Overview
A sterile hood or culture bench is where this Costar Stripette gets used, in a banana-peel plastic wrap that opens for aseptic removal. The wrap eliminates static cling with latex gloves and is clear so the pipet is visible.
The reason to buy is the very fine graduation interval and easy aseptic removal. The packaging is a single material, which the description says reduces storage space and waste and is easy to recycle. The limitation is the large case quantity.
Who it's for
Culture and analytical benches doing small volume transfers that need a fresh sterile pipet each time. Labs wanting only a handful, or reusable glass, should look elsewhere.
Pros and cons

Performance notes
A fine scale reads small volumes in small steps, and the clear wrap lets you see the pipet size before opening. Plastic wrapping alone, without paper, is what makes the packaging a single recyclable material.

Frequently asked questions
Is the Stripette 4012 wrapped in paper?
No. It is individually plastic wrapped in a banana-peel style wrap. The paper and plastic version is a different Stripette listing.
How do I tell the size without opening the wrap?
