Product Carbon Reporting

Available cradle-to-gate product CO2e results may be used for estimates that support Scope 3 calculations. Note that product carbon footprint results may not be directly comparable between products in the absence of a product category rule (PCR), even when using an approved reporting framework. The product CO2e was calculated using the ISO 14067 framework. The quantity/format of the product used to calculate the product CO2e: The cradle-to-gate footprint is based on one Agilent 1260 Infinity III Liquid Chromatography (LC) system and its packaging. The system is composed of five modules: a pump, a sampler, a column compartment, a smart box, and a detector.. A critical review of the calculated product CO2e was third-party.
