Product Description
Keep infectious and contaminated lab waste contained from the moment it is generated until it comes out of the autoclave. This MTC Bio family covers every scale of disposal, from compact BenchBin™ containers for tips and tubes at the bench to floor-standing BowTie™ bins with hands-free foot pedals, plus matching bags, stands, starter kits and HotGuard™ gloves.
This listing is for MTC Bio catalog number A8401B, the BenchBin™ Benchtop Biohazard Bin. The BowTie™ bins are clearly printed with the biohazard symbol and use a touchless pedal lid, while BowTie™ polyethylene bags add drawstring loops that cinch shut, double as a carry handle and allow venting during sterilization, along with a color-changing indicator patch. The flat autoclave bags are heavy gauge polypropylene rated for autoclaving up to 136°C, with seamless bottoms, an oversized marking panel and OSHA-style biohazard printing. HotGuard™ gloves combine thick cowhide leather with a cotton lining and a 14 in. cuff for handling hot glass and metal. LIGHT LABS can help you choose the right MTC Bio format for your workflow.
