News Highlights
In 2010 our commitment to sustainability led us to make one of the biggest investments in company history. We financed and installed an 800kw rooftop solar array that went live in June 2011.
That system now produces almost one third of the power consumed by Labcon. Today, you can see Labcon products carry the "Made with Solar Power™" trademark. This use of Solar power helps us to reduce our overall carbon footprint.
Unlike what you might think, plastics do age. And over time they become less pliable. So old pipet tips will no longer fit your pipettors in the same way they did when they were freshly made. And tubes may not close as well, or start to leak.
Many suppliers hide the manufacturing date on their products or don't have one at all, or even will tell you that plastic never changes. But just like everything plastic resins age and do not perform as well after two or three years.
Labcon date and lot codes all of our disposable products. Even our non sterile items. So you can be sure the products you get will perform well on your equipment.
UL-DQS certified the Labcon quality management system in compliance with the latest ISO Quality Standard ISO 9001:2008 after the close of the 6 month audit cycle of the company's program in 2010.
This represents the latest in 15 years of continuous quality accreditation for Labcon to the international ISO standards.
Labcon celebrated 50 years of continuous operation in February 2009.
The anniversary was marked with a company-wide party and presentation highlighting the past 50 years of Labcon history.
