SCAT Americas Sets the Standard for Safe and Compliant Liquid Waste Handling in Laboratories

As laboratories continue to navigate the demands of safety, efficiency, and regulatory compliance, SCAT Americasstands at the forefront, offering innovative solutions for liquid waste handling that protect people, equipment, and the environment. With decades of experience and German-engineered systems, SCAT is helping North American labs take a smarter, safer approach to solvent waste disposal.

Whether in pharma, biotech, academia, or contract labs, liquid chromatography and analytical processes generate hazardous solvent waste. Improper handling of this waste can lead to harmful vapor exposure, environmental violations, and equipment contamination. SCAT Americas provides closed, modular waste handling systems that solve these challenge without disrupting existing workflows.

Comprehensive Safety from the Solvent Source to Final Disposal

SCAT Americas offers a full range of products designed to manage liquid waste generated during HPLC, GC, and other analytical applications. This includes:

  • Safety Waste Caps (S-Caps):
    These patented caps create a gas-tight seal on solvent containers while allowing multiple lines to pass through. They prevent the escape of harmful vapors, maintain system pressure balance, and keep out contamination.

  • Exhaust Filters:
    Built with activated carbon, SCAT filters neutralize toxic fumes before they can escape into the lab environment. A smart color indicator lets users know when it’s time for a replacement.

  • Closed Waste Containers:
    From 2-liter bottles to 25-liter canisters, SCAT provides safe, leakproof, and compliant waste containers that are compatible with nearly any setup. Each container features labeling for chemical tracking and risk assessment.

  • Level Monitoring Sensors:
    Non-contact optical sensors give a visual and audible alert when waste containers are nearing full capacity—preventing dangerous overflows and simplifying change-outs.

  • Adapters and Connection Kits:
    SCAT’s universal adapters allow seamless connection to almost any tubing or lab equipment, ensuring easy and flexible installation without the need for customized fittings.
