Description
The Eppendorf epT.I.P.S.® BioBased open up new doors to make laboratory work significantly more sustainable without jeopardizing experimental results. By using a second-generation biobased polymer made from 100 % renewable resources based on the mass balance approach (e.g. waste and residues from vegetable oil refining or waste cooking oil), the product-related carbon footprint of these pipette tips and filter pipette tips was significantly reduced. "General Quality Certificates" on compliance with standards and general quality requirements, product-specific and lot-specific purity certificates as well as "ACT Certificates" (the independent environmental impact factor certification by My Green Lab) attest the well-known premium product quality you can expect from Eppendorf pipette tips combined with a sustainability factor that will clearly be visible in your laboratory carbon footprint with continuous use of these pipette and filter pipette tips.
Like our tips made of virgin fossil-based polypropylene, these tips are manufactured to extremely high quality and purity standards and are designed to cover all of the specific needs of your samples. Offering reduced-force tip attachment and ejection with complete sealing, epT.I.P.S.® BioBased pipette tips, ep Dualfilter T.I.P.S.® BioBased and ep Dualfilter T.I.P.S.® SealMax® BioBased filter pipette tips work in perfect combination with your Eppendorf pipettes and form a fully integrated pipetting system that delivers maximum precision, accuracy and reproducibility. They will complete your workflows in an excellent way. Additionally, they support you in your efforts to become visibly more environmentally friendly in the laboratory.
Since fossil oil-sourced plastic lab consumables replaced glass products, they have become irreplaceable in laboratories around the world, providing the high-quality standards needed in increasingly demanding research. However, this poses a growing challenge in respect to sustainability. This is why Eppendorf not only focuses on the development of new products but also on new, more environmentally friendly manufacturing materials. We have even succeeded in finding a polypropylene based on renewable raw materials which we are now using for the production of a new generation of pipette tips.
Together with the use of more sustainable starting material for the pipette tips, these biobased tips come in a Reload variant which meets the same purity and sterility requirements as conventional disposable Racks. This Reload variant saves up to 54 % fossil-based plastic compared to conventional Racks and significantly reduces the volume of laboratory waste. The new Reloads fit perfectly into the well-known epT.I.P.S.® Box 2.0.
Thus both aspects – biobased raw material for the pipette tips and significantly reduced use of plastic for the Reloads – contribute to an improved laboratory carbon footprint and to laboratory waste reduction.
Improve your laboratory carbon footprint and switch to epT.I.P.S.® BioBased in the new Eppendorf Reload variants. These pipette tips are produced from recycled feedstock in second generation, derived solely from waste and residue streams from vegetable oil production e.g. used cooking oil.
Reduce significantly your laboratory waste volume – use Reloads instead of disposable Racks.
