Several months back we wrote about Wearwell mat company being a green company; BioFit is yet another company to consider what negative environmental impacts its products, processes, facilities and even shipping materials can create.
So what does BioFit do to go green?
BioFit takes the basic steps…
- Turn off any equipment that’s not being used
- Company-wide recycling stations for paper, cardboard and metal
- Use energy-efficient bulbs when possible
- Cut back on VOCs by using water-soluble adhesives and coatings
but the company also goes above and beyond…
- Use recycled materials for processes and products
- Aluminum castings – 100% recycled material
- Composite bases – 10% recycled material
- Seat controls & steel – 10% recycled material
- Cartons – 10% recycled material
- Aluminum castings – 100% recycled material
- Employing the most environmentally friendly processes available i.e. non-toxic powder coating
- Avoid using cadmium, mercury, lead, etc… ELV and RoHS compliant
- Use biodegradable degreasers and hand-cleaning products
In addition to a laundry list of steps BioFit takes to be environmentally conscious, it’s also important to note all BioFit chairs, stools, etc… (tables too) qualify to be used in green buildings around the U.S. BioFit seating products meet the indoor air quality requirements with ANSI/BIFMA protocol M7.1-2007, and are also compliant with the United States Green Building Council standard LEED CI EQ Credit 4.5, Low Emitting Material, Systems Furniture and Seating, Option C.

Hi Cyber Travelers,
We’ve recently spent some time changing the sorting options for the search engine. We also have mirrored some of those changes to the ”browse by brand/category” product listings. We apologize if you have seen blank searches or missing items in the lists. Development should be mostly done now. If you run across a problem, please e-mail me!
The default sorting criteria, for searches, is now ”Relevance” which is based on word scoring. New sorting options include:
- Sort by inventory (high to low numeric)
- Sort by brand (low to high alphanumeric)
- Sort by item category (low to high alphanumeric)
The sort by category option displays a search results break in the listing with the item category and a link to view all items in that category.
If you would like to see other changes made to the search engine, feel free to send me an e-mail or post a comment.

Within the past year Aven has introduced the Mighty Scope. The Mighty Scope is a portable microscope used with a laptop. The microscope is not ideal for every application but could come in handy for a wide variety of tasks, especially when portability is important. Below are 10 reasons why the Mighty Scope could replace your stationary microscope.
1. Portability – this is a big advantage over traditional microscopes…perfect for the field
2. Price – for as little as $163.38 you can get a digital Mighty Scope
3. Options – we carry 4 styles with different magnifications, light types and more…here’s a Mighty Scope comparison table
4. Versatility – the Mighty Scope can be mounted on an adjustable stand (included) or held in your hand
5. Variety of Applications – this little microscope can be used for the inspection of solder joints, welds, conformal coatings, hairline stress cracks and more
6. Ease of use – just plug the hand-held microscope into your USB port and you’re ready to go
7. Flexibility – image and video software is included but the Mighty Scope can also be use without the software
8. Focusing – infinite focal range…you can focus in on an object that’s sitting five feet from you
9. Adjustable – three of the four models have adjustable magnification of 10X-200X; the fourth model has a 500X lens
10. Comprehensive – not only is the Mighty Scope a microscope but it can also capture video and still images with its 1.3 megapixel camera
