HPLC - Supply

Solvent Supply for Chromatography
Overview
HPLC-Supply covers the safe, contamination-free extraction and delivery of solvents from storage bottles to HPLC instruments. SCAT’s systems are designed to protect solvent purity and prevent solvent vapour release while keeping your instrument lines sealed and tidy.
  • SafetyCaps (SCAT Safety Cap)
    Hermetic screw caps (GL-threads e.g. GL45) with tubing ports. 
  • Air valves / vent valves
    Allow pressure equalization without vapour escape. 
  • Supply Sets / Starter Kits
    Pre-configured bottle + cap + capillaries + suction filters for plug-and-play setups. 
  • Capillaries, suction filters, manifolds
    For multi-solvent setups.
SafetyCaps seal bottles hermetically while providing defined feed ports for solvent lines; suction filters protect HPLC pumps from particulate; air valves equalize pressure safely. SCAT caps are commonly compatible with standard lab bottles (GL45/GL28 etc.).
  • Keeps solvents pure (prevents contamination).
  • Eliminates odour & vapour exposure for staff.
  • Reduces fire / health hazards near open solvent bottles.
  • Faster, cleaner HPLC line changeovers and tidy bench space.
  • Choose the correct thread size (GL45 is most common) and number/type of tubing ports required for your HPLC lines.
  • Use suction filters rated for your solvent and particle needs; replace per manufacturer's schedule.
  • Consider electrostatic conductive caps if working with flammable solvents in ATEX areas.

HPLC - Disposal

Safe Collection of Chromatographic Waste
Overview
HPLC-Disposal covers safe collection and controlled venting/filtration of HPLC waste solvents – from small collection bottles to centralized waste hubs. Key SCAT solutions focus on hermetic sealing plus exhaust filtration to trap solvent vapours.
  • Safety Waste Caps (e.g. “LISA” Series)
    Modular caps with multiple tube connectors, PFA/PTFE fittings, blind plugs for unused ports. (LISA is a flagship HPLC waste cap family). 
  • Universal Waste Hub “JAN”
    Compact hub combining funnel, cap connections and an exhaust filter for a universal waste point.
  • Waste Sets / Disposal Sets
    Kit packages including canister + cap + exhaust filter and tubing. 
  • Exhaust Filters (V3.0 Family, Sizes S/M/L)
    Replaceable activated carbon filters with change indicators. 
Waste caps like LISA provide configurable ports for multiple HPLC lines; the integrated exhaust filter allows pressure equalization while adsorbing solvent vapours — SCAT’s V3.0 filters use layered activated carbon optimized for common organic solvents and have tested adsorption performance. Regular filter replacements (service life guidance on product pages) are required.
  • Dramatically reduces lab vapour levels and odour.
  • Modular for labs with changing instrument counts.
  • Keeps waste sealed & non-odorous, aiding regulatory compliance.
  • Filters protect the workplace and minimize environmental emissions.
  • Match the waste cap model to your container thread (S50/S51/S60/S65/S90 etc.). LISA models are available for many thread sizes.
  • Choose exhaust filter size/type (S/M/L) based on flow and expected solvent load; follow replacement intervals and use change indicators.
  • Consider electrostatic conductive variants for flammable solvent streams.

Safety Funnels

Spill-free Filling & Sealed Transfer
Overview
Safety funnels allow safe transfer of liquids into collecting containers while preventing vapour escape and providing automatic closure (ball-valve) or hinged lids. SCAT offers several funnel families (e.g., MARCO, ARNOLD) with options for ball-valve or lid and electrostatic conductive materials.
  • ARNOLD Series (Ball Valve, Lid Variants)
    Multiple thread types and sizes. 
  • MARCO Funnel
    With hinged lid design. 
  • Funnel Sets
    Funnel + container + optional collecting tray for secondary containment.
Funnel designs include a screw connection to the container (GL45 / S-threads) and a closing mechanism (ball valve or lid) that automatically closes after filling, preventing vapour escape and reducing ignition risk. Materials commonly used: HDPE (optionally electrostatic conductive PE-HD) for chemical compatibility and antistatic properties.
  • Prevents spills & splashes during transfer.
  • Keeps harmful vapours contained.
  • Automatic closure adds redundancy (double security) if the lid is left open.
  • Electrostatic conductive options reduce static build-up for flammable liquids.
  • Pick funnel type by flow needs (ball valve reduces flow but gives secure closure; large barrel funnels may omit ball valve for higher flow).
  • Use funnel sets for a plug-and-play disposal point, and add a collecting tray for double containment.

Liquid Level Control

Overflow & Fill Monitoring
Overview
Level control systems warn or automatically act when waste containers reach high (or low) levels – preventing spills and interruptions. SCAT offers mechanical and electronic level sensors, signal devices, and ready sets.
  • Mechanical level indicators (float / color change mechanical indicators).
  • Electronic sensors / disc sensors for signal boxes and relay outputs. 
  • Signal devices / alarm boxes and complete level control sets. 
Mechanical systems use float indicators that give a visual red/green signal; electronic sensors monitor fill level and can trigger alarms, relay pumps, or shut valves. Many SCAT level control components are ATEX-rated or available in electrostatic conductive designs for hazardous areas.
  • Prevents overfill spills and lab contamination.
  • Enables hands-off waste management with alarms or automation.
  • Integration with SymLine / centralized disposal systems for safe operation.
  • For critical automation (e.g., remote canisters), use electronic sensors with relay outputs.
  • Mechanical indicators are simple and low maintenance for bench setups.

