McKesson Transfer Pipettes - One-Piece LDPE, Non-Sterile, Shatter-Resistant (Case)

Durable One-Piece Transfer Pipettes for Laboratory Applications

The McKesson Transfer Pipettes are professional-grade, one-piece liquid transfer tools designed for reliable performance in laboratory, clinical, and research settings. Manufactured from high-quality low-density polyethylene (LDPE), these transfer pipettes offer exceptional durability and chemical resistance, making them ideal for a wide range of liquid handling applications across medical, scientific, educational, and industrial environments.

One-Piece Construction for Leak-Free Performance

Each transfer pipette features a seamless one-piece design that eliminates the risk of leaks, separation, or component failure during use. Unlike multi-piece pipettes that can come apart or develop leaks at connection points, this integrated construction ensures consistent, reliable liquid transfer every time. The monolithic design also simplifies handling and reduces the learning curve for new users, making these pipettes ideal for high-volume laboratory operations where efficiency and reliability are paramount.

Low-Density Polyethylene (LDPE) Material

Manufactured from premium low-density polyethylene, these transfer pipettes deliver superior flexibility, chemical resistance, and durability compared to glass or rigid plastic alternatives. LDPE is specifically chosen for its excellent resistance to a wide range of chemicals, acids, bases, and solvents commonly used in laboratory applications. The material's inherent flexibility allows for precise control of liquid dispensing through gentle squeezing of the bulb, while its resilience ensures the pipette returns to its original shape after each use, maintaining consistent performance through multiple transfers.

Shatter-Resistant and Break-Proof Design

Unlike traditional glass pipettes that pose significant safety hazards when broken, these LDPE transfer pipettes will not shatter or break even when dropped on hard surfaces or subjected to impact. This shatter-resistant construction dramatically improves laboratory safety by eliminating the risk of glass-related injuries, contamination from broken glass fragments, and costly cleanup procedures. The break-proof design is particularly valuable in busy clinical laboratories, educational settings with student users, and any environment where safety is a top priority.

Versatile Plain Design for Multiple Applications

The plain, ungraduated design makes these transfer pipettes suitable for general liquid transfer applications where precise volume measurement is not required. This versatility allows them to be used across a broad spectrum of laboratory tasks including sample preparation, reagent addition, culture media transfer, buffer dispensing, waste removal, and general liquid handling. The simple design also makes them economical for high-volume use where disposable pipettes are preferred to avoid cross-contamination between samples.

Non-Sterile for General Laboratory Use

These transfer pipettes are supplied non-sterile, making them ideal for routine laboratory applications where sterility is not required. The non-sterile format provides excellent value for general liquid handling tasks, quality control procedures, educational laboratories, and research applications where sterile technique is not necessary. For applications requiring sterility, the pipettes can be autoclaved or sterilized using appropriate laboratory protocols.

Chemical Resistance for Diverse Applications

LDPE material offers broad chemical compatibility, resisting degradation from many common laboratory chemicals including dilute acids, bases, alcohols, and aqueous solutions. This chemical resistance ensures the pipettes maintain their integrity and performance even when handling aggressive substances, preventing contamination of samples and ensuring accurate liquid transfer. The material is also resistant to moisture absorption, maintaining consistent performance in humid laboratory environments.

Flexible Bulb for Precise Control

The integrated flexible bulb design allows users to control liquid aspiration and dispensing with precision through simple squeezing and releasing motions. The responsive bulb provides tactile feedback that helps users develop consistent technique and achieve reproducible results. The ergonomic design reduces hand fatigue during extended pipetting sessions, improving comfort and productivity in high-volume laboratory workflows.

Economical Bulk Packaging

Supplied in convenient case quantities, these transfer pipettes offer exceptional value for laboratories with high-volume liquid handling needs. Bulk packaging reduces per-unit costs, minimizes reordering frequency, and ensures an adequate supply is always available for routine operations. The case format is ideal for clinical laboratories, research facilities, quality control departments, educational institutions, and any setting where transfer pipettes are used regularly.

Disposable Design for Contamination Prevention

As single-use disposable pipettes, these tools eliminate the risk of cross-contamination between samples that can occur with reusable pipettes. The disposable format also eliminates the time and expense associated with cleaning, sterilizing, and maintaining reusable pipettes, freeing up laboratory staff to focus on more valuable tasks. After use, pipettes can be disposed of according to laboratory waste protocols, ensuring proper handling of potentially contaminated materials.

FSA/HSA Eligible Laboratory Supply

As a qualified medical and laboratory expense, these transfer pipettes are eligible for purchase using Flexible Spending Account (FSA) or Health Savings Account (HSA) funds, providing cost-effective procurement options for healthcare facilities, clinical laboratories, and research institutions.
