July 2020—Sarstedt introduced its Refill Revolution, a pipette tip refill system. The system is made up of a reusable box, SingleRefills, StackPacks, and bagged tips. The central box is compact, closes tightly during transport, storage, and autoclaving, and is easily refilled. Lightweight SingleRefills are sealed to protect tips from contamination during transfer to the box. StackPacks reduce plastic materials and packaging volume and are stable, with sturdy trays anchored to one another to prevent spills. Bulk tip bags feature a tamper-evident seal and zip closure.
Refill Revolution tips are certified free of DNA, DNase, and RNase, are CE marked as an in vitro diagnostic product, and meet the ISO 8655-2 testing standard. Some options are sterile and free of PCR inhibitors, ATP, and pyrogens. Standard tips and filtered and low-retention options are available. Tip trays feature a laser marking of tip volume, lot number, and expiration date, and are color-coded for volume.
