Pipettes Offer Quality Assurance for Endotoxin-Sensitive Applications

By LabMedica International staff writers
Posted on 11 May 2010
A range of serological pipettes is now certified nonpyrogenic to 0.01 ELISA Units (EU)/mL, significantly lower than the market standard of 0.25 EU/mL. The range has also been validated nonhemolytic.

When medical device and pharmaceutical manufacturers perform tests to ensure that their products are free from endotoxins, it is extremely important for them to have confidence in the equipment and materials that they use.

Similarly, when pipetting blood and blood products, it is important that the polymer used does not have a detrimental effect on the sample. Validated nonhemolytic, the serological pipettes protect samples and provide valuable assurance that they will not interfere with the results of hemolysis tests.

Certified nonpyrogenic to a very low level, Sterilin (Bargoed, UK) serological pipettes greatly reduce the risk of endotoxin interference in routine laboratory analyses (such as limulus amebocyte lysate--LAL testing) and, therefore, help to ensure the integrity of results.

Sterilin serological pipettes are manufactured from crystal grade polystyrene to ensure excellent clarity. With crisp black print, ascending and descending graduations, and negative graduations for extra capacity, volumes are extremely easy to read, and accurate to ± 1%.

The comprehensive range includes standard pipette sizes (1 mL, 2 mL, 5 mL, 10 mL, 25 mL, and 50 mL) in addition to "Shortie” pipettes (5 mL and 10 mL), which are ideal for use in laminar flow cabinets. The gamma-irradiated pipettes are individually wrapped in paper peel or plastic film to maintain quality during storage.
