General Lab Plastics

Overview: 

Thermo Scientific™ ART™ Barrier Hinged Rack Pipette Tips seal when exposed to potential contaminants. The pipette tips from the reload inserts fit securely into the environmentally friendly, reusable hinged racks and the covers may be used as hinged or lift-off style. The locking clasp prevents contamination by keeping remaining tips sterile and offers an easy, one-handed operation. ART hinged racks are available in low retention, micropoint, extended length, and other specialty styles.

QSP pipette tips and tubes are made from 100% virgin polypropylene utilizing state of the art molds and molding methods. These products are precision molded for an airtight fit without using a mold release agent in the manufacturing process.