SCAT Containers

Bottles, Canisters & Collecting Vessels
Overview
SCAT offers a wide range of chemically resistant containers sized for bench to central collection (1 L up to 60 L), including electrostatic conductive options and designs compatible with SCAT closures.
  • Lab bottles (glass & break-proof glass) for solvent supply. 
  • Canisters (PE-HD / electrostatic conductive) for waste collection (available with level control options). 
  • Collecting trays & secondary containment for drip protection.
Containers are manufactured for chemical compatibility (PE-HD, glass for supply bottles) and designed to accept SCAT safety caps and funnels (standardized thread interfaces). Electrostatic conductive variants include earthing/grounding points for safe handling of flammable liquids.
  • Secure, compatible, and durable containers reduce breakage and leakage risk.
  • Match containers to your caps/funnels to ensure hermetic sealing and port compatibility.
  • Large canisters integrate directly with SymLine or central collection systems.
  • Use glass or break-proof glass bottles for solvent supply when solvent purity is critical; PE-HD or conductive canisters for disposal.
  • Pay attention to thread standards (GL45, S-series, etc.) for cap/funnel compatibility.

SCAT Accessories

Fittings, Adapters, Tubing, Grounding
Overview
Accessories let you build a tailored SCAT system: thread adapters, tubing connectors, blind plugs, manifolds, quick-lock fittings, capillaries, solvent filters, grounding/anti-static components, and spouts.
  • Thread adapters (convert between GL45 / S-threads / barrel threads). 
  • Tubing connectors (straight, curved), quick-lock connectors, capillary fittings for HPLC lines. 
  • Blind plugs, PTFE / PFA fittings for unused ports. 
  • Collectors / manifolds for combining multiple HPLC lines. 
  • Grounding/antistatic accessories for conductive parts.
  • Enables modular & flexible system builds that match any instrument configuration.
  • Spares & accessories mean longer service life and easier on-site repairs.
  • Grounding fittings mitigate static in flammable solvent applications.
  • Keep an accessory kit: common thread adapters, spare exhaust filters, blind plugs and tubing connectors.
  • Use PFA/PTFE fittings for aggressive solvents or high-purity needs.

Barrel Disposal

Drum / Large-Container Handling
Overview
Barrel disposal products let labs and plants connect SCAT safety funnels / level control to standard drums and barrels. These include dedicated barrel adapters, large ARNOLD funnels, and drum-compatible level indicators.
  • Barrel adapters (R2", tri-sure threads, etc.) to convert drum threads to GL45/SCAT funnels. 
  • Large ARNOLD funnels for barrels (hinged lids or ball valve variants). 
  • Mechanical level controls / floaters adapted for drum use.
Adapters screw into drum openings and provide a port for a GL45-style funnel or level indicator. Electrostatic conductive materials and grounding are common options for safety with flammable waste.
  • Safe, sealed transfer into large drums without vapour release.
  • Drum-grade level control prevents large spills and simplifies handling.
  • Compatible sets for high flow rates required when decanting large volumes.
  • Confirm your drum thread type (R2", BSP, TriSure) before ordering adapters.
  • For flammable waste choose electrostatic conductive adapters and connect grounding cables.

SymLine

Lab Installation & Centralized Waste Systems
Overview
SymLine is SCAT’s modular installation system for centralized liquid waste management. It connects multiple workstations (HPLC benches, fume hoods) to external canisters via piping, feedthroughs, and centralized ventilation — moving waste storage out of the immediate workspace for safety & space savings.
  • Feed throughs & table mounting systems for routing tubing through bench tops. 
  • Pipe/tube systems (fixed or flexible routing). 
  • Central canisters, collecting trays, safety waste caps integrated into the network. 
  • Ventilation / exhaust / level control devices designed to work with the installation.
SymLine is installed into lab furniture (bench feedthroughs drilled precisely), allowing HPLC supply and waste lines to be routed to a shared, centralized canister room. This reduces clutter, improves ergonomics, and isolates hazardous waste from active workspaces. SCAT also provides installation services.
  • Centralization increases safety (waste removed from immediate bench) and space efficiency.
  • Provides modular, scalable infrastructure for growing labs.
  • Easier regulatory control and housekeeping (fewer containers on benches).
  • SymLine requires planning during lab design or a retrofit plan with exact feedthrough positions - SCAT offers installation support.
  • Evaluate pipe diameters and flow requirements if disposing of viscous chemicals (SCAT has “High Flow” options).

Exhaust Filters (V3.0 etc.)

Important Consumable
Overview
SCAT’s exhaust filters (V3.0 family) are the consumable that makes sealed waste caps work: they adsorb solvent vapours while letting air equalize in the container. SCAT’s V3.0 filters use layered activated carbons and have tested adsorption performance for common organic solvents.
S / M / L sizes (for GL14 or other thread connectors), with indicator versions and economy packs.
  • High adsorption efficiency (SCAT reports lab-tested performance and vendors quote >90% adsorption for V3.0).
  • Change indicators make maintenance predictable.
  • Essential to keep a working environment odor-free and safe.
  • Replace per the service life guidelines shown for each filter (S/M/L have different lifetimes).
  • Keep spares on hand - filter changeouts are a common routine service item.
