In the laboratory, a wet chemistry instrument was replaced by a chemistry instrument that utilizes Dry Slide Technology. This eliminates the use of liquid chemical preparations entirely and employs a reagent embedded dry wafer for analysis that can be disposed of in an environmentally safe manner.

In the radiology department, acquisition of a digital radiography system has eliminated the need for a wet chemistry processor (developer) used for film based radiography thus eliminating a respiratory hazard, spill and heavy metal hazard.
