About LAB PLASTICWARE

LABORATORY PLASTICWARE USES & APPLICATIONS

Definition:

Laboratory plasticware refers to various plastic-made laboratory instruments and containers used for handling, storing, measuring, and analyzing liquid or solid samples.
These items are typically made from durable plastics such as polypropylene (PP), polyethylene (PE), polycarbonate (PC), polystyrene (PS), or polyvinyl chloride (PVC).

Plasticware has become popular because it is lightweight, cost-effective, unbreakable, and chemically resistant compared to glassware.

USES OF LABORATORY PLASTICWARE

1. Sample Collection and Storage

• Used for collecting, storing, and preserving biological samples, chemicals, and reagents.

• Examples: Sample bottles, centrifuge tubes, vials, microtubes, specimen containers.

2. Measuring and Dispensing Liquids

• Used for accurate measurement and transfer of liquids in experiments.

• Examples: Measuring cylinders, beakers, pipette tips, dispensers.

3. Mixing and Preparation

• Suitable for mixing reagents or preparing solutions that are not highly corrosive.

• Examples: Plastic beakers, mixing bottles, reagent reservoirs.

4. Centrifugation and Separation

• Plastic centrifuge tubes and microtubes are used to separate substances by spinning at high speed.

• Their lightweight design and chemical compatibility make them ideal for laboratory centrifuges.

5. Cell Culture and Biological Applications

• Used for cell and tissue culture, microbiology, and biochemical assays.

• Examples: Petri dishes, culture flasks, cryovials, microplates.

6. Filtration and Pipetting

• Plastic filters and pipette tips ensure contamination-free liquid handling.

• Common in molecular biology, immunology, and clinical diagnostics.

• Disposable plasticware minimizes the risk of cross-contamination.
