Pipette Tip Refills packed in FSC certified cardboard
- Uses 42-55% less plastics in the packaging compared to standard racked tips
- Kraft paper boxes, 100% FSC certified to ensure the packaging boxes come from responsibly managed forests
- Universal fit - compatible with most popular brands of single and multichannel pipettes
- Graduation marks - allow visual confirmation of pipettor draw volume
- Minimised printing/labels
- Labels are recyclable
Nucleic Acid Prep with 70% less plastics consumption
- Up to 70% less plastic waste
- Due to fewer steps needed compared to silica methods, fewer plastic consumables are thrown out after the extraction process
- Plastic bags and packaging materials are reduced to a minimum. The remaining bags in the kits are made from biodegradable bioplastic (polylactic-acid, PLA), which is based on the renewable resource starch instead of oil-based plastics
- Smaller kits free up shelf space in your laboratory
- Fewer hazardous reagents are used in the kits, contributing to user health, minimal health risks, and reduced disposal costs
Room temperature stable enzymes to reduce freezer time
- Solis Biodyne Enzymes are extremely stable at room temperature, meaning less time in the freezer/fridge and less energy usage.
- In 2021 around 95 % of Solis Biodyne orders were sent at room temperature.
- Shipping the products on blue ice is on average 3 times more expensive than shipping the same package at room temperature (data from 2022).
- Customers save > 2500 styrofoam boxes every year.
- ISCC certified bags, made from 85% bio-based materials
In vitro assay bulkpacks reduce packaging material
- ibidi's in vitro assays replace animal testing in many areas of basic and medical research, and therefore contribute to the implementation of EU Directive 2010/63/EU: Protection of animals in research
- ibidi now offers their most popular products in bulk packaging including 90 and 400 packs.
- Bulk packages reduce packaging materials by including more units in a single box.
- Ordering in bulk means less deliveries, saving fuel and reducing emmissions.
- ibidi replaced the plastic wrap around the product boxes with a quality seal
CleverGEL - Agarose manufactured without Organic Solvents
CleverGEL is a new environmentally friendly agarose suitable for routine analysis of nucleic acids using standard electrophoretic procedures. CleverGEL is manufactured by a process which excludes organic solvents harmful to marine life, making it far kinder to the environment than conventional agarose. Available in Low EEO, High Resolution and Low melting point variations.
