The future of lab efficiency and sustainability

Cost-effectiveness and durability redefined

Sustainable materials and design

Made from inhouse renewed materials

The Micronic EFC (Eco-Friendly Choice) Refill Rack offers an innovative, sustainable and cost-effective solution for modern laboratories. Comprised of a reusable base rack and cover, the system is made from 99% inhouse renewed materials, setting a new benchmark for eco-friendly labware. Designed to fit 1.40ml tubes in a 96-well format, the Micronic EFC Refill Rack supports both internal and external threaded tubes with screw or push caps, making it adaptable to a wide range of applications.

The sustainable materials and design that make the EFC Refill Rack are constructed from polypropylene (PP), a durable material that is not only long-lasting but also very easily recyclable. This thoughtful design ensures that both the base rack and cover are reusable and easy to recycle, reducing waste in laboratories. Unlike the traditional racks, the EFC system allows labs to reuse the base and cover multiple times, while simply replacing the tube refills as needed. This extends the products lifespan and decreases material consumption.

In a time where sustainable practices are becoming a priority across industries, the Micronic EFC Refill Rack offers an effective response to growing regulatory, customer, and environmental demands. By using 99% renewed materials, the refill system minimizes the environmental impact of laboratory operations. Compared to conventional racks, the EFC Refill Rack reduces eco-costs by 61% and lowers the carbon footprint by an impressive 69%. These reductions reflect the system’s positive environmental contributions throughout its entire lifecycle.

The EFC Refill Rack has been rigorously tested and certified with the ACT label, an independent verification that underscores its sustainability credentials. This certification attests to the products low environmental impact, with the Environmental Impact Factor (EIF) of the EFC Refill Rack rated at 23.9, an improvement over previous products, which had a score of 32.8. This certification further assures customers that they are making a responsible choice for both their lab and the environment.

Embracing automation

Besides the countless sustainable and cost benefits, the EFC Refill Rack is also automation-friendly and easy to integrate into any lab. Designed with modern laboratory workflows in mind, the Micronic EFC Refill Rack is fully automation compatible. Its ANSI/SLAS footprint ensures seamless integration into automated systems. The inclusion of a 1D barcode and human-readable code on the side of the rack provides reliable traceability, enabling both visual identification and automated tracking during high-throughput processes. This ensures that lab efficiency remains uncompromised while promoting sustainable practices.

Cost savings and efficiency

The Micronic EFC Refill Rack isn’t just better for the planet, its also more cost-effective. When comparing the use of 400 traditional racks to 40 EFC base racks with 360 refills, laboratories can experience savings of up to 47%. This translates into substantial long-term savings in both costs and resources, making the EFC Refill Rack a financially sound choice for any lab.
