduce energy and water use, recycle as much as possible of our waste stream (including paper, glass and plastics), implement gray-water irrigation, minimize solid waste from our business, and support alternative commuting.
