Resource Efficient Lab Equipment

greenlabslogoWe are working together with VWR to identify environmentally preferable laboratory equipment and supplies, and to make this information available through the VWR Best Buy Guide, a green corner in VWR stockrooms (Biolabs, CCB) and on our website.  Look for the “Green Labs at Harvard” logo in the Best Buy Guide and the VWR Stockrooms the next time you are looking for lab supplies.

If you are looking for energy efficient centrifuges or bio-safety cabinets, refillable pipette boxes, mercury-free electrodes, or end-of-life programs for your centrifuges or balances, check our list below. More information coming soon!
