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. Overall, ISCC PLUS supports the transition toward a more sustainable and circular economy, benefiting both businesses and the environment.

Can Eppendorf BioBased consumables be used for the same applications as standard products?

Yes, all Eppendorf BioBased consumables — such as tubes, plates, and tips — are designed to be fully compatible with the same applications as their standard counterparts. Whether you’re handling samples and reagents, performing storage, preparing for assays, or working with cell and microorganism cultures, BioBased consumables can be used seamlessly in your routine laboratory workflows. Importantly, Eppendorf BioBased consumables offer the same safety and assay performance as conventional products. This includes equivalent centrifugation stability, lid tightness, storage temperature tolerance, and low leaching levels.

epT.I.P.S. BioBasedピペットチップとその梱包材の廃棄物

材料のリサイクルすることは日々ますます重要になっています。例えば、ヨーロッパでは厚紙材のほとんど100 %がすでに再利用されています。 epT.I.P.S. BioBased ピペットチップの梱包材はほとんどが厚紙ですが、さまざまな材料で出来ています。
Eppendorf消耗品とepT.I.P.S. BioBasedピペットチップは、少なくとも37 %リサイクリングされた厚紙で出来ている輸送用段ボールと、少なくとも60 %リサイクリングされた厚紙で出来ている折畳み箱の両方に梱包されて輸送されます。
チューブの厚紙梱包材を収集することによって貴重な原料をリサイクルするグローバルな持続可能性イニシアチブをサポートしてください。お客様の組織や地域の指定された収集コンテナ内に梱包材を使い捨てます。
使用後は、チップ自体は汚染される可能性があるものとして定義されます。この汚染は生物災害、薬害、または原子力災害に基づくことがあります。従って、これらのチップのリサイクルは困難なことがあります。多くの国々でクリティカルな廃棄物は法規に従って焼却される必要があります。しかしながら、エネルギーおよび熱は汚染された実験室消耗品のサーマルリサイクルによって回収することができます。
クリティカルなプラスチック廃棄物の量を軽減するためには少なくとも二つの廃棄物コンテナを使用する必要があります：クリティカルな廃棄物用に一つ、そして非クリティカルな廃棄物用に一つです。これらの二つのグループの定義は地域の規程によることがあるので、それに従ってお客様の実験室で連絡・研修を受けてください。その他の地域の廃棄物リサイクルオプションについてはお客様の地域の生物安全性担当者および地域廃棄物管理にお問い合わせください。
認定地域リサイクリングパートナーを是非お勧めします。「ローカルであること」を保つことは輸送の影響を減らすことになるでしょう。そして実験室廃棄物の安全で持続可能な取り扱いのためには「公認された」見地を持つことが推奨されます。
