Although small and seemingly insignificant, discarding pipette tips can have an enormous impact on a laboratory’s carbon footprint. Recent research conducted by Grenova Inc. has shown that the company’s pipette tip cleaners effectively clean tips without carryover and decrease a company’s carbon footprint by 93% per wash. In addition, if a 96-count rack of standard, polypropylene-made pipette tips are washed with a Tipnovus, a laboratory’s carbon footprint will be decreased by 15.18 lbs. per 10-minute wash cycle. So why has every pharmaceutical, biotechnological, and clinical lab not adopted this technology yet in 2020?  [Read More](https://blog.grenova.com/blog/driverless-cars-and-automated-pipette-tip-washing-have-more-in-common-than-you-think) 0 Comments [Click here to read/write comments](https://blog.grenova.com/blog/driverless-cars-and-automated-pipette-tip-washing-have-more-in-common-than-you-think#comments-listing) Tags: [GrenovaRevolution](https://blog.grenova.com/blog/tag/grenovarevolution), [SMARTer](https://blog.grenova.com/blog/tag/smarter), [Laboratory Automation](https://blog.grenova.com/blog/tag/laboratory-automation), [Carbon Footprint](https://blog.grenova.com/blog/tag/carbon-footprint) ## [Grenova's Ergonomically Friendly Products Minimize Physical Stress on Employees](https://blog.grenova.com/blog/grenovas-ergonomically-friendly-products-minimize-physical-stress-on-employees) Posted by [Spencer Conti](https://blog.grenova.com/blog/author/spencer-conti) on Jul 6, 2020 9:43:50 AM - [Tweet](https://twitter.com/share) [![Grenova's Ergonomically Friendly Products Minimize Physical Stress on Employees](https://blog.grenova.com/hubfs/attachment.jpeg)](https://blog.grenova.com/blog/grenovas-ergonomically-friendly-products-minimize-physical-stress-on-employees) Now more than ever, businesses around the world are placing a premium on keeping not only the environment and planet healthy, but employees as well. Pipette manufacturer Sartorius details that more than 40% of lab professionals suffer from pipetting-caused disorders. In the industries where lab technicians work such as education, healthcare, medicine, and biology, injuries associated with repetitive tasks like pipetting are on the rise.   [Read More](https://blog.grenova.com/blog/grenovas-ergonomically-friendly-products-minimize-physical-stress-on-employees) 0 Comments [Click here to read/write comments](https://blog.grenova.com/blog/grenovas-ergonomically-friendly-products-minimize-physical-stress-on-employees#comments-listing) Tags: [SMARTer](https://blog.grenova.com/blog/tag/smarter), [Pipette Tips](https://blog.grenova.com/blog/tag/pipette-tips), [Laboratory Automation](https://blog.grenova.com/blog/tag/laboratory-automation), [Workplace Culture](https://blog.grenova.com/blog/tag/workplace-culture) ## [Grenova to Participate in the 270 Research Corridor Biomedical Equipment & Supplies Event at Johns Hopkins University](https://blog.grenova.com/blog/grenova-to-participate-in-the-270-research-corridor-biomedical-equipment-supplies-event-at-johns-hopkins-university) Posted by [Grenova Team](https://blog.grenova.com/blog/author/grenova-team) on Jun 12, 2019 4:29:58 PM - [Tweet](https://twitter.com/share) [![Grenova to Participate in the 270 Research Corridor Biomedical Equipment & Supplies Event at Johns Hopkins University](https://blog.grenova.com/hubfs/6W4A4141-2.jpg)](https://blog.grenova.com/blog/grenova-to-participate-in-the-270-research-corridor-biomedical-equipment-supplies-event-at-johns-hopkins-university) Grenova is proud to join the Technical Sales Association at the “270 Research Corridor” Biomedical Equipment and Supplies Exhibit at Johns Hopkins University, Montgomery County Campus.
