Product Overview

The Whatman Benchkote Sheet for AKTA is engineered for superior bench protection in chromatography and general lab workflows. Made from highly absorbent, lint-free cellulose fibers, these sheets rapidly wick liquids, preventing spills from spreading while maintaining a clean workspace. Their fluid-resistant backing ensures no seepage, safeguarding sensitive equipment and samples. Chemically inert and compatible with most solvents, acids, and bases, Benchkote Sheets are ideal for use with AKTA systems, where precision and contamination control are critical. The sheets are disposable, reducing cross-contamination risks, and their uniform texture minimizes particle shedding, making them suitable for high-sensitivity applications. Whether used as a protective underlay during sample preparation or as a spill-containment barrier, these sheets enhance lab efficiency by reducing cleanup time. Their standardized dimensions fit seamlessly into lab benches, while the pack variations (pure, start, avant, go) cater to different workflow demands, from routine tasks to specialized chromatography processes. Durable yet lightweight, they balance absorbency with ease of handling, ensuring consistent performance across repeated uses.

FAQs

1. What is the difference between the pure, start, avant, and go variants of Whatman Benchkote Sheets?

The variants are optimized for specific AKTA system workflows. Pure is designed for high-purity applications, start for initial setup phases, avant for advanced chromatography, and go for rapid, general-purpose use. Each offers tailored absorbency and compatibility.

2. Can these sheets be used with organic solvents like acetone or methanol?

Yes, Whatman Benchkote Sheets are chemically inert and compatible with most organic solvents, including acetone, methanol, and ethanol, without degrading or leaching contaminants.

3. How should I dispose of used Benchkote Sheets after handling hazardous chemicals?

Dispose of them as hazardous waste if contaminated with toxic or biohazardous materials. Follow your lab?s protocol for chemical waste disposal, typically involving sealed containers and incineration or landfill as per local regulations.

4. Do these sheets leave residue or fibers on lab equipment?

No, the lint-free design ensures minimal particle shedding, reducing the risk of residue on equipment or samples, which is critical for sensitive applications like chromatography.

5. Are these sheets autoclavable for sterile applications?

Whatman Benchkote Sheets are not autoclavable. For sterile environments, use them in conjunction with sterile drapes or opt for pre-sterilized alternatives if absolute sterility is required.
