🔍 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.
