During the experiment, researchers will encounter exposure to laboratory dangerous goods. In addition to paying attention to the use of dangerous goods during operation, the proper collection and disposal of laboratory hazardous waste after use cannot be ignored.


Laboratory hazardous waste refers to waste and their pollutants that are harmful to human health, the environment or safety hazards generated while teaching and scientific research in laboratories or experimental sites.


Laboratory conventional hazardous waste is mainly divided into four categories: waste chemical reagents, barrel waste liquid, air reagent bottles and contaminated waste.


Four General methods of laboratory waste collection

1.     Classification collection method
Collected according to the category nature and status of the waste.
2.     Volume-by-volume collection method
Collected according to the category nature and status of the waste.
3.     Similar classification collection method
Similar wastes such as nature or disposal methods, methods, etc. should be collected.
4.     Separate collection method
Hazardous waste should be collected and treated separately.



However, in the process of experimental operation, the traditional garbage bin sometimes requires the operator to touch the lid with his hand, which is neither convenient nor guaranteed that the subsequent experimental operation is sterile during the experimental process. What should I do? 


The existence of small covered biohazard disposal can has well solved the temporary storage problem of waste on the experimental operating table.
