Evolve™ Pipette Tips
Evolve™ pipette tips include Eclipse™ standard surface pipette tips in circular resin pipette tip racks. These tips include as standard many features available from other suppliers only as special upgrades. Evolve™ tips are made of 100% pure virgin medical grade polypropylene so there is no potential for contamination in these tips. Every lot is lab tested and certified free of detectable Nuclease (Rnase/Dnase), Adenosine Tri-phosphate, and Endotoxin (pyrogen) contamination.
All our pipette tip resins are pre-tested for contamination with common metals and other elements. Certificates are downloadable from us by lot number for all our tips from the certificates page.
Circular Resin
Evolve™ Pipette tip racks are made incorporating Circular Economy polypropylene resin. This resin is made from pipette tips and pipette tips racks recovered and reprocessed to form a next generation resin. They are autoclavable repeatedly and have sturdy latch hinges that won't come apart like lesser quality tip racks. They also have a special snap lock designed so that it will not catch on your gloves. Using Evolve™ tips significantly reduces your carbon footprint from the very beginning.
About Circularity
Higher Value
All our Evolve™ tips are packed in deep blue racks with translucent lids. These racks are made of polypropylene and are autoclavable repeatedly. They are designed to be modular and refillable with Eclipse™ tips in Eclipse™ refills. You can also get Eclipse™ tips to refill these racks in resealable zip style bags and in Eclipse™ refills that have been sterilized using irradiation.

US FDA Registered
Unlike other Pipette tip suppliers Labcon is a registered US FDA manufacturer compliant with United States Title 21.
USP
Labcon Evolve™ Tips are made from 100% United States Pharmacopeial Convention Class VI medical grade compliant resins.
Circular Resin
Evolve™ Pipette tip racks are made from closed-loop circular resin significantly reducing their environmental impact.
PFAS Free
Evolve™ Pipette tips have been independently lab tested and are certified to be free of Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances.
Valid Sterility
Our sterile Evolve™ tips like all Labcon products include validated U.S.FDA 10-6 sterility to allow for all laboratory uses.
Made Right
We make our products in the U.S. because keeping things close means we can better control our supply chain, our quality, and our footprint.
Far from "standard" all Labcon Evolve™ Pipette tips feature medical grade polypropylene resins that are U.S. FDA approved. Our sterile Evolve™ Tips are sterilized to an SAL of 10-6 so they can be used in medical and diagnostic applications in addition to research.

Endotoxin Free (Non pyrogenic) Product samples are exposed to endotoxin-free water and the resulting extraction fluid is tested for contamination using the kinetic turbidimetric Limulus Amoebocyte Lysate (LAL) assay protocol and USP guidelines. All products tested must display less than 0.05 EU/ml to be certified free of endotoxin. |
 |
Nuclease Free (RNase/DNase) Product samples are exposed to nuclease-free water and the resulting extraction fluid is tested for nuclease activity on commercially available 7.5 kb Poly(A) tailed RNA (1µg) and HindIII-digested DNA (1µg) with a one hour 37°C incubation in appropriate buffers. Results are visualized on an agarose gel with appropriate positive and negative controls. Extraction fluid samples must show no degradation of the nucleic acids by the extraction fluid has occurred for the product to be certified as RNase-free and DNase-free |
 |
Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP) Product sample surfaces are tested for the presence of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) using a controlled bioluminescence reaction to detect contamination. Luminescence data is compared to results generated by ATP-free surfaces and surfaces with known amounts of ATP as a positive control. The relative light units result must indicate less than 2 X 10-12 mg/µl of ATP for the product to be certified as ATP free. |
 |
Heavy Metals Free Heavy metals have been tested for using the prescribed USP method and confirmed to have levels lower than 1 part per million (1ppm) |
 |
Validated Sterilization Labcon products are sterilized by radiation sterilization within a dose range of 12-35 kGy. The dose range necessary for the stated sterility assurance level is continuously audited through quarterly bio-burden and sterility validation studies performed according to the ANSI/AAMI/ISO 11137 standard by an independent laboratory. This dosage is sufficient to guarantee a sterility assurance level of 10-6. |
 |
Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS) PFAS free products have been tested to ensure the products manufactured are free of PFAS compounds. Testing methods followed the guidance of U.S.EPA Method 537 for specific PFAS compounds and U.S. EPA Method 300.0 for inorganic ions. Tests were performed via Liquid Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (LC-MS), Isotope Dilution Analyte (IDA), and Combustion Ion Chromatography (CIC) by an independent laboratory. |

96 Rack
These racks offer workhorse reliability and versatility. They have heavy hook hinges that are extremely durable and an ergonomic snap latch that won't catch gloves. Smooth rounded edges and reinforced seal make these racks durable additions to your lab. Strong enough to be autoclaved many times. The separate rack insert includes a beveled top and extra sturdy surface for multi-channel pipetting. A vent in the rack sides allows steam autoclaving to be more efficient and assures your tips are sterile.
