LABORATORY GADGETS

ALCOHOL RECYCLING SYSTEMS
The GRAC* (Gravity Recycling Alcohol Cartridge) slashes the cost of alcohol by allowing simple and easy recycling of tissue processing and staining alcohols by means of gravity. No electricity. No heat. Small footprint. Saves time, money and space!

Gravity Recycling Alcohol Cartridge
(GRAC) Ideal for Histology and Cytology labs that are only recycling alcohol from a staining setup. Removes stains, dyes and small particulates from reagent alcohol. Flow rate thruough cartridge is 1 gallon/45 - 60 minutes and will recycle 125 to 150 gallons per cartridge.

Gravity Recycling Alcohol Cartridge, Tissue Processor (GRAC-TP)
Ideal for Histology labs that are recycling from both staining setups and tissue processors. Removes stains, dyes, lipids, salts & proteins from reagent alcohol. Also with its improved design, the flow rate is now equal to that of the GRAC-100 at 1 gallon/45 - 60 minutes and will recycle approximately 150 to 200 gallons per cartridge!
