Do ep Dualfilter T.I.P.S. and/or ep Dualfilter T.I.P.S. SealMax prevent vapour from hazardous liquids to enter the pipette cone? (e.g. fuming acids)

No. The principle of the Dualfilter (in ep Dualfilter T.I.P.S. and ep Dualfilter T.I.P.S. SealMax and their biobased variants) is to protect from aerosols, meaning small liquid droplets in the air and for SealMax also from liquid splashes. Gaseous vapour/fume from liquid samples is not retained by any filter. To protect the lower part of a pipette, it is best to use a lower part made of PTFE (higher chemical resistance, to withstand highly aggressive chemicals (e.g. TFA)). Please note that Eppendorf offers a PTFE lower part for some single-channel Research plus and Reference 2 pipettes. Important to bear in mind when using it: A lower pipette part made of PTFE is not autoclavable as PTFE is not dimensionally stable under heat. Pipette calibration is recommended after replacing the lower part.

What does the engraved text „Rack body made of 100% recycled material” on the epT.I.P.S. ® Rack mean?

Eppendorf has started to produce the Racks in which the pipette tips (epT.I.P.S. ® pipette tips, ep Dualfilter T.I.P.S. ® pipette filter tips, and ep Dualfilter T.I.P.S. ® SealMax ® pipette filter tips) are available from recyclate: All Racks with the engraving are made from 100 % post-consumer recyclate (PCR), which refers to materials that have been collected, recycled, and repurposed. This process helps to reduce waste and the consumption of virgin materials, contributing to a more sustainable and environmentally friendly production cycle.

Do epT.I.P.S. ® Racks with a Rack body made of 100% recycled material have different properties than standard Racks?

No. The material change for the disposable Rack does not affect the purity, sterility, autoclavability or stability of the Racks themselves or the within packed epT.I.P.S. ® pipette tips, ep Dualfilter T.I.P.S. ® pipette filter tips, and ep Dualfilter T.I.P.S. ® SealMax ® pipette filter tips. There is also no change in form, fit or function. As product item numbers remain identical and no changes to the product quality exists, no further actions are required by you, our customer. This is also confirmed by lot-specific and quality certificates.

Can epT.I.P.S. ® Racks with a Rack body made of 100% recycled material be recycled?

Yes. Racks made of 100% recycled Polypropylene can be handled and recycled in the same way as racks made of virgin Polypropylene. Please check with your local biosafety/sustainability/waste management regarding local standards and requirements as the Racks can be contaminated.

Are Eppendorf consumables free of RNA?

All consumables certified with "PCR clean" are tested free of human DNA, DNase, RNase and PCR inhibitors. The following applies from our point of view: where no human DNA is detected, there can also be no RNA, which is considerably more unstable.

Are lot specific certificates for the purity grades available in the internet?

Yes, the lot specific purity certificates, so-called Test report, can be downloaded at the certificates homepage .

Are epT.I.P.S. and ep Dualfilter T.I.P.S. resistant to UV-light?

Can ep Dualfilter TIPS and ep Dualfilter T.I.P.S. SealMax be autoclaved?

No, ep Dualfilter T.I.P.S. and ep Dualfilter T.I.P.S. SealMax cannot be autoclaved.

Is it possible to filter solutions using ep Dualfilter T.I.P.S.?

No, ep Dualfilter T.I.P.S. are not suitable for filtering liquids. They prevent aerosols migrating through the filter.

What is an origin/composition of the material used for Eppendorf BioBased consumables?

All Eppendorf BioBased consumables—including tubes, plates, and tips—are manufactured using renewable-based feedstock, which is typically recycled from food oil wastes and residues. In addition, small percentage of fossil-based feedstock may be used in some cases. The exact percentage of BioBased material can vary between different products; detailed information about the composition is provided in the individual product certificates. The renewable-based feedstock used in these consumables is strictly monitored and certified by the ISCC PLUS System (International Sustainability & Carbon Certification), which is a globally recognized certification scheme for manufacturers of bio-based polymers and related products. This certification ensures that the raw materials are fully traceable back to their first collection points and that their origins are from certified suppliers committed to sustainability. For precise details on the BioBased content of a specific product, please refer to the individual certificate associated with that product.

Is the material used for Eppendorf BioBased consumables simply recycled food oil waste?

No, the material used for Eppendorf BioBased consumables is not simply recycled food oil waste. While the renewable-based feedstock often originates from sources like food oil wastes and residues, it undergoes an advanced and thorough refinement process. During this process, the bio-based feedstock is extensively purified and broken down (de-polymerized) into its pure monomer building blocks. These pure monomers are then used in a classical polyolefin manufacturing process to create entirely new polypropylene. The result is a material that is chemically identical to virgin (new) polypropylene—ensuring high purity and performance. For a detailed overview of this process, please refer to the figure below or visit our information page

Eppendorf BioBased consumables are ISCC PLUS certified. What is “ISCC PLUS” Certification ?

ISCC PLUS (International Sustainability & Carbon Certification) is a globally recognized certification program designed for the circular economy and bioeconomy. This certification enables full traceability of materials along the entire supply chain, from the initial raw materials—such as agricultural products, waste, or residues—all the way to the finished product. ISCC PLUS is applicable across various industries, including food and feed, chemicals, pharmaceuticals, and bioplastics. By achieving ISCC PLUS certification, companies demonstrate that their supply chains are regularly audited for sustainability, transparency, and responsible sourcing. This includes products made from waste, residues, and recyclable materials. Some of the key benefits of ISCC PLUS certification include: Traceability: Materials can be tracked at every step of the supply chain.Proof of Raw Material Identity: The origin and type of raw materials are clearly documented. Third-Party Verification: All information is independently audited and verified. Strengthened Consumer Confidence: Certification from an impartial, global organization reassures users about sustainability claims.

epT.I.P.S.BioBased移液吸头及包装材料处置

材料回收目前已变得日益重要。以欧洲为例，硬纸板几乎已实现100 %全部回收。epT.I.P.S.BioBased移液吸头包装由不同材料制成，其中绝大部分为硬纸板。
在Eppendorf 耗材包括epT.I.P.S.BioBased移液吸头的包装材料中，运输纸箱至少含有37 %的再生纸板，而折叠纸盒则至少含有60 %的再生纸板。
请收集离心管纸板包装材料，以实际行动支持回收有价值原材料的全球可持续发展倡议。请将收集的包装材料放到所在组织和地区指定的回收容器内。
使用后，吸头本身被定义为可能被污染。这种污染可能导致生物危害、化学危害，甚至是核危害。因此，回收这些吸头具有挑战性。多国法律规定，危险废物必须焚烧处理。不过，对已污染的实验室耗材进行热能回收处理，还可回收其中产生的能量和热量。
为减少危险塑料废物产生量，应至少准备两个废物箱：一个用于放置危险废物，一个用于放置非危险废物。两类废物的具体定义取决于当地法规，应在实验室进行相应宣传/培训。如需了解当地废物回收方案的更多信息，请联系当地生物安全官和废物管理机构。
强烈建议选择经认证的当地回收合作伙伴。保持“本地”处置可减少运输带来的影响，建议您联系“认证”机构，因为处理实验室废物时要满足安全性和可持续性要求。
