Should governments mandate the use of sustainable refrigerants in clinical and laboratory equipment?
Resonant Clinical Solutions and Haier Biomedical have released the LX-60T100R benchtop centrifuge, a device engineered to use hydrocarbon cooling. This move allows the companies to comply with upcoming global legislation restricting fluorinated greenhouse gases in laboratory equipment.
Why it matters
The centrifuge was designed to address regulatory constraints regarding the global warming potential of laboratory refrigerants. By adopting natural cooling agents, the product assists clinical trial sponsors in meeting their environmental sustainability goals.
The currently available model operates at 220-240 V AC, with a 110 V AC version slated for release in Q1 2027. Resonant holds exclusive rights for the global clinical trials market, excluding China.
