New Oxford LTR Pipette Tips Offer High Precision and Value
In the past decade, laboratories using LTS pipettes (Rainin LiteTouch System*) faced a single-supplier reality. While Rainin's revolutionary ergonomic design transformed pipetting comfort, the proprietary nature of LTS tips meant limited options and premium pricing. Today, Oxford Lab Products introduces an upgraded alternative with their new LTS-compatible tips that deliver exceptional performance at a fraction of the cost, backed by rigorous testing and innovative manufacturing techniques.

For laboratories considering the switch to LTS-compatible tips, having the right pipette is equally important. The Accupet L pipette series offer full LTS compatibility while delivering the precision and ergonomic benefits that make Oxford's tips shine. When paired together, this combination maximizes both cost savings and performance.

LiteTouch System Success – Ergonomic Pipetting Evolution
In the dynamic realm of laboratory science, the micropipette stands as an indispensable instrument for precise liquid handling across applications ranging from clinical diagnostics to advanced research. However, the repetitive nature of pipetting tasks has led to a surge in work-related musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs), including repetitive strain injuries[1] (RSIs) such as carpal tunnel syndrome and tendinitis.
These occupational health concerns have catalysed a revolution in ergonomic pipetting design, exemplified by innovations like the Rainin LiteTouch System (LTS), which significantly reduces the force required for tip loading and ejection, mitigating the risk of injury and enhancing user comfort.

Science That Reaches Everyone: Why Access and Impact Are at the Heart of What We Do
At Pipette.com, we’ve spent over two decades helping scientists get the tools they need to innovate, discover, and change the world. From academic labs and biotech startups to clinical researchers and educators, we know that the right equipment, in the right hands, can unlock incredible things.
But too often, access to that equipment isn’t equal. And that’s something we’ve always wanted to change.
Why Supporting Science Is Everyone’s Responsibility
Science doesn’t exist in isolation. It powers the medicines we take, the water we drink, the air we breathe. It solves public health crises, helps us understand our changing climate, and gives students the tools to shape a better future.
And yet, access to science is still unequal.
Across the globe, brilliant scientists and passionate students are ready to make breakthroughs, but often lack the basic lab tools they need to do their work. It’s not just a matter of funding - it’s about opportunity, equity, and global progress.
That’s why supporting science matters. Whether you're part of the life sciences industry, an educator, or simply someone who believes in human progress, there are so many ways to make an impact.
How We Help When We Can: Creating Impact Through Action
At Pipette.com, we believe that empowering science starts with action. Whenever we’re able to give back-whether that’s by donating equipment, supporting education programs, or offering sustainable lab alternatives — we do. Because small actions can lead to a big impact.
And at Pipette.com, we’re proud to play our part.
Giving Tools a Purpose - Where They’re Needed Most
Pipette.com partners with Seeding Labs through the Instrumental Access Program, donating lab equipment to institutions in under-resourced regions.
We were thrilled to learn that this equipment is now being used at the University of the West Indies (UWI) in Jamaica as part of a public health research program targeting mosquito-borne diseases.
This is science in action: when tools reach the right hands, they can help protect lives and drive research that benefits entire communities.
Science without borders begins with generosity.
Supporting Education at Home too through Generation STEAM
These materials are part of the Life Science Innov8Ed initiative, specifically the ScienceBridge program, which offers hands-on, in-classroom biomanufacturing experiences to Title 1 high school students. Roughly 200 students participate directly, while over 10,000 students are impacted across San Diego County each year.
Real tools. Real science. Real future scientists. That’s what we’re investing in.

Creating a Smarter, Greener Lab Experience
But impact isn’t only about access. It’s also about how we do science. We know labs generate a lot of waste, especially from single-use plastics and short-lifecycle equipment. That’s why we also offer refurbished pipettes, centrifuges, and more - tools that have been fully tested, recalibrated, and brought back to life for a second round of scientific discovery.
We believe in helping labs operate efficiently - not just financially, but environmentally, too.
Our Feel Good, Feel Green initiative encourages labs to think differently about what “new” really means, and how sustainability and performance can go hand in hand.

Sustainable Lab Practices: How to Reduce Lab Waste for Greener Science
As we celebrate Earth Day, it's the perfect time to examine how our scientific pursuits impact the planet. Research laboratories are undoubtedly engines of innovation, but they also generate a staggering amount of waste. From single-use plastics to outdated instruments, the environmental footprint is substantial.

The Evolution of Micropipettes in the Lab | Pipette.com
Among all the lab equipment used in biotechnology, micropipettes are the most universally recognized — and arguably the most transformative. These precise liquid-handling tools are vital in genetic research, molecular biology, clinical diagnostics, and pharmaceutical development. While micropipettes are now considered standard, their evolution from glass tubes to precision tools illustrates how innovation has continuously shaped the tools we rely on today.
