An estimated 4,000,000 lbs of plastic from pipette tip racks is deposited each year in landfills around the world. That is just one year! Imagine how much plastic is wasted over your lifetime. Plastic does not degrade so even though they are buried in a landfill, they are not going anywhere.
Sorenson BioScience offers two solutions:
Re-use the racks: tips can be purchased in bulk bags and reloaded into used racks. For more convenience, tips can be purchased in QuickRack tip reload systems where the tips are already arranged in an 8 x 12 format. One-piece cellracks are virtually indestructible and can be autoclaved 100’s of times without falling apart. You can re-use the rack and it takes just seconds to load tips.
Plastic-free racks: A truly innovative solution. e∙dek racks are made of paperboard sourced from sustainable forests. Racks are fully recyclable with existing paperboard recycling programs in your lab. Even more, less space is required to recycle. Just flatten your racks after use.
e∙dek Barrier Tips:
Environmental and Ergonomical friendly tips. e∙dek reduces impact on the environment and reduces repetitive strain injuries.
Finally, a truly environmentally sustainable solution for barrier tips.
- Racks manufactured from virgin paperboard sourced from sustainable forests.
- Soy based or water based inks used for printing.
- Racks can be recycled using existing paperboard recycling programs in the lab.
- Used racks require minimal storage space, just flatten and recycle.
- Less weight than plastic racks, reduced energy consumption for shipping and lower costs.
- Minimal packaging materials.
- Certified RNase/DNase-free, human DNA/PCR inhibitor-free, and non-pyrogenic.
e∙dek barrier tips, an ergonomic solution for reducing repetitive strain injuries associated with pipetting:
- OneTouch tips require minimal force to seal. Less force to seal, less force to eject. Good news for reducing wrist and forearm strain.
- Just slight contact with the tip is all that is required for a seal. Why “slam” the tips if you don’t have to?
- Pipetting like you have never felt it. Nothing has been this soft to seal.
Tips are available in 3 sizes:
OneTouch 200 (1-330µl) – Fits 200µl and 300µl single and multi-channel
pipettors as well as some 20, 50, and 100µl pipettors. Color top = yellow
OneTouch 10 (.1-20µl) – Fits 2µl and 10µl single and multi-channel pipettors
as well as some 20µl pipettors. Color top = red. Available Autumn
2008.
OneTouch 1000 (50-1250µl) – Fits 1000µl and 1250µl single and multi-channel pipettors. Color top = blue. Available Autumn 2008.

Bulk Tips:
The best way to sustain our Earth is to re-use or not use as much. Bulk tips come with very little extra packaging, very little waste. You can re-use your plastic racks by loading them with bulk tips or you can just apply one-at-a-time with your hands.
- Minimal packaging – 1,000 tips/bag (polyethylene bag)
- Re-load into cellracks or apply one-at-a-time with your hands.
- Certified RNase/DNase-free, human DNA/PCR inhibitor-free, and non-pyrogenic.
