Plasticware has become an increasingly popular option for many labs in recent times. It’s low price point, ease of use, and often easily customizable features have allowed it to take a hold in the research world. Many disposable consumables and general lab supplies that are often used in the laboratory are made from plastics. This includes syringes, tubing, media bottles, flasks, cylinders, beakers and more.
Considerations for purchasing laboratory plasticware
When choosing plastic labware, make sure that the resin used is certified for the type of work your lab is doing. Plastic that is suitable for a high school chemistry lab may not be safe for the manufacture of medications, for instance, so check the certifications. If the plastic labware you are using will be utilized for medical devices, check to be sure that ISO 13485 requirements for its manufacture were met. Another feature to consider is what kind of seal the laboratory plasticware container has—some labs may need airtight seals, while others just need the tops covered.

| Description | Get the most out of your PCR. Polypropylene wells with LoBind characteristics are designed to maximize yield of your target molecules. DNA is less likely to bind to polypropylene and thus remains within the liquid of your reaction. That is not only beneficial for yield when pipetting, but also meansGet the most out of your PCR. Polypropylene wells with LoBind characteristics are designed to maximize yield of your target molecules. DNA is less likely to bind to polypropylene and thus remains within the liquid of your reaction. That is not only beneficial for yield when pipetting, but also means more molecules are available for the chemical reaction, e.g. PCR....
