The ConductScience Serological Pipettes 2mL are sterile, single-use polystyrene pipettes designed for precise liquid handling in cell culture and research applications. Each pipette features a color-coded green band for easy volume identification and is manufactured to ensure consistent liquid transfer accuracy essential for reproducible experimental results.
These pipettes undergo E-beam sterilization to maintain sterility without chemical residues, while remaining DNase/RNase free and non-pyrogenic to protect sensitive cell cultures and molecular biology applications. The polystyrene construction provides chemical resistance and dimensional stability required for accurate volumetric measurements in laboratory workflows.
How It Works
Serological pipettes operate on the principle of controlled liquid aspiration and dispensing through graduated volumetric measurements. The pipette's internal diameter and graduation marks are precisely calibrated to deliver accurate volumes when liquid is drawn to the appropriate marking and dispensed under controlled conditions.
The polystyrene construction provides a hydrophobic surface that minimizes liquid retention and ensures consistent meniscus formation for accurate volume reading. E-beam sterilization uses high-energy electrons to break molecular bonds in microorganisms, achieving sterility without heat or chemical exposure that could affect pipette dimensions or introduce contaminants.

Comparison Guide
| Feature | This Product | Typical Alternative | Advantage |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sterilization Method | E-beam sterilized | Many alternatives use gamma irradiation or autoclave sterilization | E-beam sterilization avoids potential material degradation while ensuring sterility. |
| Enzyme Contamination | DNase/RNase free | Basic pipettes may not specify enzyme contamination levels | Critical for protecting nucleic acid samples in molecular biology workflows. |
| Pyrogenicity | Non-pyrogenic | Standard pipettes may not test for endotoxins | Essential for cell culture applications where endotoxin contamination affects cell viability. |
| Material Construction | Polystyrene | Various plastics including polypropylene | Polystyrene provides excellent optical clarity for accurate meniscus reading. |
These pipettes combine E-beam sterilization, enzyme-free specifications, and non-pyrogenic properties in a single product designed specifically for cell culture and molecular biology applications requiring contamination-free liquid handling.
Practical Tips
Allow pipettes to reach room temperature before use if stored in different conditions.
Why: Temperature differences can affect volumetric accuracy due to thermal expansion.
Inspect each pipette for cracks or damage before use.
Why: Damaged pipettes can compromise sterility and volumetric accuracy.
Use consistent aspiration and dispensing speeds for reproducible results.
Why: Variable flow rates can introduce air bubbles and affect volume accuracy.
Never mouth pipette; always use mechanical pipette aids.
Why: Prevents exposure to hazardous materials and maintains sterile conditions.
Read meniscus at eye level for accurate volume measurement.
Why: Parallax error from incorrect viewing angle affects volume accuracy.
If liquid retention occurs, check for proper wetting and pipette damage.
Why: Poor wetting or surface damage can cause inconsistent liquid delivery.
