Laboratory Plasticware: Tough, Disposible And Crucially Important

In modern laboratories, plasticware offers the same functions as glassware, but in a far safer, lightweight and economic way. In diagnostic, clinical and pharmaceutical laboratories, high quality plastic consumables are crucial for sample handling, fluid transfer, and containment. LDP (Laboratory Disposable Products) has a wide range of laboratory plasticware to aid professionals in the field of science regarding precision and reliability.

In managing cleanrooms, performing high-throughput screening, or conducting histological analysis, our line of laboratory plasticware enhances workflow efficiency while supporting sterile environments.

What Are The Advantages Of Plasticware Over Other Materials In The Laboratory?

Popularity of plasticware in the laboratory has skyrocketed due to its resistance to breakage and disposability, as well as chemical compatibility. The use of plastic lab consumables significantly minimizes the potential for injury and contamination, unlike traditional glassware. Single use plastic lab items are also space efficient, lighter, and cheaper.

Some other extremely versatile advantages of plastic laboratory items include:

• Chemical Resistance:

  Plastic consumables such as polypropylene, polyethylene, and polystyrene withstand corrosive materials such as acids, solvents and reagents.

• Clarity and Transparency:

  Performs optimally for visual inspections and photometric evaluations.

• Sterility:

  Processes that require contamination-free environments can utilize sterile forms of plastic.

• Flexibility:

  From micro-scale assays to large bioprocessing tasks, our plasticware is tailored to fit every laboratory function.

BioProcess Tubing

Our bioprocess tubing and pipes are meant for the transfer of fluids during cell culture, fermentation, and filtration processes, supplying biocompatibility as well as a variety of diameters for flexible interfacing with peristaltic pumps and other laboratory apparatus. Also, made from USP Class VI materials, it ensures biocompatibility.

Buckets

We offer ergonomically suitable and chemical resistant durable plastic buckets which can be used for sample collection, waste disposal, and transport of reagents. Their everyday lab chemical resistance makes them ideal for usage.

General Plasticware

This broad category includes essential lab tools such as plastic beakers, graduated cylinders, and containers. General plastic labware is meant for use not only in ordinary laboratory exercises but also in specialized tasks that demand precision as it is made to withstand rigorous use.

Histology Biopsy Cassettes

Our biopsy cassettes are specially designed to allow for tissue embedding and processing, being used with most automated labeling and handling systems. Having secure lids and ventilation slots makes these cassettes particularly useful in histopathological applications.

Plastic Funnels

These instruments are often employed in both analytical and preparative procedures as our plastic funnels are offered in an extensive range of shapes and sizes to ensure ease during the transfer of liquids or powder to other containers without spillage.

Polystyrene Vessels

Due to its transparency and stiffness, polystyrene serves best as a material for cell culture and sample storage vessels. We provide various types to suit the requirements of each laboratory protocol.

Tissue Cassettes

With our tissue cassettes, we deal with the time-consuming task associated with tissue processing. These cassettes provide optimal fluid exchange and hold samples securely. Therefore, they are essential in histology and pathology labs.

Trays

Used for the sterilization, drying, and orderly arrangement of instruments, plastic lab trays serve multifunctionally. Our range includes both autoclavable and disposable trays catering to contamination control needs.

Tubing Connectors

With our wide range of tubing connectors, ensure no leaks of fluid at tube junctions. These connectors are provided in various configurations: T, Y, straight, and L. They enable fluid transfer in both analytical and preparative workflows.

Valves

Our plastic valves provide precise flow control within a laboratory fluid system. They are reliable and easy to use, which makes them suitable for a variety of laboratory work from chromatography to bioprocessing.
