Save Laboratory Budget with New Recyclable Rainin TerraRack™ Pipette Tip Racks from METTLER TOLEDO

Many laboratories will be familiar with the issues associated with the disposal of plastic pipette tip rack waste for sterile pipette tips, including the storage of bulky plastic waste, as well as the expense involved. METTLER TOLEDO has addressed these problems with the introduction of the innovative Rainin TerraRack line of pipette tip racks.

Lightweight Recyclable PETE Design

TerraRacks are 50 % lighter than conventional tip racks, highly compressible when empty and completely recyclable. TerraRacks are composed largely of PETE (polyethylene terephthalate), an exceptionally strong polyester that is easy to recycle and in high demand as a post-waste commodity. The TerraRack shell, with its hinged lid and front latch, is molded as a single PETE unit, making it exceptionally lightweight while a polypropylene tip deck snaps into the shell, adding structural support with minimal weight.

Reduce Disposal Costs

TerraRacks solve a major problem in labs around the world: what to do with used racks. Spent conventional racks can consume a large volume of space and represent a significant amount of plastic waste. Where disposal rates are based on weight, they are also a considerable expense. TerraRacks, on the other hand, have less than half the weight and plastic of conventional racks and nest inside one another after use, significantly reducing their volume and disposal costs.

Keep Your Pipette Tips Sterile

Because every rack is presterilized, individually wrapped and sealed for maximum purity, TerraRacks do not need to be autoclaved. Between uses, the hinged lid and secure latch protect unused tips from damage and exposure.

For those who like the weightier, more conventional tip rack feel, there's TerraBase, a durable, reusable base for TerraRack. Made from translucent polycarbonate and with silicone feet, TerraBase is autoclavable, chemically resistant and built to give years of service.

Easily Integrate into Your Workflow

TerraRacks with Rainin BioClean™ tips are available for both universal fit pipettes and those equipped with the LTS™ LiteTouch™ system, and include non-filter, filter and ShaftGard™ options. All TerraRack tips are presterilized. TerraBase is available in short and tall models to fit a variety of tip volumes.
