Falcon Aspirating Pipet 5 ml Polystyrene Case of 200 Pipettes

Falcon 5 ml Aspirating Pipette (357501) - Individually Wrapped

The Falcon 357501 is a high-quality 5 ml aspirating pipette engineered for the safe and efficient removal of fluids in aseptic laboratory environments. Manufactured from high-clarity, medical-grade virgin polystyrene, these pipettes are designed without graduations or internal plugs, making them the ideal tool for vacuum-assisted aspiration of supernatants, cell culture media, and wash buffers. The 357501 features a smooth, narrow tip that facilitates access to tight spaces in tubes, flasks, and microplates while maintaining precise control over fluid removal. Delivered individually sealed in a paper/plastic "peel-open" wrap, these pipettes ensure maximum sterility and ease of use within biosafety cabinets and cleanrooms. Certified non-pyrogenic and non-cytotoxic, Falcon aspirating pipettes are the industry standard for maintaining sterile culture conditions in pharmaceutical and biological research.

Technical Performance and Design

• Unplugged & Non-Graduated Design: Specifically optimized for aspiration tasks where volume measurement and plug protection are not required, providing a streamlined and cost-effective alternative to serological pipettes.

• High-Clarity Polystyrene: Offers exceptional transparency, allowing the user to clearly monitor fluid levels and interface layers during sensitive aspiration procedures.

• Aseptic Integrity: The individual paper/plastic wrap is designed for a clean peel, preventing fiber shed and ensuring the pipette remains sterile until the moment of use in the tissue culture hood.

• Precision Tip Geometry: The tip is engineered to provide consistent suction and access, minimizing the risk of disturbing cell pellets or sensitive biological layers.
