Description
Safety Waste Cap B53 Type 2 is a specialised closure for the safe collection of HPLC solvent waste. Made from chemically resistant polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), it provides three ports for tubing of 2,3/3,2 mm outer diameter, one flexible connection for 5,0–11,5 mm inner diameter lines, a grounding connection and a dedicated port for an exhaust filter. The 360° freely rotatable PTFE body allows quick container changes while tubing remains fixed, saving time in routine laboratory work. This SCAT component effectively retains toxic vapours and prevents gas escape during liquid-waste collection, supporting operator protection when handling hazardous solvents. High resistance to aggressive media suits demanding HPLC waste streams. A wide choice of thread sizes across the system fits waste containers from many manufacturers. The filter port accepts SCAT high-performance exhaust filters V3.0, completing a flexible solvent-safety arrangement for analytical and preparative chromatography workflows that require reliable containment of harmful liquids and fumes.

What is this article?

A solvent waste cap and a safety funnel close a waste can so vapour does not fill the room, while still letting waste be poured in. The thread has to match the can. A filter and a level indicator are common features. An open beaker of waste solvent is not this article.
Laboratory waste is sorted before it is carried away. A solvent waste can has a cap and often a funnel that limits vapour. A sharps container is rigid and closable. An autoclave bag is for material that will be sterilised before it is ordinary waste. The container has to survive the chemical that goes into it. A bag that dissolves is not a container. Classification of the chemicals is on ECHA. Transport of dangerous goods is the UNECE framework. Workplace practice is EU-OSHA.
