KNAUER Wissenschaftliche Geräte GmbH has been nominated for the German sustainability Award 2026 in the Products category. This award recognizes the company's special commitment to sustainable product development and responsible innovation.

With its AZURA® 862 bar (U)HPLC systems for laboratory analysis, KNAUER stands out positively through sustainable production, durable, repairable and recyclable components as well as an energy-efficient design and packaging with a low environmental impact. The liquid chromatography systems have already been awarded the ACT Ecolabel and are the best in their class. The particularly short analysis times that can be achieved with UHPLC technology also ensure high separation performance and a greatly reduced solvent requirement during operation.

The nomination underlines KNAUER's pioneering role in the field of environmentally friendly technologies for the laboratory and shows how consistently the company combines many years of ecological responsibility, quality and customer benefit.

"We are delighted to have been nominated for the DNP 2026! It confirms our claim to create sustainable solutions that make a real difference - for our customers, but also for the environment and society," says Alexandra Knauer, Managing Director of KNAUER GmbH.

The announcement of the nomination by the company coincides with the annual KNAUER Sustainability Week, which is held with the employees. This year's activities include a presentation on KNAUER's measures to reduce so-called perpetual chemicals (PFAS) and an information session to present the company's numerous family-friendly offers. On Monday, the aim was to "come to work with as little CO2 as possible", while on Tuesday a workshop on sustainable gardening and the installation of nesting boxes in the company garden was offered. On Wednesday, a cross-departmental working group spent three hours discussing sustainability at KNAUER and drew up proposals for the management.

The German Sustainability Award (DNP) will be presented during the congress of the same name on December 4 and 5, 2025 in Düsseldorf. The DNP is Europe's largest award for ecological and social commitment and is being held for the 18th time this year.
