Aspirator Pastettes (Pasteur or plastic pipettes)

Like the anteater’s long tongue, aspirator pastettes are long enough to reach into the furthest corners of tissue culture flasks.
The giant anteater digs a small hole in an ant or termite mound and uses an extraordinary set of tongue and jaw movements to lick up the insects as they are exposed. Aspirator Pastettes (Pasteur or plastic pipettes) are the safe alternative to aspirating with glass pipettes on vacuum lines.

Aspirator Pastette

A user of the Jumbo Pastettes told us they were cutting the bulbs off the pipettes and using the stems as serological pipettes. These were placed on vacuum lines to draw off media from tissue culture flasks when a media change was required. The development of the pre-sterilised aspirator pipettes (LW4806 and LW4811) saves considerable money and work, by providing a soft unbreakable replacement for the expensive pipettes they had used previously.
