Facilitating safe and efficient liquid transfers is a daily requirement for microbiology, clinical testing, and general chemistry. Professional laboratory pasteur pipettes, including plastic transfer models, provide a disposable solution for moving reagents without the risk of cross-contamination. As a versatile part of our liquid handling ecosystem, these tools complement the precision workflows found in our pipettes range, offering reliable performance for routine sampling.
Why Choose Professional Pasteur Pipettes?
Our curated collection of transfer pipettes and glass capillaries is designed for ease of use and sample integrity:
- Graduated Transfer Pipettes: We stock LLG Transfer Pipettes in 1 mL and 3 mL macro graduated sizes, available in both sterile single-wraps and non-sterile bulk packs.
- High-Capacity Sampling: Utilize Thermo Samco Transfer Pipets with capacities up to 7.5 mL, featuring non-sterile graduated designs for larger volume movements.
- Traditional Glass Options: Explore LLG Pasteur Pipets Glass, featuring a 2 mL capacity and 230 mm length, ideal for applications requiring the chemical resistance of glass.
- Diverse Material Selection: Choose from high-quality LDPE for flexible plastic transfers or specialized glass for heat and solvent resistance.
LabFriend supplies pasteur pipettes and transfer tools from industry-leading manufacturers:
- LLG Labware: A primary provider of cost-effective plastic transfer pipettes and traditional glass pasteur pipettes in bulk packs.
- Thermo Scientific: Features the specialized Samco range of transfer pipets, renowned for their consistency and varied bulb capacities.
- BRAND & Hirschmann: Leading manufacturers of high-precision volumetric glass and innovative liquid handling hardware.
- Kartell & Jet Bio-Filtration: Specialized providers of sterile plastic labware and liquid handling consumables.
Simple and effective liquid transfer is the foundation of a productive lab; to further enhance your laboratory system, we recommend exploring these related categories:
- Microlitre Pipettes: Use Eppendorf or LLG variable volume pipettes for tasks requiring higher mechanical precision than transfer pipettes.
- Graduated Pipettes: Utilize Hirschmann glass pipettes for accurate analytical measurements in the 1 mL to 20 mL range.
- Capillary Tubes: Explore Hirschmann Ringcaps for specialized micro-volume sampling and diagnostic tests.
- Hand Dispensers: Use BRAND HandyStep S for rapid, repetitive dispensing that exceeds the speed of manual pipetting.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is the difference between a Pasteur pipette and a transfer pipette?
A traditional Pasteur pipette is made of glass and requires a separate rubber bulb, whereas a transfer pipette is typically a one-piece molded plastic unit with an integrated bulb.
2. When should I choose sterile transfer pipettes?
Sterile pipettes, such as the LLG single-wrapped 3 mL models, are essential for microbiology and cell culture applications to prevent environmental contamination of your samples.
3. What are the benefits of using LDPE plastic transfer pipettes?
LDPE (Low-Density Polyethylene) transfer pipettes are shatterproof, flexible, and can be used for safe liquid handling without the risk of glass breakage or aerosol contamination.
4. Can glass Pasteur pipettes be reused?
While glass is chemically resistant, Pasteur pipettes are generally intended for single use to ensure there is no carry-over between samples, though they can be autoclaved if necessary.
