Pasteur Pipettes - Individual Pack, EO sterile

These EO sterile Pasteur (transfer) pipettes are individually packed, single-use lab tools for moving liquid safely and without contamination. Each one is a single piece of flexible plastic, typically low-density polyethylene (LDPE), with a built-in bulb for suction.

Key Benefits and Features

• Sterilisation: Sterilised with ethylene oxide (EO) gas, which works well for heat-sensitive plastics.
• Individual packing: Each pipette is sealed in its own paper-plastic wrap and stays sterile until you open it, which is critical for clean technique in sensitive work.
• Material: LDPE resists most acids, bases and biological fluids and stays flexible for easy squeezing.
• Design: Moulded graduations on the stem for approximate volumes, such as 1ml, 2ml or 3ml.

Primary Applications

These pipettes are essential where cross-contamination has to be avoided:

• Cell culture: Adding reagents or transferring media without introducing bacteria that could ruin the culture.
• Microbiology: Handling bacterial cultures, viruses or pathogens in sterile conditions.
• Clinical diagnostics: Preparing blood, urine or other patient samples accurately and safely.
• Molecular biology: Tasks like DNA extraction or PCR, where nucleases on non-sterile equipment could degrade samples.
