Frequently asked questions
Are these pipettes compatible with standard Kova tubes?
Yes, these pipettes are specifically engineered for use with Kova tubes. They are designed to integrate seamlessly into the Kova standardized urinalysis system, ensuring consistency and accuracy during your workflow.
Can these be used for tasks other than urinalysis?
While they are optimized for standardized urinalysis, specifically for decanting supernatant after centrifugation, their 1 mL capacity and functional design make them suitable for a variety of clinical laboratory fluid handling tasks where precision and disposal are required.
Does the design help prevent cross-contamination?
Yes, because these pipettes are disposable, they significantly reduce the risk of sample carryover or cross-contamination compared to reusable glassware. They are designed for single-use, allowing for safe and efficient disposal after each procedure.
Do I need any special tools to use these?
No additional tools are required. The pipettes feature an ergonomic bulbous end for manual fluid aspiration, designed for simplicity and ease of use by laboratory technicians.
Is the packaging suitable for sterile storage?
These pipettes are provided as non-sterile units. They are intended for standardized diagnostic procedures where the integrity of the decanting process is maintained through the system’s design.
Why use these over general-purpose pipettes?
Unlike generic pipettes, these are application-specific. Their profile is custom-molded to fit Kova tubes, which simplifies the decanting process, minimizes manual effort, and ensures that you maintain the standardization required for accurate urinalysis results.
Is the material durable for centrifugation decanting?
They are constructed from high-quality, robust plastic tailored for clinical use. They are designed to handle the specific mechanical requirements of decanting supernatant from centrifuge tubes without compromising structural integrity.
Are these made in the United States?
Yes, the Alltrista Plastics LLC Kova Petter Pipettes are manufactured in Reedsville, Pennsylvania, USA.
What is the total capacity of each pipette?
Each pipette is precisely calibrated to a volume of 1 mL, which is the standardized size required for typical urinalysis decanting protocols.
How many pipettes come in a single order?
Each box contains 500 individual disposable pipettes, making it an efficient choice for high-volume clinical laboratory environments.
