Seward has launched the universal fit Simplette Straws designed for use with fixed- or variable-volume pipette handsets for sample handling applications.
The company claimed that Simplette Straws, which cost less than GBP0.01 each, provide an inexpensive alternative to graduated pipettes.
The Simplette Straws feature increased wall thickness and extended length and have been designed specifically to reach the bottom of all Stomacher bags.
This means that a homogenised sample can be readily recovered for microbiological inoculations without risk of cross-contamination via the pipette handsets, since they have no contact with the bag.
The Simplette Straws are packaged irradiated sterile and are available in two lengths - 170mm and 250mm.
