To ensure the highest possible level of quality for SARSTEDT pipette tips, we pursue various different strategies at all levels. We always use medical grade raw materials at state-of-the-art production facilities in Germany. We have developed our own standards of quality. For example, the label “Biosphere® plus” is a purity standard for laboratory products which guarantees the highest purity and quality. Further to this our pipette tips are IVD compliant and adhere to ISO 8655-2.
Does your laboratory use different pipette types? Thanks to SARSTEDT, you only need one supplier for pipette tips! Pipette tips from SARSTEDT are compatible with various pipette suppliers. The risk of contamination is minimised thanks to precise manufacturing and an optimum fit, and the tips provide maximum precision when collecting and dispensing liquids. With SARSTEDT, everything comes from a single source – and thanks to the bundled delivery, our tips will also help make your laboratory more sustainable.
Whether for routine testing or more specialised diagnostics, SARSTEDT tips are designed to support accurate results and help maintain the safety of both your samples and your laboratory processes. SARSTEDT pipette tips are CE-marked and comply with all applicable in vitro diagnostic (IVD) regulatory requirements. The IVD certification ensures that our tips meet the rigorous standards required for in vitro diagnostic devices, guaranteeing high quality, reliability, and precision.
To ensure maximum precision and reliability, even when handling the smallest volumes, SARSTEDT pipette tips undergo rigorous conformity checks. These checks are conducted in combination with pipettes from leading manufacturers and adhere to the international ISO 8655-2 standard. Pipette tips that meet these stringent requirements are easily identifiable by their conformity certificate and the relevant markings on labels and brochures.
In certified, accredited, or GMP laboratories, it is essential to use pipette tips that comply with ISO 8655-2 to maintain the highest standards of accuracy and performance.
Adherence to this standard ensures the consistent fit of our tip to the cone of your pipettor time and time again. Which means you have consistent reliable results and data.
Our certificates of conformity attest to the regular verification of this accuracy.
Scientific analysis methods have become increasingly more refined in recent years, so that even individual molecules can be detected. Due to the heightened sensitivity, the user places significantly greater demands on the consumable material compared to just a few years ago, in order to be able to rule out even the slightest contamination.
With the Biosphere® plus quality, a purity standard was developed which offers the user the highest possible protection against any contamination.
All Biosphere® plus certified products undergo a validated decontamination procedure, in addition to the ultrapure production conditions. In this way, the limit values can be significantly lower compared to the PCR Performance Tested quality. In addition, Biosphere® plus items are free from ATP and are pyrogen-free/endotoxin-free and sterile in accordance with ISO 11135.
Biosphere® plus - items fulfil the following purity criteria, which are certified by an independent laboratory:
We guarantee that the following limit values will be adhered to:
Human DNA <0.5 fg/µl · Bacterial DNA <0.2 fg/µl · DNase <5x10-7 U/µl
RNase <5x10-11 Kunitz units/µl · ATP <1x10-12 mmol/µl · Pyrogens <0.002 EU/ml · Sterility validated according to ISO 11135
Subject to technical modifications.
’PCR Performance Tested‘ was specifically tailored on the basis of the requirements and the needs of working with nucleic acids (e.g. qPCR, PCR, purification and storage). With this quality classification you get assurance that SARSTEDT consumables can be used directly in nucleic acid analysis.
PCR Performance Tested - items fulfil the following purity criteria, which are certified by an independent laboratory:
We guarantee that the following limit values will be adhered to:
Human DNA <0.5 pg/µl · Bacterial DNA <0.02 pg/µl · DNase <1x10-5 U/µl · RNase <1x10-9 Kunitz units/µl
Subject to technical modifications.

Thank you very much. Your SARSTEDT team
At SARSTEDT, our work follows the principle: Impress with quality, retain with service. Reliability and experience, innovation and dynamism – we build on proven and reliable values, combined with active processes and partnership-based thinking and action.
Laboratories around the world produce a lot of plastic waste due to the often necessary sterile disposable packaging. By combining the refill and recycling cycle we are able to conserve resources, save storage space and produce new laboratory products from recycled pipette tip boxes.
