Hi, all,
I am searching for alternatives on behalf of a research group whose current practice is to invert columns with wet chromatography media over old shipping cans in fume hoods. The issues are:
- that the media is not readily transferable when it is wet
- that the open can will be characterized as a violation by an environmental inspector since this is disposal by evaporation into exhaust.
Any alternatives you've encountered or experiences with environmental inspection verdicts on these would help immensely.
Thanks,
