As the need to shift to more sustainable practices becomes increasingly urgent, what can you do to lower your lab’s carbon footprint? At Azenta, we’re on a journey with our customers to bring the most impactful solutions in the shared goal of reducing our carbon footprint and driving maximum sustainability.
Maximizing storage space through consolidation and re-organization can significantly decrease energy consumption, while effective sample management systems are instrumental in achieving sustainability goals by streamlining processes and reducing sample waste.
Implementing regular maintenance for your cold storage units prevents unnecessary energy loss, ensuring that equipment operates at peak efficiency. These practices not only save energy but also contribute to the longevity of equipment. Embracing new technologies that enable higher density storage with lower energy requirements is impactful, and implementing advanced inventory systems minimizes waste by improving sample tracking and mitigating energy loss through repeated freezer door opening.
Overall, each step toward sustainability in lab practices, from optimized storage management to energy-efficient technologies, is a stride towards a more sustainable future in scientific research.
