Frequently asked questions
Are the transfer pipets available sterile?
Yes, Simport Dropette Disposable Transfer Pipets are offered in both configurations to accommodate various laboratory protocols:
- Sterile Options: Specific variants are available pre-packaged and supplied as Sterile from the manufacturer.
- Sterilization Capability: The pipets, molded from low-density polyethylene (LDPE), are safely compatible with Gas (EtO) sterilization. This provides the flexibility to prepare non-sterile units for aseptic applications as needed.
Does the integrated design enhance user safety?
Yes, the all-in-one design of the Simport Dropette significantly enhances safety and simplifies fluid handling compared to traditional glass pipets.
Key safety advantages include:
- Eliminates Glass Hazards: Molded from durable, unbreakable low-density polyethylene (LDPE), this design removes the danger of broken glass, which significantly reduces the risk of exposure to infectious or hazardous materials.
- Integrated System: The all-in-one construction eliminates the need to match and attach separate rubber bulbs, streamlining procedures and minimizing handling errors and potential contamination.
- Material Compatibility: The LDPE material is suitable for the safe handling and transfer of a wide range of substances, including biological fluids and most common laboratory acids.
Are Simport Dropette pipets resistant to chemicals?
Yes, Simport Dropette pipets are resistant to biological fluids and most acids, making them suitable for a wide range of laboratory applications.
Can these pipets be used for very cold temperatures?
Yes, these pipets are temperature resistant down to -196°C, making them suitable for cryogenic applications.
Can the Simport Dropette pipets be sterilized?
Yes, Simport Dropette pipets can be sterilized using gas (EtO) sterilization methods.
Are these transfer pipets made from durable material?
Yes, the Simport Dropette Pipets are engineered for high durability and safety.
They are constructed as an all-in-one device from see-through low-density polyethylene (LDPE). This material provides two key advantages:
- Unbreakable Safety: The LDPE design eliminates the hazards associated with broken glass, reducing the risk of exposure to infectious materials.
- Extreme Temperature Resistance: The pipets are temperature resistant down to -196°C, making them suitable for use in protocols involving cryogenic storage.
What packaging and bulk options are available?
The Simport Dropette Disposable Transfer Pipets are offered in a variety of packaging options to suit different laboratory needs, including both Sterile and Non-Sterile configurations.
Packaging configurations range from:
- Bags (bg): Individual bags starting at 20 pipets per bag.
- Packs (pk): Bags are compiled into packs (e.g., 20 bags per pack).
- Cases (cs): Packs are grouped into cases. Case sizes vary widely, with options available up to 4000 pipets per case.
- Bulk Quantities: Large pallet quantities are also available for high-volume usage.
Are these transfer pipets available in graduated options?
Yes, the Simport Dropette Disposable Transfer Pipets are available with different options, including both graduated and standard (non-graduated) configurations.
- Graduated Pipets: These feature clear, molded volumetric markings that allow for easy, approximate measurement and controlled dispensing of liquids. Capacities range up to 7mL depending on the specific variant chosen.
- Standard Pipets: These are intended for general, safe liquid transfer where precise volumetric measurement is not required.
All models are constructed from unbreakable, low-density polyethylene (LDPE) in an all-in-one design, significantly enhancing safety by eliminating the risk of broken glass and separate rubber bulbs.
Is high-quality low-density polyethylene used?
Yes, the Simport Dropette pipets are manufactured entirely from see-through low-density polyethylene (LDPE). This high-quality material is crucial for safety and sample integrity, providing several key benefits:
- Unbreakable Design: It eliminates the risks associated with glass pipets, enhancing laboratory safety.
- Low Binding: The low-affinity surface minimizes the loss of valuable materials, such as cells and proteins, due to surface binding.
- Versatile Compatibility: The pipets are suitable for safely handling biological fluids and most common acids.
- Cryogenic Resistance: They are temperature resistant down to -196°C and can be sealed for safe refrigeration or freezing.
What are the capacity and length options available?
The Simport Dropette Disposable Transfer Pipets are offered in a range of dimensions, all featuring an unbreakable, all-in-one design molded from low-density polyethylene (LDPE) for enhanced laboratory safety.
Available dimensions include:
| Type | Options |
|---|---|
| Capacities | 1.5 mL, 3 mL, 4 mL, 5 mL, and 7 mL |
| Lengths | 11.4 cm, 13.8 cm, 15 cm, 15.5 cm, and 15.6 cm |
These versatile pipets are also available in both Sterile and Non-Sterile options, and either Graduated or standard configurations, to suit various application needs.
