Microbiology

Many microbiology applications can benefit from the use of specific pasteur pipettes designed to make the task easier and more efficient.

The products are very reliable, good quality sterile pipettes and give accurate liquid handling with reproducible results. We’ve tried other brands but none measure up to the Pastette quality.

We’ve been purchasing these from Alpha Laboratories from the beginning. We buy on a flexible standing order, which works really well for us. Our dedicated customer service contact is really helpful and knows who we are straight away.

I have been using Pastettes since the 1980’s after moving over from homemade glass ones (quite a tricky and dangerous practice). We thought these new plastic disposable items were a godsend.

Working in a microbiology laboratory they were used in abundance for many things.   Jumbo Pastettes were used for removing sediment from early morning urine for TB examination.  Fine Tip Pastettes were used for filling cell counting chambers with CSF.  The serology section was probably the biggest user, transferring serum and plasma from centrifuged blood containers into tubes and vials.
