NEB Seedballs – New habitats for bees & butterflies

New habitats for bees & butterflies –
Receive NEB Seedballs for free with your next order

Being environmentally friendly in the lab, where sterility and convenience are of utmost importance, can be difficult. However, we can all make small changes. To help move toward the goal of a greener lab, we installed an eco-friendly wastewater facility and recycle and compost as much as possible.

For laboratory work we’ve started the blog “Labconscious” by gathering tipps and information on how to work sustainably in your lab from the scientific community all over the world.

With sustainability in mind, we designed our Monarch Nucleic Acid Purification Kits which contain less plastic for columns and bottles and resource-friendly packaging.
