Frequently asked
What size sharps container is this?
Standard 1-quart (about 0.95 liters). This is the most common bench-top size and fits under most fume hoods and bench edges. Larger institutional-grade containers are available on request — email [email protected].
Can I use this for chemotherapy or radioactive waste?
No. This container is for standard sharps (needles, syringes, scalpels, broken glass with biological residue). Chemotherapy and radioactive sharps require yellow and yellow-labeled containers respectively and separate disposal channels.
How do I dispose of a full sharps container?
Sharps disposal is regulated by state and municipality. Most research institutions have a medical-waste vendor (Stericycle, Daniels, MedPro) that picks up on schedule. Home research users can typically drop full containers at a participating pharmacy or use a mail-back service. Check your state's Department of Health for specifics.
How fast do you ship?
Orders placed before 3:00 PM Mountain Time on a business day ship the same day. Standard shipping is $6.95 flat, or free on orders over $75.
