BD and ChemoGLO™ Collaborate to Expand Hazardous Drug Contamination Testing for Health Care Facilities and Laboratories

FRANKLIN LAKES, N.J., Dec. 4, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — BD (Becton, Dickinson and Company) (NYSE: BDX), a leading global medical technology company, and ChemoGLO™, a specialist in hazardous drug detection and decontamination, today announced a strategic collaboration to advance hazardous drug contamination testing in health care settings to improve the safety of health care workers.

This collaboration allows facilities to combine the rapid, point-of-care qualitative results from the BD® HD Check System – available in just 10 minutes – with ChemoGLO™’s liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) analysis, delivering a comprehensive quantitative report on an expanded panel of hazardous drugs within three to five days after receipt of samples. Once a sample is collected with the HD Check collection kit, it can be safely packaged and shipped to ChemoGLO™ for further analysis.

“With the BD® HD Check System, facilities can quickly identify potential contamination, and through our collaboration with ChemoGLO™, gain deeper insights into exposure risks,” said Eric Borin, worldwide president of BD Medication Delivery Solutions. “This dual approach helps pinpoint areas of improvement and reinforces our commitment to health care worker safety.”

Together, BD and ChemoGLO™ offer a streamlined sampling and testing workflow that empowers health care facilities to monitor contamination more effectively and take timely action to help protect health care workers from exposure risks. This combined testing approach aligns with recommendations outlined at a 2020 consensus conference on hazardous drug surface contamination, which encourages healthcare institutions to use both qualitative and quantitative surface contamination testing to better assess environmental safety and reduce exposure risks for staff.¹

“At ChemoGLO™, the heart of our mission has always been to protect health care workers and patients from hazardous drug exposure,” said Cara Zamboni, CEO at ChemoGLO™. “By partnering with BD, we’re combining speed and precision to help facilities act faster and more confidently to safeguard their teams.”
