Overview

A long polystyrene barrel graduated in half milliliter steps defines this Costar Stripette, wrapped individually in paper and plastic. The wrap opens by pop-through or peel-apart and reduces static cling with gloves.

The reason to buy is sterile mid-to-large volume transfer in tissue culture with convenient opening. The limitation is that the listing gives no tolerance, no pipettor fit and a long package that needs storage space.

Who it's for

Culture labs transferring media in tens of milliliters under sterile conditions. Small volumes are better handled with a smaller pipet.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Sterile, individually wrapped
  • Reduces static cling
  • Color coded purple
Cons

Performance notes

The barrel length gives a long scale, so a half milliliter step is easy to read. Sterility holds until the wrap is opened.
