plastic pipette tips

Did you ever wonder how scientists measure tiny amounts of liquids in their experiments? The tool of their trade is a piece of laboratory equipment called the pipette! To assist in the very gentle and precise pouring of liquids, they use a pipette. Pipettes come in different shapes and sizes but we will be focusing on the plastic pipette tips of today, much more recent than glass ones.

They might seem less secure than glass pipets, but they have the advantage that being single-use only and plastic-made; you can (and should) throw them out after a single use. So when a scientist uses one of these plastic pipette tips, it can safely be discarded directly into the trash. This way, they prevent germs and other debris from entering the fluids to which the gloves are applied. Additionally, the tiniest amount of contamination can skew an experiment. Also, as we all know that they are universal tips for pipettes so one size fits all types of pipettes. This makes it possible for scientists to use their favorite pipette, and yet make the same plastic tips with a different material.

The Economical & Convenient Choice for Liquid Handling Applications

These avoid the downside: They cost less than glass-blown Pasteur pipettes, are easier to use and do not get dirty like wool! Along with use of old glass pipettes, it requires meticulous cleaning every time which is very tedious. Because scientists usually have many experiments to run, and spending time washing tools can take a serious hit in efficiency. But plastic pipette tips are disposable after being used once, which saves a lot of time and work for scientists.

Also, the plastic pipette tips are also much less expensive compared to their glass counterparts. For scientists who are not cash-rich, this is a huge advantage. Using lower-cost plastic tips also means that the next experiments they run will be better funded; more science can be done than reagent and lab equipment costs.
