Product Description
Narrow Stem Transfer Pipettes
Eliminate plugging, packaging and autoclaving with Narrow Stem Transfer Pipettes. These polyethylene pipettes prevent cross-contamination and are used for blood bank applications such as sedimentation procedures. The single-unit design features a built-in pipette bulb, and a flexible stem bends to sample from narrow or small tubes.
Description
- Made of shatterproof, nontoxic polyethylene
- Low-affinity surface reduces loss of cells and valuable proteins due to binding
- Can be frozen in liquid nitrogen, or heat sealed for storage
Precision and Control for Laboratory TasksThese narrow stem pipettes feature a fine tip and graduation markings, allowing users to transfer and measure liquids with heightened control. Their flexibility and chemical resistance make them essential tools for laboratories working with a broad range of substances.
Convenient, Disposable DesignDesigned as single-use items, these pipettes simplify workflow and reduce contamination risks. Each pipettes construction from clear, non-toxic LDPE ensures safety, and options for both sterile and non-sterile use accommodate varied laboratory protocols.
Versatile Application and Reliable PerformanceResistant to most acids, these pipettes are widely applicable across laboratories, research institutions, and educational settings. They withstand temperatures up to 80C, making them compatible with many standard laboratory operations.
FAQs of Narrow Stem Transfer Pipettes:
Q: How do I properly use a narrow stem transfer pipette for approximate measurements?
A: To use the pipette, gently squeeze the bulb to draw up liquid to the desired graduation marking, then release the liquid as needed for controlled dispensing. Graduation marks allow for approximate volume measurement, but they are not intended for high-precision analytical work.
Q: What are the benefits of choosing these pipettes for laboratory applications?
A: These transfer pipettes are disposable, reducing cross-contamination risks. Their fine tip offers controlled dispensing and chemical resistance makes them suitable for handling a broad spectrum of laboratory reagents, particularly acids and aqueous solutions.
Q: When should I select a sterile versus a non-sterile format?
A: Choose sterile pipettes for applications where aseptic technique is crucial, such as in microbiology or cell culture. Non-sterile pipettes are adequate for routine liquid transfers not involving sensitive biological samples.
Q: Where can these pipettes be used most effectively?
A: They are ideal for laboratories, research facilities, educational institutes, and in any context where precise, single-use liquid handling is required, such as sample preparation or qualitative analysis.
Q: What is the process for safely disposing of used pipettes?
A: After use, dispose of the pipettes according to your facilitys biomedical or laboratory waste protocols, as the product is intended for single use and is not autoclavable.
Q: Are these pipettes compatible with all types of chemicals?
A: They are resistant to most acids and aqueous solutions, but users should verify compatibility with specific substances before use, as they are not guaranteed to withstand all organic solvents.
Q: What makes these pipettes easy to use for laboratory staff?
A: Manufactured from flexible, clear LDPE, the pipettes provide good visibility of the sample and allow easy manual control. Their single-use format and availability in bulk packs also enhance efficiency.
