Many researchers are looking for an easy way to reduce their carbon footprint, use less plastic and be more sustainable around the lab. The Axygen HybridRack, from Corning, is designed to enable just that, marrying functionality and sustainability by pairing a polypropylene deck with a paperboard base to allow for more sustainability in science — without sacrificing quality or comfort.

The product’s innovative paperboard and plastic hybrid design is said to use 70% less plastic than a traditional tip rack. This hybrid design creates a stable platform allowing end users to pipette directly from the paperboard base — even with a multi-channel instrument. The paperboard base can be easily recycled using most kerbside recycling programs, which should reduce the amount of plastic being thrown away in the lab.

Corning’s hybrid design is sterile, non-pyrogenic, RNase/DNase-free, and human gDNA- and PCR-inhibition-free. It is available with a polyethylene filter and available with Axygen Maxymum Recovery surface for maximum sample recovery. The product is made in the USA in an ISO 13485 and ISO 14001 registered facility.
