Pasteur or Transfer Pipettes for New Zealand Laboratory Workflows
Pasteur or transfer pipettes are practical consumables for transferring small liquid volumes between containers, adding drops to samples and supporting routine bench preparation. They are used across teaching laboratories, research facilities, diagnostic workflows, environmental testing and quality control labs where simple and accessible liquid transfer is needed.
- Routine Liquid Transfer: Use Pasteur pipettes for transferring reagents, samples, buffers, stains and other laboratory liquids.
- Glass Pipette Options: Select soda-lime glass Pasteur pipettes where glass construction and a narrow tip are useful for the task.
- Disposable Handling: Choose plastic transfer pipettes where single-use convenience and reduced glass breakage risk are priorities.
- Maintenance Accessories: Source Transferpettor seals where compatible positive displacement pipette accessories are required.
How to Select Pasteur or Transfer Pipettes
Start by reviewing the liquid type, required capacity, material compatibility, sterility requirement and whether the pipette will be used once or reused according to the laboratory procedure. Plastic pipettes may suit routine disposable transfer, while glass Pasteur pipettes are useful where the workflow benefits from a rigid glass stem and fine dispensing control.
- Material Choice: Match glass or plastic construction to the sample, handling process and disposal method.
- Size and Capacity: Check the pipette length and approximate capacity against the container depth and liquid volume.
- Pack Quantity: Use bulk packs for teaching laboratories, high-use sample preparation and routine testing areas.
- Workflow Fit: Match the pipette to aliquoting, dropwise addition, sample transfer, reagent handling, education or QC testing.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a Pasteur pipette and a transfer pipette?
The terms are often used together for simple liquid transfer pipettes. Glass Pasteur pipettes are traditionally made from glass, while many modern transfer pipettes are disposable plastic formats.
Can Pasteur pipettes be used for measured dispensing?
They can support approximate transfer and dropwise dispensing, but they are not the best choice for high-accuracy volumetric measurement.
Can John Morris Group help choose a suitable pipette format?
Yes, the New Zealand team can help review the liquid type, capacity, material preference, pack quantity and workflow before recommending suitable Pasteur or transfer pipettes.
