Anachem has introduced Bioclean pipette tips from Rainin, designed to eliminate any risk of contamination or interference in liquid-handling experiments.
Rainin does not use any additives in the manufacture of its pipette tips; they are made from 100 per cent inert, pure and contamination-free virgin polypropylene and produced and packaged in Class 10,000 clean rooms.
As well as protecting experiments, Bioclean tips also protect the environment.
Bioclean tips are available in Spacesaver stacked refill systems that create 85 per cent less plastic waste than pre-filled individual tip racks.
Their plastic content is 50 per cent less by weight than other popular tip rack refill systems.
In addition, the outer sleeve of the Spacesaver system is now made from recycled PET from drinks bottles and the tip trays are made from recycled tips.
After use the complete system can be recycled.
Other refill systems use a polycarbonate rack, which deteriorates after autoclaving and can not be easily recycled.
In addition to the 'green' benefits of Spacesaver there is no risk of contamination as the sleeve, first preloaded rack and lid protects all the tips from contamination.
After loading, the tips may be autoclaved in the rack.
Spacesaver quickly and easily loads 96 tips in seconds.
The sleeve functions as an automatic tip dispenser that aligns and refills an empty rack with 96 tips at a time.
