About this product
VWR Absorbent Underpads
Description
VWR Absorbent Underpads are designed to protect laboratory work surfaces, benches, and equipment from spills, leaks, and contamination. These disposable pads feature a multi-layered construction that combines a highly absorbent core with a liquid-impermeable backing to ensure that fluids are contained and do not reach the underlying surface. They are essential for maintaining a clean and safe working environment during procedures involving hazardous chemicals, biological samples, or radioactive materials.
Key Features
- High-capacity absorbent core quickly traps and retains liquids to prevent spreading
- Liquid-impermeable backing prevents strike-through to protect benches and equipment
- Soft, non-woven top layer is designed to be low-linting to minimise sample contamination
- Flat, stable surface allows for the safe placement of laboratory glassware and instruments
- Disposable design facilitates rapid clean-up and supports infection control protocols
Applications
- Lining laboratory benches and fume hoods during liquid handling tasks
- Protecting surfaces during the transport of biological or chemical samples
- Absorbing spills in clinical, diagnostic, and research laboratory settings
- Providing a clean workspace for animal necropsy or surgical procedures
Disclaimer
These underpads are intended for surface protection and spill containment; they are not designed for use as primary sterile barriers unless otherwise specified by the manufacturer.
