We believe that true innovation combines performance with responsibility. That’s why we are proud to announce a world first: an ISCC PLUS certified electrically conductive pipette tip material.
This breakthrough enables diagnostic manufacturers to significantly reduce the carbon footprint of one of the most widely used laboratory consumables, pipette tips, without compromising on performance, safety, or reliability.
Why Sustainability Matters in Diagnostics
Laboratories worldwide rely on billions of pipette tips each year. These critical single-use consumables ensure accuracy, safety, and contamination control in diagnostics and life sciences.
Yet, because of their high volume and disposable nature, pipette tips represent a major opportunity to drive sustainability improvements. Diagnostic OEMs and labs are under increasing pressure to reduce waste and carbon emissions without risking the quality standards their work demands.
What is ISCC PLUS Certification?
ISCC PLUS (International Sustainability & Carbon Certification PLUS) is a globally recognized certification system that enables the use of sustainable feedstocks through a mass-balance approach.
Think of it like green electricity: when you choose wind or solar energy, the electrons coming to your house are the same as from any other source, but your choice ensures more renewable energy enters the grid.
The same principle applies here:
- ISCC-certified raw materials are mixed with conventional raw materials in the supply chain.
- Through a robust traceability system, the sustainable portion is accounted for and allocated to the final product.
- The result: lower carbon footprint without any change in formulation, chemistry, or quality.
Premix products made from ISCC PLUS certified raw materials are identical to virgin plastic products in performance but more sustainable in their origin.
Premix’s ISCC PLUS Certified Conductive Pipette Tip Material
Premix has developed the world’s first electrically conductive pipette tip material with ISCC PLUS certification.
- Electrically conductive: ensures safe and accurate liquid handling in diagnostics by preventing static build-up.
- Sustananility sourced: Based on ISCC PLUS certified feedstocks, with 40% of the raw materials biobased. Verified through stringent supply chain checkpoints, this approach can significantly reduce the CO₂ footprint, in some cases up to 100% compared to virgin fossil-based materials.
- High performance: delivers the same mechanical, conductive, and quality characteristics as conventional virgin plastic compounds.
This makes it possible for diagnostic manufacturers to integrate sustainability directly into high-volume consumables without revalidation or design changes.
Built on a Robust Supply Chain and Six Sigma Mindset
Behind the scenes, achieving ISCC compliance requires certification not only for the production facility, but also for the entire process and supply chain. We have implemented clear critical control points in sourcing, product development, production, and delivery to meet these strict requirements. Every ISCC-certified material is tracked and verified in our ERP system, ensuring full transparency and traceability throughout the value chain.
Benefits for Customers
- Sustainability: Lower carbon footprint with no compromise in product performance.
- Compliance: Supports OEMs’ ESG goals and circular economy commitments.
- Performance Assurance: Identical mechanical, conductive, and functional properties to non-ISCC materials.
- Ease of Adoption: No reformulation or additional testing required by the customer.
We are committed to helping diagnostic companies and laboratories meet their climate and sustainability goals while continuing to deliver safe, reliable, and high-quality solutions to the market.
