Many autoanalyzers and other laboratory equipment consume reagents. In some cases, the equipment warranty is voided if non-approved reagents are used, or the equipment is provided on loan for free as long as the facility purchases the appropriate reagents. Thus, it is important, when selecting laboratory equipment, to ask for information about the environmental attributes of the reagents that must be purchased.
