Pipette Tips – Life Cycle Thinking | Sustainability Fact Sheet
Authors: Sartorius | Last updated: 2024
Overview
Pipette tips are essential tools in any laboratory setting. Sartorius Optifit pipette tips are standard tips that are available with various purity and packaging options. The Safetyspace® filter tips, on the other hand, are always pre-sterilized and designed to safeguard against cross-contamination of reagents and samples alike.
Our ongoing research into materials and designs aims to lessen environmental impact and enhance the recyclability of our pipette tips. Guided by Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) screenings, we gain valuable insights that drive the development of more sustainable products and deepen our understanding of their ecological footprints. Integrating life cycle thinking into our operations not only supports the sustainability of our pipette tips but also enables our customers to make environmentally conscious decisions with confidence.
