Green Apple Environmental Award for pipette tip racks

Rainin TerraRack pipette tip racks have achieved success in last year’s Green Apple Awards. The judges recognised the environmental benefits of this product range – which is designed to minimise the problem of plastic tip rack waste – selecting TerraRack from a field of more than 500 entries to receive a Bronze Award for Environmental Best Practice. The award was presented to EU market manager Ian Eaton-Taylor at a ceremony held at the Houses of Parliament last November.

TerraRacks are composed largely of PETE (polyethylene terephthalate), an exceptionally strong polyester not used previously to construct pipette tips racks, which is easy to recycle and in high demand as a post-waste commodity. The TerraRack shell is moulded as a single unit, into which a polypropylene tip deck snaps, providing structural support with minimal weight.
        Every rack is presterilised, individually wrapped and sealed for maximum purity, and the hinged lid and secure latch protect tips from damage and potential contamination between use. For a weightier, more conventional tip rack feel, an optional re-useable TerraBase, made from autoclavable, chemically resistant translucent polycarbonate, and with silicone feet, is available.
