Clinical Applications
From handling a variety of patient samples, whether large or small volume, to preparing slides for analysis, Pastettes provide the perfect tools in the clinical environment.
We have been using the Alpha Laboratories 1ml Pastettes (LW4040) for a number of years and are very pleased with the product.
The reason we like the Pastettes is mainly due to the graduation marks, which are great for aliquoting liquids to a rough measure in equal quantities. They are also very easy to use and to dispose of.

These pastettes have a very fine tip with a small volume and a very controllable bulb. With other products the bulb is too stiff. They are ideal for dispensing into sampling cups without creating bubbles that can disrupt the efficiency of the analyser.”
“We have a long standing relationship with Alpha, because the products are cost effective, and the quality is very good. We also like the service provided with a dedicated contact in the sales office and a flexible standing order
