Additional Information
Manufacturing Impact Reduction
The Singapore facility that manufactures the Agilent 6546 LC/Q-TOF system has implemented measures within the past five years to reduce its energy and water usage. These initiatives include implementing an LED lighting retrofit, which was estimated to save over 775 MWh of electricity, and the installation of low-flow water fixtures.
Renewable Energy Use
The Singapore facility that manufactures the Agilent 6546 LC/Q-TOF system utilizes onsite renewable energy in the form of solar photovoltaics.
Responsible Chemical Management
The Singapore facility that manufactures the Agilent 6546 LC/Q-TOF system has implemented a robust EHS program, including ISO 14001 certification. Additionally, the Agilent 6546 LC/Q-TOF system is EU RoHS compliant and does not utilize any chemicals of concern.
Shipping Impact
The Agilent 6546 LC/Q-TOF system is manufactured in Singapore, distributed to the US market via Memphis, Tennessee, and distributed to the EU and UK markets via Waghäusel, Germany.
Product Content
The Agilent 6546 LC/Q-TOF system does not currently contain any sources of sustainable content.
Packaging Content
The Agilent 6546 LC/Q-TOF packaging system consists of wooden pallets, polyethylene foam, and corrugated cardboard containing 55% recycled material by weight. In total, the Agilent 6546 LC/Q-TOF packaging system contains almost 20% sustainable content by weight.
Energy Consumption
The Agilent 6546 LC/Q-TOF system energy consumption score represents the total energy consumption within a 24-hour period in which the device is used continuously for 8 hours, and in standby for the remaining 16 hours. Agilent followed the My Green Lab Energy Testing Methodology for Liquid Chromatography-Mass Spectrometer (LC-MS) and Standalone Mass Spectrometer (MS) Units for Gas Chromatography/Liquid Chromatography-Mass Spectrometer (GC/LC-MS). The protocol required that the system perform an autotune/self-calibration program to represent a typical use case scenario.
Water Consumption
The Agilent 6546 LC/Q-TOF system does not use water during its use phase.
Lifetime Rating
The Agilent 6546 LC/Q-TOF system is guaranteed 10 years of typical use under the Agilent Value Promise. Additionally, the products have guaranteed support for a minimum of 7 years after discontinuation. Lastly, based on the lifetime of previous, comparable product iterations, the Agilent 6546 LC/Q-TOF system are very likely to exceed 15 years of service with proper care and maintenance.
Packaging End-of-Life
The Agilent 6546 LC/Q-TOF packaging system consists of wooden pallets, polyethylene foam, and corrugated cardboard. Across the US, EU, and UK markets, corrugated cardboard and plywood are readily recyclable, whereas polyethylene is somewhat recyclable, landfilled, or converted from waste-to-energy depending on local infrastructure. In select EU countries and in the UK, Agilent participates in packaging take-back programs.
Product End-of-Life
The Agilent 6546 LC/Q-TOF system is eligible for take-back programs across the US, EU, and UK markets at its end-of-life.
