The Solvent Sentry™
Level Sensors
Get notified of dangerous waste solvent overflows before they happen.
No More Surprises!
Many labs collect waste chromatography solvents in carboys, bottles or Justrite® safety cans. Although the walls of all these containers are translucent, it’s hard to see the fluid level inside, especially when containers are stored in dimly lit areas under the lab benches. With multiple containers in use at once, it’s easy for one to overflow leading to safety violations, paperwork and cleanup.
The Solvent Sentry™ suite of products are easy-to-use waste level detector systems that alert labs before dangerous and toxic waste solvent overflows occur.
Features and Benefits
Quick Install - Solvent Sentry Waste Level Sensors attach to a wide range of waste containers either by screwing into the cap (see our Solvent Safety Catalog below) or by hanging on the outside of the container.
Easy Configuration - The sensors and hubs pair or unpair with a single button. One hub can pair to multiple sensors and acts as a centralized alert system.
Real Time Alerts - As the waste solvent container begins to fill, the Solvent Sentry continually monitors the solvent waste level inside.
Multi Alert System - The sensor on the waste container and the remote hub both alert with an alarm and red flashing light as the container fills.
Convenience - Sensors and hubs can be located up to 150 feet apart including on different floors.
Durability - The sensors are ruggedly constructed and made from solvent-resistant materials.
Solvent Sentry™
For use with carboy containers and threaded bottles
The Solvent Sentry, uses a float switch and is designed to be used on a variety of carboys and threaded bottles. See our Solvent Safety catalog below for a selection of sensor-compatible manifold caps.
Solvent Safety Catalog
Many lab instruments (such as HPLC, LC-MS,
FPLC, ICP, and others) require use of volatile organic solvents which can be health and safety concerns for those working in proximity to these machines.
Because these are “active” systems — pumping solvent from one reservoir to the instrument and then to waste — a containment solution for both pure reagents and waste effluent must allow for air flow in or out of containers, while mitigating both evaporation and solvent fumes.
The products listed in this catalog provide a closed-system solution to this problem.
Solvent Sentry™ X
For use with Justrite® Safety Containers.
The Solvent Sentry X hangs from a strap on the outside of the Justrite can and uses capacitive level sensing to monitor the fluid level inside the can once every nine minutes.
