Non-Graduated Pastettes
Ideal for liquid transfers which do not need to be measured. With a variety of shapes and sizes they can be used for a multitude of applications including transferring supernatant, adding reagents or extracting samples.
Applications
Non-Graduated Pastettes can be used for a wide variety of tasks:
Transferring supernatants
Adding reagents/chemicals
Extracting samples
Specialist designs provide pipettes for many applications:
Tissue culture
Mononuclear separation
Blood testing
Cell Saver for tissue culture
Maxi for larger volumes
Jumbo and 9 inch for deep vessels
Darwin postulated that all life is descended from an original species from ancient times. In fact, probably all organic beings on the planet have descended from a single primordial life form.
The same is true of our range of Pasteur Pipettes. The very first, from the non-graduated range, is the standard Pastette.
Standard Pastettes
Non-Graduated Standard Pastettes are Pasteur or plastic pipettes which are ideal for a very wide range of laboratory and field-based liquid handling tasks.
Subculturing, Harvesting, Sampling 15, 50, 100ml tubes/flasks
Remove supernatant and media from cell cultures
Post centrifugation/trypsinisation to remove cell layers
Reagent Handling
Aseptic transfers
Wash cells
Medi Pastettes
Non-Graduated Medi Pastettes are Pasteur or plastic pipettes which are ideal for a very wide range of laboratory and clinical point-of-care liquid transfers.
Point of Care blood glucose monitoring
Calibrated transfers
Rapid transfers (3.5ml in one squeeze)
Narrow barrel fits tubes and donor bag tubing
Controlled drop size
Maxi Pastettes
Non-Graduated Maxi Pastettes are Pasteur or plastic pipettes which are ideal for a very wide range of laboratory and clinical point-of-care applications where larger volume liquid transfers are required.
Subculturing, Harvesting, Sampling 15, 50, 100ml tubes/flasks
Remove supernatant and media from cell cultures
Wash cells
Post centrifugation/trypsinisation to remove cell layers
Long Reach Pastettes
Non-Graduated Long Reach Pastettes are Pasteur or plastic pipettes which are ideal for reaching into deeper vessels and cuvettes.
Reaches into the bottom of semi-micro cuvettes; will not scratch expensive glass or quartz cells
Portable ampoule
Fill, heat-seal and store or aliquot reagents, anti-serum, urine etc.
Mayday Pastettes
Non-Graduated Mayday Pastettes are Pasteur or plastic pipettes which are a larger volume version of the Medi pipette, and are ideal for a very wide range of laboratory and clinical point-of-care liquid transfers.
Subculturing, harvesting, sampling 15, 50, 100ml tubes/flasks
Remove supernatant and media from cell cultures
Wash cells
Post centrifugation/trypsinisation to remove cell layers
Cell Saver Pastettes
Non-Graduated Cell Saver Pastettes are Pasteur or plastic pipettes which are commonly used for tissue culture, but due to the size, capacity and large drop volume, they are suitable for a huge range of tasks across many industries.
The bulb can be cut in half and a filter inserted, or it could be cut at an angle to make a scoop.
Prevent cells from getting stripped/sheared when removed or transferred
Triturate cells
Isolate platelets from blood and wash
Creams
Oils – Automotive fluid transfers
Perfumes – fragrance testing
Beverages
Industrial slurries
Paints
Brewing and Dairy samples
Sampling from bulk liquid food stuffs
3 Inch Pastettes
Non-Graduated 3 Inch Pastettes are Pasteur or plastic pipettes which are small, with a low volume.
Spreading and mixing
Oil Immersion microscopy
Large Non-Graduated 9 Inch/Jumbo Pastettes
The Large Non-Graduated 9 Inch and Jumbo Pastettes are our very largest Pasteur or plastic pipettes and are intended for demanding liquid handling tasks where the transfer of larger and difficult to reach samples is the key requirement. They are commonly used for reaching into tall bottles and deep narrow-necked vessels.
Control - With a soft and responsive bulb Jumbo Pastettes provide a high level of dexterity and control for quick and easy use.
Safety – Manufactured from low density polyethylene, these versatile pipettes are safe to use with a wide variety of liquids including oils, making them suitable for a whole host of applications from tissue culture to engineering.
Subculturing, Harvesting, Sampling 15, 50, 100ml tubes and flasks
Remove supernatant and media from cell cultures
Post centrifugation/trypsinisation to remove cell layers
Layering in columns/transfers in columns
Wash cells
Water sampling/testing
Sampling from 24 hour urine containers
Clinical sample collections
Blood culture bottles
Sampling from bulk liquid food stuffs
Aseptic media transfers
Brewing and Dairy Samples
Automotive fluid transfers
Our customers say:
“There’s nothing quite like them for reaching the bottom of Winchesters, 24-hour urine bottles and tissue”
Virtually every pipette in the Non Graduated Pastette range has a customer application story behind it:
"We need to handle very small volumes for oil immersion microscopy and similar applications.”
The 3 inch non-graduated pipette (LW4273).
The Jumbo pipette with its large volume and very long stem, was initially developed to take aliquots from the bottom of two litre Winchester containers.
The large bore Cell saver Pastette was developed for protecting valuable cell samples from pipetting damage, and has been adopted as a product of choice for sampling from large tissue culture flasks.
There are even some Pastettes named after the customer they were developed for:
“ We require a larger volume version of the Medi pipette" The Mayday Clinic (now hospital)
The Mayday pipette (LW4141).
