Great Lakes Filters collaborated with a leading supplier in the Pharmaceutical/Life Science market to address a critical health and safety need within laboratory environments. The client required a reliable solution to mitigate the risks posed by formaldehyde fumes during tissue sample examinations. These fumes, emitted from tissue samples preserved in formaldehyde solutions, are highly noxious and known carcinogens, posing a significant hazard to lab technicians’ health. Without an effective method to neutralize these vapors, technicians would be exposed to harmful fumes in the laboratory, jeopardizing safety and potentially violating workplace safety regulations. The client faced operational challenges in supplying biopsy kits that met global safety and compliance standards. They needed a pad that not only absorbed and neutralized formaldehyde vapors effectively, but also integrated seamlessly into their biopsy kits for distribution worldwide. Great Lakes Filters developed a specialized absorbent pad featuring a unique composite material, addressing the client’s critical safety requirements. By handling the production, cutting, and packaging of these pads, Great Lakes Filters enabled the client to provide a safer, globally compliant biopsy kit to their customers while reducing operational complexities.
