Wear Your 3 Gs: Goggles, Gloves & Gear! Always keep your eyes and hands protected when you work with chemicals, and wear appropriate body gear (lab coat, apron, booties, hair net, etc.)
Know the Emergency Plan: Where is the eyewash station? Where is the fire extinguisher? Where do you meet in case of evacuation? Know appropriate procedures for emergencies, including the location and operation of all emergency equipment.
Contain Yourself: Tie back your hair and restrict loose clothing. Loose hair, jewelry and clothing can interfere with your workspace and cause potentially dangerous situations.
Beware of Cross-Contamination: Keep a waste container close. Walking across the lab to dispose of contaminated gloves or trash can expose the entire lab to dangerous chemical and biological agents. Place a small waste container in every fume hood or bench top to prevent cross contamination and empty it regularly.
Don't Risk It! Never EVER pipet by mouth. Even if you think you can do it, consider what could happen if someone bumps you accidentally!
Assume that unfamiliar and unlabeled chemicals are hazardous. Never use unlabeled chemicals or chemicals whose labeling is unclear.
How to treat chemicals:
Read all bottle labels carefully.
Take only what is needed.
Never return the unused portion of a chemical to the original bottle. Dispose of the excess properly.
Review the safety and health hazard data of all chemicals used in the laboratory. Learn the signs and symptoms of overexposure and the physical and sensory characteristics (odor, appearance) of these chemicals.
Play it safe. When working with hazardous materials, have a second person nearby, or maintain surveillance by telephone contact.
Breathe Easy. Use hazardous chemicals in a chemical fume hood whenever possible.
Keep it working. Maintain equipment and inspect it regularly for proper function.
Use safety shields when there is a possibility for explosion or implosion.
Always dispose of chemicals as directed, placing them in the proper labeled waste container; do NOT overfill the waste container. Discard broken glassware only in a properly labeled waste container.
Don't Pollute! NEVER pour chemical waste materials into the sink!
Do not use chipped or cracked glassware. Use extreme caution when handling glassware of any kind.
Report all accidents Even when they do not cause injuries. Report to the laboratory supervisor and/or EH&S immediately.
Frequently Asked Questions
Assess your fluid handling volumes, sterility requirements, compatibility with solvents or reagents, and workflow endpoints. Foxx’s technical support team can assist in selecting assemblies and filtration components suited to your process.
Biotech, pharmaceutical manufacturing, vaccine production, research laboratories, clinical development, and diagnostic centres widely use Foxx single-use systems and consumables.
Yes. With global manufacturing facilities and strict quality control, Foxx products meet regulatory requirements in major markets including the US, EU, and Asia for scientific, clinical, and manufacturing applications.
Labs should follow regulatory guidelines for sterility assurance levels, validate fluid handling pathways, perform risk assessments per relevant standards (e.g., FDA, USP), and maintain traceability documentation for audit readiness. (Industry practice)
Yes. The company’s cleanroom manufacturing and quality certifications make its products suitable for Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) environments where sterility and documentation standards are required.
Foxx Life Sciences offers Autofil® 2, EZlabpure™ and APEX™ bottle top filters, EZlabpure™ and EZFlow syringe filters, membrane disc filters, vent filters, and cell strainers engineered for high-purity filtration in analytical labs, bioprocessing, and cell culture workflows.
Foxx stands out for its ISO-certified quality, USP Class VI materials, extensive SKU portfolio with patented designs, rapid shipment, and global manufacturing footprint, providing superior compliance, performance, and cost value.
Foxx offers custom single-use solutions and assemblies designed to meet unique workflow requirements, enabling bespoke fluid paths, connectors, and tailored assemblies to optimize specific lab processes.
Standard Foxx products typically ship within 24–48 hours, while Made-to-Order (MTO) or custom SUT assemblies generally ship in 4–6 weeks, balancing speed with tailored specifications.
Single-use systems reduce contamination risk, eliminate cleaning and sterilization validation needs, cut turnaround times, lower labour and water use, and improve overall operational efficiency.
Foxx products are manufactured under ISO 13485 quality management systems in ISO Class 7 certified cleanrooms, use USP Class VI materials, and many are FDA registered. This ensures reliability, compliance, and suitability for regulated environments.
Single-Use Technology refers to disposable fluid handling and storage assemblies used in biopharmaceutical manufacturing and labs that eliminate traditional cleaning and sterilization processes, reducing contamination risk and operational complexity.
Foxx Life Sciences provides a broad range of life science and bioprocess consumables, including single-use systems (SUS), custom tubing & bottle assemblies, filtration products, lab safety equipment, glassware, plasticware, caps & gaskets, connectors, vent filters, and stainless-steel components for research, biotech, and pharmaceutical applications.
