Yes — while RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) regulations primarily apply to electrical and electronic equipment, our chromatography syringes are manufactured in a way that aligns with RoHS principles.

🔍 What is RoHS?

RoHS is a European Union directive (Directive 2011/65/EU and its updates) that restricts the use of specific hazardous substances in electrical and electronic products. The goal is to reduce environmental and health risks associated with toxic materials.

🧪 Applicability to Chromatography Syringes

Although chromatography syringes are not classified as electrical or electronic devices, and therefore not directly subject to RoHS, we can confirm that:

  • Our syringes are produced without the intentional use of RoHS-restricted substances, including:
    • Lead (Pb)
    • Mercury (Hg)
    • Cadmium (Cd)
    • Hexavalent chromium (Cr⁶⁺)
    • Polybrominated biphenyls (PBB)
    • Polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDE)

This makes them suitable for laboratories that follow RoHS-aligned procurement policies or require low-toxicity materials in their workflows.

✅ Summary

  • RoHS does not apply directly to chromatography syringes.
  • However, our syringes are free from RoHS-restricted substances.
  • This supports safe use in environmentally conscious and regulated lab environments.
