Clean, Accurate Transfers from 1 to 50 mL
Serological pipettes are the workhorse of every cell culture hood, and a bad one costs you a flask of cells. MTC Bio serological pipettes are made from virgin polystyrene in a Class 100,000 cleanroom under ISO 13485, then E-beam sterilized and individually wrapped in paper/plastic peel pouches.
Vivid black positive and negative graduations let you read volumes accurately in both directions, and standardized color coding means the right size is always easy to find. Choose full-length pipettes from 1 to 50 mL, or short 9 in. (230 mm) versions that fit comfortably in a biosafety cabinet.

Why Labs Choose MTC Bio Serological Pipettes
Virgin Polystyrene
Optically clear, rigid pipettes for accurate reading and dispensing.
Positive & Negative Graduations
Read aspirated and dispensed volumes with ascending and descending scales.
Standardized Color Coding
Yellow, green, blue, purple, red, and black bands identify each volume at a glance.
Plugged
A filter plug helps protect your pipette controller from liquid and aerosol contamination.
Peel-Pouch Packaging
Paper/plastic pouches open cleanly at the hood without touching the pipette.
Short Length Options
230 mm pipettes are easier to handle in biosafety cabinets and tight spaces.
Grab the Right Size Every Time
Every volume carries a standard color band: 1 mL yellow, 2 mL green, 5 mL blue, 10 mL purple, 25 mL red, and 50 mL black. The short versions use blue (5 mL), orange (10 mL), and magenta (25 mL) so they are never confused with full-length pipettes.
Color coding speeds up setup, reduces mix-ups between users, and makes restocking the hood simple.
Graduations You Can Actually Read
Bold black printed graduations stay legible against media, buffers, and cell suspensions.
Resolution scales with volume: 1/100 mL on the 1 and 2 mL pipettes, 1/10 mL on the 5 and 10 mL, 2/10 mL on the 25 mL, and 5/10 mL on the 50 mL.

Tip for Working in the Hood
Short 9 in. pipettes are easier to maneuver under a biosafety cabinet sash and into tall flasks. Open the peel pouch from the top end so the tip stays sterile until it reaches your sample. For small, quick transfers outside the hood, keep a box of our disposable transfer pipettes on the bench. Need a controller? Our ProPette™ pipette controllers fit every size from 1 to 50 mL.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are these a good alternative to Falcon® and Corning® Stripette® serological pipettes?
Yes, for most applications. MTC Bio serological pipettes are sterile, individually wrapped, made from virgin polystyrene under ISO 13485, and use standard color coding and positive and negative graduations. They fit standard pipette controllers. Falcon® and Stripette® are trademarks of their respective owners; Blue Tiger Scientific is not affiliated.
Are MTC Bio serological pipettes sterile?
Yes. Every pipette is E-beam sterilized and individually wrapped in a paper/plastic peel pouch.
What do the pipette colors mean?
Colors identify volume: 1 mL yellow, 2 mL green, 5 mL blue, 10 mL purple, 25 mL red, and 50 mL black. The short 230 mm versions are blue (5 mL), orange (10 mL), and magenta (25 mL).
What are short serological pipettes used for?
The short 230 mm (9 in.) pipettes are easier to handle in biosafety cabinets, under low sashes, and in tight workspaces.
Do the pipettes have filter plugs?
Yes. MTC Bio serological pipettes are plugged to help protect your pipette controller.
How are they packaged?
1 and 2 mL come 500 per case, 5 and 10 mL 200 per case, 25 and 50 mL 150 per case, and the short versions 200 per case in 4 packs of 50.
