Beckman Coulter Life Sciences and Polycarbin partner to lead lab sustainability innovation

Beckman Coulter Life Sciences, a global leader in laboratory automation and innovation, has announced a strategic partnership with Polycarbin, a leader in sustainable laboratory solutions, to drive a paradigm shift in lab sustainability for liquid handling automation plastics.

This collaboration combines the experience of Beckman Coulter Life Sciences in automated liquid handling with Polycarbin’s sustainability-focused circular economy platform for laboratory plastics.

Together, they are committed to achieving two key objectives in the United States:

• Closed-loop recycling solutions: Polycarbin aims to expand its closed-loop recycling solutions to a wider audience of researchers. This initiative focuses on diverting lab plastics away from landfills and incinerators, keeping these materials within the supply chain for recycling and reuse.
• Low-carbon lab products: Together, Polycarbin and Beckman Coulter Life Sciences are spearheading the development of a groundbreaking line of low-carbon lab consumables. Crafted from recycled materials, these products reduce our dependence on fossil fuels, thus making scientific research more sustainable. By imbuing every product with third-party verified sustainability metrics, Polycarbin and Beckman Coulter Life Sciences are empowering their customers to transform their consumables budget into their sustainability budget.

This partnership accentuates the commitment of both organizations to empower researchers, drive sustainability, and create a positive impact on the scientific community and the environment.
