Disposable Plastic Transfer Pipettes for Laboratory Liquid Handling and Specimen Transfer
Disposable plastic transfer pipettes are one-piece LDPE bulb pipettes used for rapid, contamination-free liquid transfer in urinalysis, hematology, microbiology, reagent dispensing, microscopy, and specimen preparation. Capacities from 1 mL (fine tip) to 23 mL (extra-long); graduated and non-graduated formats; sterile (individually wrapped, gamma-irradiated) and non-sterile bulk options. MBP carries Globe Scientific transfer pipette lines and ships to labs across the United States, Canada, and internationally with PO and Quick Order at mbpinc.net.

What are disposable transfer pipettes?
Disposable transfer pipettes are single-use plastic liquid-handling tools made from low-density polyethylene (LDPE). They are designed as a one-piece bulb-and-stem system used for transferring, dispensing, and handling small volumes of liquids in laboratory workflows.
They are commonly used as a safer and more convenient alternative to glass Pasteur pipettes. Being plastic and disposable, they eliminate the risk of breakage, reduce cross-contamination, and remove the need for separate rubber bulbs. The flexible bulb allows controlled aspiration and dispensing of reagents, samples, and solutions.
What you will find:
- Graduated transfer pipettes – for approximate volume measurement and controlled dispensing
- Non-graduated transfer pipettes – for simple liquid transfer without measurement markings
- Fine-tip transfer pipettes – for small droplets and precise spot dispensing
- Sterile transfer pipettes – for microbiology and contamination-sensitive workflows
- Non-sterile transfer pipettes – for routine laboratory use
- Disposable Pasteur pipettes – for general single-use liquid handling
How to choose transfer pipettes
Tip style
Fine-tip pipettes are used for precise work such as microplate spotting and small-volume handling. Standard tips are suitable for general transfers, while wide-bore designs are better for viscous liquids or blood samples. Longer stems help access deep containers.
Capacity and volume handling
Select pipettes based on typical working volumes. Smaller pipettes are suitable for low-volume transfers, while larger ones are used for routine sample handling. The effective draw volume depends on bulb capacity and usage technique.
Graduated vs non-graduated
Graduated pipettes allow approximate volume estimation and are useful in clinical and diagnostic workflows. Non-graduated pipettes are intended for general dispensing where precise measurement is not required.
Sterility requirements
Sterile pipettes are used in microbiology, cell culture, and clinical applications where contamination control is essential. Non-sterile versions are suitable for general laboratory and teaching use.
Length and accessibility
Long pipettes are preferred for deep vessels such as flasks and bottles, while shorter designs are used for compact tubes and small workspaces.
Specifications context
Disposable LDPE transfer pipettes are widely used laboratory consumables for general-purpose liquid handling in research, clinical, and educational environments. They are available in sterile and non-sterile formats with multiple tip designs and capacities to support different workflows.
These pipettes remain a standard alternative to glass Pasteur pipettes due to their safety, low cost, and reduced contamination risk in routine laboratory applications.
