How should AVITI™/AVITI24™ cartridges with remaining liquid be disposed of after use?

Question:

How should AVITI/AVITI24 cartridges with remaining liquid be disposed of after use?

Answer:

After a completed run, cartridges retain some liquid and require proper disposal. The amount of liquid remaining varies depending on the run setup. We provide Safety Data Sheets (SDS) for your Environmental Health and Safety (EHS) department to assess the proper disposal method for your region.

Summary

• The cartridge lids are removable to allow access to individual wells for disposal when required
• View the SDS for your cartridge online, and use your EHS and follow region-specific guidance to ensure proper disposal of the cartridge contents
